Assalamualaikum and Hi people!

#DESTAR MAKING

so, for this time I will dive into deep more about the fabric usage and the material to make the Destar :)

so , get your pencil and notepad to jot down the material need :

okay, so firstly of course you need to have the fabric such as Songket, Broked and Velvet which is commonly been used in the making of Destar according to the occasion. 

1) Fabric

songket / broked

DO YOU KNOW?

Brocade is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silks and with or without gold and silver threads. 

The name, related to the same root as the word "broccoli", comes from Italian broccato meaning "embossed cloth", originally past participle of the verb broccare "to stud, set with nails", from brocco, "small nail", from Latin broccus, "projecting, pointed".

Brocade is typically woven on a draw loom. It is a supplementary weft technique; that is, the ornamental brocading is produced by a supplementary, non-structural, weft in addition to the standard weft that holds the warp threads together. The purpose of this is to give the appearance that the weave actually was embroidered on.

In Guatemala, brocade is the most popular technique used to decorate fabric woven by Maya weavers on backstrap looms.

Ornamental features in brocade are emphasized and wrought as additions to the main fabric, sometimes stiffening it, though more frequently producing on its face the effect of low relief. 

In some, but not all, brocades, these additions present a distinctive appearance on the back of the material where the supplementary weft or floating threads of the brocaded or broached parts hang in loose groups or are clipped away.

When the weft is floating on the back, this is known as a continuous brocade; the supplementary weft runs from selvage to selvage. The yarns are cut away in cutwork and broche. Also, a discontinuous brocade is where the supplementary yarn is only woven in the patterned areas.

and .........

Songket is a fabric that belongs to the brocade family of textiles of Indonesia, Malaysia and BruneiIt is hand-woven in silk or cotton, and intricately patterned with gold or silver threads.

The metallic threads stand out against the background cloth to create a shimmering effect. In the weaving process the metallic threads are inserted in between the silk or cotton weft (latitudinal) threads in a technique called supplementary weave.

Next, you need to have Needle to tie the fabric with the oil paper together. make sure that your needle is sharp!

like a shark teeth!! 

grrooarr...

2) Needle 

okay , the 3rd things that you need to have is the oil paper. The oil paper is use as the mole that located inside the fabric to make it easier when the fabric folded into the shape and perform nice structure that hold the fabric and the paper itself to be stand strongly onto the head as a headgear.

3) Oil Paper

Rather than oil paper, you still can also use the paper that is thick and hard surface to make it easier when it fold with the fabric. The oil paper will be attach to the fabric by using the needle.
