Summary

In this tutorial, the presenter guides viewers on how to make eco-print ceramic cups using natural materials. The process involves preparing a ceramic cup, coating it, and using young teak leaves, fabric, and two different soaking solutions (tung oil and vinegar) to create prints. The leaves are carefully arranged on the cup and wrapped with fabric, then steamed for 60-90 minutes. The result is a beautiful eco-printed cup with varying leaf impressions depending on the solution used. Viewers are encouraged to let the cups dry fully before use.

Takeaways

• 😀 Prepare a ceramic mug with a coating for your eco-print project.
• 😀 You can purchase the coated ceramic mugs from online marketplaces like Tokopedia or other platforms, with prices ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 IDR.
• 😀 You’ll need fabric for the blanket, which can be new or used. This will help create the pattern for the eco-print.
• 😀 Young teak leaves, small in size, are recommended for their durability and beautiful color for eco-printing.
• 😀 You will also need water to soak the blanket fabric, approximately 200 ml for each solution.
• 😀 Prepare two different solutions: one with Tunjung or Irene and another with vinegar for varied eco-print effects.
• 😀 Soak the blanket fabric in the prepared solutions (Tunjung and vinegar) for about 5 minutes.
• 😀 After soaking, wring out the fabric and set it aside to use for the eco-printing process.
• 😀 Arrange the soaked leaves creatively on the ceramic mug and cover them with the fabric blanket, securing them with a tie or band.
• 😀 Place everything into a plastic bag, tightly seal it, and let the imprint set for about 60 to 90 minutes.
• 😀 After steaming, let the ceramic mug cool down for 1-2 days for the best results before using it.

The tutorial uses two different solutions: one made with Tunjung (or Irene) and the other with vinegar. Each solution affects the final print differently.

How long should the fabric be soaked in the solutions?

The fabric should be soaked for 5 minutes or longer in each solution to ensure it absorbs the necessary components for eco-printing.

What should I do after soaking the fabric in the solutions?

After soaking the fabric, it should be wrung out and set aside before proceeding to arrange the leaves on the mug.

How do you ensure the leaves stick to the mug during the eco-printing process?

The leaves are arranged on the mug, covered with the soaked fabric, and secured tightly with a rubber band or string. The mug is then placed in a plastic bag and sealed to ensure the leaves adhere properly.
