Tufted wool: You can make furry carpets, pillows, photo frames and so on. Use tugboat gun after a tugboat operation.
This is the "tufting" that has become popular recently, which is translated as "tufting", and the more popular name is "poke show". It was originally a traditional craft used to make carpets in factories, but now it has been simplified to manual DIY, which can be made with only a board, a cloth, piles of wool and a gun.
Tufting first became popular from abroad. In 20 18, when making handmade handbags, fiber artist Tim Eads found it comfortable and satisfying to make carpets with tufting guns at home, and soon his photos on Instagram got a lot of discussion.
Zhou Zhou runs a tufting studio in Tianhe, Guangzhou. According to her observation, tufting became popular in Asia at the beginning of last year, and Koreans first smelled the business opportunities of opening tufting workshops. Subsequently, this trend blew into China last September and became popular in new first-and second-tier cities such as Hangzhou and Wenzhou.
Guangdong's first tufting shop opened in Shantou. In Zhou Zhou's view, compared with the first-tier cities, the weekend leisure activities in second-and third-tier cities are relatively less abundant, which gives room for the birth of handicraft workshops. However, with the increasing popularity of tufting, she feels that she can start a business in Guangzhou. After several months of planning, the store in Zhou Zhou opened at the beginning of this year.
According to her statistics, there are more than 30 tufting shops in Guangzhou, of which more than 20 have sprung up at the beginning of the year. Searching for "tufting" in public comments, not only Guangzhou, but also Beijing, Shanghai and other cities can find hundreds. Articles are not necessarily the number of shops, but mostly products, but it is enough to show that tufting is becoming the new favorite of domestic handicraft lovers.
20-30-year-old women, college students, white-collar workers and male clients usually come with their girlfriends-this is Zhou Zhou's description of users.
In the cold winter, it seems difficult for girls to resist the furry and warm manual activities of finished products. More importantly, tufting cuts the consumer psychology that young people need to cure-the epidemic has been repeated for more than two years, and everyone needs to release pressure too much.
With the help of the principle of tufting decompression, it is similar to the once popular The Secret Garden color filling. A person who provides consulting services for fashion and consumer brands analyzes interface news. Psychologically speaking, manual creative activities such as painting can relieve the pressure, but many people don't know how to draw and what to draw. Filling in a picture album is equivalent to providing manuscripts. People don't need to think about how to draw, just fill in colors.
The same is true of tufting. Choose your favorite logo, cartoon image or picture, give it to the merchant, and then project it on the cloth. You can start to stroke according to the pattern, and choose your favorite wool ball color to start "popping". After the pattern is stamped, the steps of sealing glue, priming and edge sealing can be done by yourself or by the store.
"When you concentrate, you will put all your attention into it and forget the outside world. This is also one of the ways to reduce anxiety. " The analyst said that the black and white line drawing of the secret garden is very detailed and needs people to fill it out carefully. However, because everyone has never been exposed to tufting before, novices need to operate carefully, so they will devote themselves wholeheartedly and forget their troubles.
In addition, the secret garden and tufting have reserved some creative space. For example, everyone can fill in the colors according to the color matching, or add their own names or special symbols, which can largely satisfy the pleasure and sense of accomplishment brought by "creation". When you print out the finished product with keywords such as "tying men and tying women" and "anything can be tufted" on social media and get a lot of praise, your inner sense of accomplishment will be stronger.
