ENHANCING /DECORATING FINISHED PRODUCTS

1.Importance of enhancing/decorating bamboo, wood, and metal products
1.1Finished products tend to be more saleable to customers when enhanced and decorated.
1.2Enhanced and decorated finished products help maintain their durability to harsh elements.
1.3. Finished products that are enhanced or decorated beautify the product itself.
2. Methods of enhancing/decorating bamboo, wood, and metal products
2.1 Woodcraft and bamboo craft can be enhanced using a variety of methods and techniques.
These include:
Woodturning is a process of using a lathe to make various forms and shapes of wood.
Hand carving is considered a woodcraft in which a sharp object is used to create designs on the wood. Various
textures and surfaces can be created using this technique. Tools such as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are used.
Pyrography is considered an art using a fire or heat to decorate wood or leather.
Flocking technique lines the interior of drawers and boxers with a soft velvety finish.
Inlaying combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative pieces in to a base object to incorporate
new designs on the original product.
Gilding is considered as a decorative technique in which powder is applied on wood or other materials to give a
thin coating of gold. Methods of this technique include gluing, chemical gilding, and electroplating.
Staining is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture. This may come in two varieties. First, pigment-based
stain will color large pores of the wood, while dye-based stain color small pores of the wood.
Painting is considered the simplest way of decorating wood since there is a variety of colors that you can choose
from.
One may also add a lacquer finish to make it more shiny and glossy.

2.2 Metal craft Enhancing Techniques

The following are some techniques used to enhance or add design elements on metal products.
Engraving is a method of transferring a design on metal using a hardened steel tool called burin or graver to cut
into the surface of the metal.
Etching is a process used to make designs or pictures on a metal plate by using acid that produces corrosive
action.
In modern manufacturing, strong chemicals are used on other types of material.
Adding metal enhancing media such as metal paints, copic markers and antiquing kits give color to the metal
product.
Metal paints may be applied using a brush or spray.
Texturing and embossing – In this technique you will need hammers, metal stamps, stencils, and other materials
to create imprints on the metal. Though there are new technologies used to emboss a metal with different textures, a
hammer and nail can still be used to create your own design.

IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1)
Effects of innovative finishing materials and creative accessories on the marketability of finished
products

You must have a deep knowledge of your product and the products of your competitor entrepreneurs so that
you will always strive to be different and unique. People tend to get bored or not interested in buying the same products
without innovations. You must know the strengths and weaknesses of your products.

A product is only expected to be saleable at a certain period of time but this could be prevented if some
strategies and methods will be applied in enhancing and decorating products. You must never stop inventing new and
better ways to enhance our products for the business to keep going. You have to deliver quality and marketable
products for the satisfaction of your customers.

Enhancing bamboo, wood, metal, and other finished products through sketching, shading and
outlining

A good design must be enhanced more to be attractive to customers. As you have learned the techniques in
sketching, outlining, and shading, you will now be able to apply these in enhancing your finished products.

Sketching- It is a freehand drawing on the surface of the product.

Shading - Creating shades of lights and dark patterns in a composition or

design, thus creating illusion s of space and distance.

Outlining - A drawing in which the contours of a product are seen,

thus emphasizing the shape of a design.

The different types of innovation that you are likely to run across include
product, process, supply chain and marketing.

Enhancing and Decorating Finished Products. Study the words below.

Enhance - to refine, improved, or enrich the surface of the

products Decorate -to make more beautiful
Market Trends- the extent of demand for product
Innovative- something new, creative, or invented
Marketability- the ease of selling a product; demand
for the product.
Accessories- something that contributes to the
beauty Pressure- force applied to something
Splint- broken chip in wood

7 Reasons that businesses should incorporate to remain innovative.

1. Creative Development – Qualities of innovative nature are essential for new businesses today. You can achieve
growth by learning how to be creative. You need to learn this business skill to help make things of value from your
creativeness. When you have this business skill you will find that it opens up all kinds of opportunities and gives you the
potential for a new market and helps you to keep up with the current trends.
2. Continuous Improvement – Innovation gives organizational sustainability when you are making continual
improvements and repackaging and re-branding. Any good manager will recognize the need to innovate and grows the
business skills to increase their creativity.

3. Reinforce Your Brand – Development branding is popular in organizational leadership. This process reveals
information to help leaders to learn other ways to be more innovative. It is important because it is recognized as one of
the main drivers for success. It gives organizational sustainability such as brand maintenance.

4. Making the Most of What You Have Already – It is not all about creating a new product or service which you can sell,
but you also need to focus on your existing business procedures to improve your efficiency, find some new customers,
increase your profits and cut down on the amount of your waste. When you are continually innovating and improving on
the practices of your business you will likely also attract better staff and keep more of your existing staff. This is
detrimental to the health and performance of your business in the long-term.

5. Responding to Competition and Trends – Innovation can help you to see what exists now in opportunities or which
ones will likely pop up in the near future. Businesses which are successful don’t only respond to the current needs of
their customers, but usually predict the future trends and come up with an idea, service or product that can meet the
future demand quickly and effectively. In this way you can stay ahead of your competition as trends, technology or
markets shift.

6. Having a Unique Selling Point – Generally, consumers will see innovation as something which adds value to products
or a company. When this is used the right way, it can give you an advantage commercially, especially in a market that is
saturated or shifting rapidly. It can get your more positive exposure in the media and your customers will be more
willing to pay the extra money for something that is well-designed and new, rather than picking the less exciting and
cheaper rival.
