Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of handicraft manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a method for manufacturing handicrafts made from recycled waste paper. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of mechanized products such as plastics and ceramics, paper jars, a traditional folk handicraft of Jiaodong, seem to have been replaced and gradually faded from the historical stage in recent years, becoming hard to find. While its origins are unknown, the craft of making paper jars was very popular during the period of extreme scarcity in the 1960s and 70s. Paper jars were once an essential household item for storing flour, crop seeds, and cooked food. Paper baskets, derived from paper jars, were used to store fruits, candies, roasted nuts, needles, threads, buttons, knives, and scissors. Paper boxes were used to store rouge, lipstick, and various small items—economical, readily available, convenient, and durable.

[0003] Making paper jars is definitely a craft. Because the pulp is forcefully slapped onto a mold during the process, it's also called "making paper jars," and it's usually done in the windy, dry spring. The basic process includes soaking the pulp, shaping the blank, drying, adding materials, and mounting. In short, paper jars come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and finishes, a veritable feast for the eyes. Paper jars are sturdy and durable; if a child knocks them over, they won't break or injure anyone. They are moisture-proof, preventing stored grain from easily becoming moldy. They are rodent- and insect-proof, as the lids prevent rats from chewing them and insects from getting in. In those days, it could be said that in rural households, storage rooms, heated brick beds, and mills were almost everywhere filled with paper jars of all sizes and shapes—some simple and sturdy, some dignified and elegant, some ornate and alluring—every household could hold a paper jar art exhibition. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing handicrafts made from recycled waste paper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for manufacturing waste paper recycling handicrafts, comprising the following steps: Preparation phase: Prepare suitable paper materials; prepare paper of appropriate size according to the size of the craft item being made; Select a suitable mold; choose a mold according to the shape and size of the craft item; prepare the mixture; the mixture is latex and water mixed evenly in a 1:4 ratio; place a diaphragm on the mold; prepare for demolding; dip the paper material into the mixture, and then evenly apply it to the mold through the diaphragm; no need for long soaking, just evenly wet the paper material; until the required thickness is reached, and leave an exit for removing the mold; make all parts.

[0006] Drying and unmolding stage: Place in a well-ventilated place to dry; until the outside is dry and the inside is still moist; then unmold. Assembly stage: Cut off any uneven gaps and repair the edges; use hot glue to secure the parts; use shredded paper soaked in latex to cover the joint surface and secure it; perform detail work, including painting, carving, and decoration.

[0007] Further, the mixture is a homogenous blend of latex and water in a 1:4 ratio. Further, demolding... During the process, if the mold is irregularly shaped, it needs to be cut into multiple sections. After demolding, the cut surfaces should be re-glued together using paper material dipped in the mixture. Let it air dry for 6-8 days until completely dry before proceeding with post-processing.

[0008] Furthermore, when selecting molds, you can combine multiple common household items, or you can use malleable materials such as balloons or clay to create the molds you need.

[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: This invention utilizes waste paper to efficiently produce various practical and attractive handicrafts with a strong historical and cultural flavor; it exudes a strong local flavor and is relatively green and environmentally friendly; the required materials are simple. ， The handicrafts made are lightweight. In rural homes, paper jars of all sizes and shapes, some simple and heavy, some dignified and grand, and some fancy and attractive, can be found almost everywhere—in storage rooms, on kang beds, and in mills. Every household could hold a paper jar art exhibition. Detailed Implementation

[0010] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0011] Example 1 If the main body of the handicraft to be made is cylindrical, then: A method for manufacturing handicrafts made from recycled waste paper includes the following steps: (I) Preparation Stage: Prepare suitable paper materials; prepare paper of appropriate size according to the size of the craft item being made; waste newspapers or waste notebooks can be used. Select suitable molds; in this embodiment, large molds can be made from buckets, while small molds can be made from balloons, thermos cups, etc. Prepare the mixture; the mixture is latex and water mixed evenly in a 1:4 ratio; practical testing has shown that without latex, the paper will still collapse and cannot stand up after drying, while with latex, the paper becomes very hard after drying, making it easy to shape. Traditional paper cylinders can stand up because they are very thick, about 1-2cm. Using latex, mixed with water in a 1:4 ratio, yields the best results and also saves on latex materials.

[0012] A diaphragm is placed on the mold to prepare for demolding. In this embodiment, the diaphragm is a plastic bag, and its function is to facilitate demolding.

[0013] (ii) Mounting stage: Dip the paper raw material into the mixture and then evenly attach it to the mold through the diaphragm; no long soaking is required, just evenly wet the paper raw material. Wetting is to enhance the plasticity of the paper; the thickness is 3-6mm.

[0014] (III) Drying and demolding stage: Place in a ventilated place to dry; dry until the outside is dry and the inside is moist; demold by pushing the mold out directly from the other end.

[0015] (iv) Assembly stage: Cut off any uneven gaps and repair the edges; use scraps of paper dipped in latex to cover the joint surface and secure it firmly; joints glued with hot melt glue are brittle and will fall apart at the slightest touch. Using paper dipped in a mixture of latex and glue results in a much stronger bond. This is a conclusion we reached after practical verification. Then proceed with detailed finishing, including painting, carving, and decoration.

[0016] Example 2 Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0017] If the main body of the craft item to be made is jar-shaped, then a balloon can be used as a mold. During the demolding process, the jar-shaped craft item needs to be placed at the "belly" part. Next, prepare the mixture; the mixture is latex and water mixed evenly in a 1:3 ratio; let it dry for 2-3 days, about 3 days on cloudy days, and about 2 days on sunny days until it is dry on the outside and moist on the inside. It should not be too wet or too dry. If it is too dry, the mold cannot be removed, and if it is too wet, the shape will be deformed after the mold is removed.

[0018] Example 3 Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0019] If the main body of the craft item to be made is a raised platform, two everyday cylinders can be used as a mold. During demolding, the main body of the craft item can be cut into two sections at the joint of the mold. After demolding, the cut surfaces can be re-glued together using paper material soaked in a mixture of latex and water in a 1:4 ratio. Practical experience has shown that this mixture is effective and meets the requirements. Allow it to dry for 6-8 days until completely dry before proceeding with post-processing. Alternatively, molds made from malleable materials such as balloons or clay can also be used.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the method for manufacturing handicrafts from recycled waste paper in the above embodiments are as follows: using waste paper, various practical and beautiful handicrafts with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere can be produced efficiently; they exude a strong local flavor and are relatively green and environmentally friendly; the required materials are simple, and the handicrafts are lightweight and environmentally friendly.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
