What are the commonly used decoration techniques for clothing?

The commonly used decorative techniques on clothing and apparel include tie-dyeing, batik, hollow-out printing, splash-dyeing, hand-painting, embroidery, drawnwork, folding, weaving, and embellishment. They can be used in various woven fabrics, knitwear, leather and other clothing materials, so that ordinary clothing materials have a richer artistic charm and form a new visual impact. At the same time, the use of non-clothing materials in clothing and apparel will make clothing and apparel more icing on the cake. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Dyeing process:

Valerian is a generic term for printed fabrics. Valerian has twisted valerian, wax valerian and clip valerian.

Tie-dyeing is one of the anti-dyeing techniques in ancient China. It originated in the folk, and it is said that it has been popular as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties. This method does not require patterning or drawing with a pen. It is the easiest and easiest to master in printing and dyeing. The fabric to be dyed is stitched, tied, folded, and bundled with thread according to the pre-designed pattern. After the dyeing, the thread is removed to reveal white spots and patterns. The texture change and the colorful halo effect formed naturally due to the uneven penetration of the dye solution in the tie part is even more unique. This anti-dyeing method is most suitable for dyeing dotted flowers and striped patterns, and can also dye complex geometric patterns, cross-flower shapes, and butterfly shapes.

Wax valerian

Wax valerian, namely batik, is named after the use of wax as an anti-dyeing agent, which belongs to the anti-dyeing method. Batik is to use white, yellow wax and rosin to heat and melt in a certain proportion, draw patterns on the cloth string with a wax knife or a brush, and then dip and agitate, the wax flower will crack, the dye solution penetrates along the cracks, after solidification, dip or brush dyeing, and finally Remove wax stains in boiling water or a specific solvent, rinse and serve. Because the dye solution is difficult to dye at the waxed area, the fabric shows a white pattern. This is a single color batik. In the dyeing process of batik, natural cracks or deliberately folded cracks will be generated in the waxed part, and the dye solution will infiltrate to form a unique pattern, so it is also commonly known as "ice pattern".

clip is a dye-proof printing method. It uses two symmetrical engraved clip plates to clamp the fabric and apply color. The pattern is symmetrical after dyeing.

2, printing process:

The printing process is divided into hollow type printing and splash-dyeing printing. The hollow type printing is mainly divided into three categories, namely, hollow type white paste anti-dyeing vat blue printing, hollow type white paste anti-dyeing paste printing and hollow type color paste direct printing.

The traditional hollow-out version of white pulp anti-indigo printing is commonly known as "medicine patch" and "blue calico", and it is called gray valerian in ancient times. Its printing method is to spread the engraved cone hollow pattern on a white cloth, and use a paste anti-dyeing agent made of lime and soybean powder to scrape into the hollow of the pattern with a squeegee, and then print it on the cloth surface. After the slurry is completely dry, soak the vat blue several times, and scrape off the anti-dyeing slurry layer after drying to show a blue and white pattern. Its patterns are mostly auspicious patterns composed of different sizes and dense dots.

hollow type white paste anti-dyeing paddle printing is different from the former in that its dyeing is mainly based on multi-color, and it can be combined with local brush dyeing and dip dyeing to obtain rich dyeing effects.

Hollow type color paste direct printing is a method of engraving into a pattern with waterproof leather plate material or waterproof oil-proof paper plate material, and using the color paste to print directly on the hollow part of the hammer.

Splash dyeing is one of the more popular manual printing methods in recent years. Its production method is to use acid dyes to splash or brush colors on the silk fabric at will, and then sprinkle salt on the screen while it is not dry, and use the alkalinity of the salt and the acid neutralization of the dye to form a natural flow on the silk Abstract pattern.

3, hand-painted:

Hand Painted

hand-painting is a printing method in which a pen is directly dipped in dye solution to draw patterns on fabrics or clothing. Hand-painted is generally used for silk fabrics, such as real silk, power spinning, crepe de chine, georgette, plain crepe satin, etc. Due to the different drawing techniques, hand-painting can be divided into four types: direct drawing, anti-dyeing, blocking-dyeing and type-dyeing. The color materials used in direct hand-painting are dyes and paints, and the dyes can be used directly after being diluted. Anti-dye painting is a painting method that uses an anti-dye agent to make the necessary shapes on the stretched fabric, and then apply colors. It can be divided into two types: isolation glue anti-dyeing and slurry anti-dyeing.

4. Embroidery:

China is a civilized country with a long history. The rich cultural heritage is an inexhaustible treasure. The art of embroidery is one of them. Embroidery, commonly known as "embroidery", is a process of piercing the processed clothing or textile products in accordance with actual requirements, and embroidering the needle thread to decorate, beautify and reprocess the clothing or textile products.

embroidery

Embroidery handicrafts form a unique artistic effect with their own language expression. There are many types of embroidery crafts, various techniques, exquisite embroidery skills and a wide range of subjects, so they are called classics of handicrafts. Chinese embroidery is divided into four schools: Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery.

Embroidery can be divided into color embroidery (color embroidery generally refers to the embroidery skills of embroidering patterns in various colors), bag stem embroidery, cut embroidery, appliqué embroidery, thread patch embroidery, nail bead embroidery, etc. On the basis of these decorative methods, new methods and new material changes have produced many new forms.

5, drawnwork:

drawnwork is a special variety of embroidery, a type of weaving and embroidery craftsmanship. It is a handicraft made by knitting, knotting, drawing, locking, engraving and other methods on fiber materials, in conjunction with embroidery and other techniques. It is developed on the basis of ancient folk embroidery and absorbing European lace technique. It has become a kind of transformation method independently because of its extensive use in the reconstruction of clothing materials.

drawnwork

Use linen or cotton plain fabric with obvious texture and thick yarn count. According to the pattern, part of the warp or weft is extracted, and the yarns are extracted in the warp and weft respectively to form a hollow effect of strips. The edge of the fabric is drawn in one direction. A tassel effect is formed. If the warp and weft yarns are drawn irregularly, a special pattern can be formed, which can then be patched, embroidered or inlaid to form decorative handicrafts with open patterns. With the continuous innovation of craftsmanship, drawnwork products have long gone beyond the original meaning, and are often used together with other material reconstruction methods, such as drawnwork embroidery, beam color or interspersed cords.
