DESIGN OF HOME DECORATION PRODUCTS FROM CANDLE-PLATED FABRIC

Abstract

This study is qualitative research conducted in three stages: 1 ) Experiment with fabric
forming using the candle plating technique; 2 ) Analyze and experiment with candle plating
fabric materials to design products; and 3 ) Design home decoration products from candle-
plated fabric. The results showed that natural fiber fabrics have more suitable properties to use
than synthetic fibers. The selection is based on the liquid absorption properties of the fabric.
To be impregnated with candles. The fabric chosen is cotton. Candles can be absorbed better
by cotton than other fabrics. Three patterns can be created: crumpling, folding, and scratching.
The resulting pattern will have a unique character and can be used to design various products
that are unique. In addition, all three patterns can be applied to create a variety of patterns. As
a result of such experiments, candle-plated fabric has distinctive features, including having a
unique pattern. It is translucent, stable, and waterproof. Therefore, the researcher used candle
plating fabric to create works by taking into account the technique and properties of water
resistance through vase products, which demonstrate the best technique and properties of
candle plated fabrics.
