Process of Making Spun Bamboo Handicrafts
Spun bamboo products represent a blend of nature, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, reflecting the artisan’s skill and the timeless beauty of bamboo. Below is our detailed, step-by-step process of making high-quality spun bamboo products, ensuring durability, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability.
11 Step Process of Making Spun Bamboo Handicrafts – Sustainable & Elegant From Nature to Art:
1. Choose the Raw Material
The first step in Process of Making Spun Bamboo Handicrafts. We start by selecting mature, solid bamboo with few knots and a beautiful natural color. The bamboo is then soaked in water for several days to weeks to remove sap and increase flexibility. After soaking, the bamboo is dried naturally in the sun, avoiding strong sunlight to prevent cracking. To protect against termites, we use either smoking or a Borax/Boric salt solution.
2. Soak in Water (3-4 Months)
Step 2 in the production Process of Making Spun Bamboo The bamboo is soaked in water for 3-4 months to further remove sap and improve its flexibility. This process ensures that the bamboo is prepared for the next steps and ready for shaping.
3. Dry in the Sun for 7 Days
Once soaked, the bamboo is sun-dried for up to 7 days to stabilize its moisture content. This step helps prevent the bamboo from warping and prepares it for the next stages of the manufacturing process.
4. Split into Small Laths
The bamboo is then split into small laths lengthwise, typically 1-3 mm thick. The laths are smoothed with sandpaper to create an even surface, free of splinters or rough edges.
5. Making Product Shapes
Once the bamboo laths are ready, the next step is to shape the product according to the desired design. The bamboo is softened by soaking or steaming, making it easier to bend and shape. The softened bamboo is then placed in molds and secured with wires or clamps until it takes its final shape.
6. Smoothing the Surface (First Round)
After shaping, the bamboo is sanded to smooth out any rough spots and create a flawless surface. Fine sandpaper (typically 400–600 grit) is used to ensure the bamboo surface is even and ready for further treatment.
7. Rub Stone – Powder Mix with Glue on the Surface
Once the surface is smooth, a mixture of stone powder and glue is applied to fill in any small pores or imperfections on the bamboo. This step enhances the bamboo’s durability and gives it a refined finish.

8. Smoothing the Surface (Second Round)
After the stone powder mixture has dried, the bamboo undergoes a second round of smoothing. This process involves using fine sandpaper again to ensure a perfectly even surface, removing any excess mixture and preparing the bamboo for painting.
9. Painting as Customer Requirement
The next step in Process of Making Spun Bamboo is painting the bamboo according to the customer’s specifications. The bamboo can be hand-painted with intricate designs, or finished with colored lacquer. We can also use special techniques such as eggshell inlay, gold leaf, silver leaf, or bamboo pen drawing. After each coat of paint, the product is left to dry and then lightly sanded before applying the next layer.
10. Quality Check, Stamping, and Packaging
Once the painting process is complete, the product undergoes a final quality check to ensure it meets all design and finish requirements. After passing the inspection, each product is stamped with our brand logo for authenticity. Finally, the bamboo products are packed carefully using protective materials to ensure they arrive safely at their destination.
11. Loading to Container – Ready to Serve
The final step Process of Making Spun Bamboo Handicrafts, involves loading the products into shipping containers. The bamboo products are securely packed to prevent any damage during transport. Once the container is sealed, the products are ready to serve, waiting to be delivered to customers around the world.
