What is It

Our country is blessed with an abundant source of raw materials. These raw materials
turn into functional and beautiful products that our government and entrepreneurs in
most parts of our country (most especially rural communities) take advantage of to
generate livelihood. This abundance is most evident in our handicraft industry.
Handicraft manufacturing businesses continue to innovate in terms of design, quality
and materials but are consistent with one, the production process.

Production Process of Macramé and Basketry Products

In this lesson you will learn about the production process of macramé and basketry
products; in addition to that you will explore factors that helps the production process
smooth and efficient; produce good quality items. In macramé and basketry there are
four basic stages of production.

But first how do we understand the word production?

We can say that production can be compared to an infant gradually turning into
an adult. As humans we go through a process that helps us become the best that we
can be healthy, well-mannered, educated and be a productive member of society. The
same as producing an item or product that not only is pleasing to the eyes but functional
and of good quality.

Production - the method of turning raw materials or inputs into finished goods or
products in a manufacturing process.
3
Four Basic Stages of Production

1. Operation – are set of steps a raw


material goes through in the production
or creation of a product.

2. Assembly - the act of connecting


parts to make up a complete unit.

3. Finishing- the part in production


that involves final touches a product goes
through such as trimming, cleaning,
varnishing and polishing.

4. Inspection - involves checking or


testing of the product to make sure that
the operation has been carried out
correctly as to the established standards.

For production to run smoothly there are key elements needed to sustain it.
For instance, in humans, what do we need to survive and sustain ourselves? In
the context of our lesson we will explore these elements that help make
production possible.

Activity 2
Fill-in the Blanks. Choose the correct term from the box to complete the diagram
to reveal the words that makes for a successful production need. Write in the
blank spaces (circles) the correct answer.

Resources in the Production of Macramé and Basketry Products

Resources – are stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets
that can be drawn on by a person or organization to function effectively.

The four basic resources needed in


Macramé and Basketry production

1. Material resources - these are tangible, physical resources needed in the


creation of macramé and basketry products which are used for
production.

Some examples:

Raw
Materials
Tools/ (Abaca,
Equipment bamboo
and others)

2. Human resources - This is the set of the people who make up the
workforce of an organization, business sector, industry, or economy.

The most important resources in production. The production team goes


through ceaseless education and training for skills development.

3. Financial resources - the money available to a business for spending in


the form of cash, liquid securities, and credit lines.

It may be from the own personal wealth/money of the owner/s,


through a cooperative and bank loans.

5
Personal savings/ Savings/ Commercial Cooperatives/Lending
assets Banks Companies

4. Informational resources - It is the data and information used by an


organization.

The latest, valid, and complete information is vital to the success of producing
products; it has an impact in making plans, decisions, and implementation of
plans. A production team should know what, where and how the recent
technological developments can help ease production process.

Examples:

Books and
Trade fairs other
publications

Websites/
Webpages Manuals

Industry Social media


experts/
Resource
persons

Resources serves as the heart or building block of any production


process; each one has a vital role to play in any efficient and progressive
industry.

What I Have Learned

Macramé and basketry can be a form of self-expression to some or a means of


livelihood to many. But as you learn the complex skill and the resources needed to
sustain each project that you wish to do you will realize that it can be both. However,
one wish to use it; for livelihood or for an expression of their art, he/she must go
through a process that may be tedious but rewarding in most ways.

Activity 4
Answer briefly. Write at least 5 good values that you developed as a person
when you learn to work following a system or standard flow of production in
any form of work (example: school related work, housework) and explain its
importance in enhancing one’s personality. (10pts)

Operation Assembly Finishing Inspection

What is It
If you find macramé and basketry interesting, the process itself is stimulating
not only to the curious mind but also to the eager hands of those who love working
with their hands. Let us explore the long, tedious but interesting steps/ process of the
production of a bag made from pandan, basket made from rattan and macramé belt.

To get a clearer picture we will apply what we learned from the previous
module by synching these specific steps into four small group. Let us recall first
the basic or standard production process from your module 1 as a guide:

Operationon Assemblyy Finishingng Inspection

Now from these four basic production processes of macramé and basketry let
us go through the making of the following products:
A. Production process of native pandan bag in a small community setting

In a small barrio or barangay where production of goods made of leaves, the


production begins with harvesting of raw materials that grows abundantly in the
specific barrio or province. Like in this case the pandan leaves. Let us follow the
production with the use of a flowchart for easy understanding:

Harvesting 6 Adding

leaves) enclosures

5 Trimming/
Cleaning/ Twisting cleaning

3 4 9
Cutting Checking/
Dyeing Cataloging

1. Harvesting – to start the production fresh pandan leaves are harvested and gathered.

2. Cleaning/ washing/ drying – leaves are washed and sundried.

3. Dyeing – after drying the leaves it will go through the process of dyeing as per design/
color specification.

4. Cutting – cutting the leaves to a certain size is considered for a specific design of a
bag, mat, wallet and other products.

5. Twisting – this process adds texture and makes the material sturdy and ready for
weaving.

6. Weaving – the weaving technique they use varies depending on the design and
technique synonymous to a specific province or region.

7. Adding handles/ enclosures – most of the time enclosures or handles used are also
the same material (pandan leaves), but for the global market it may be made of metal
or wood depending on the design requirement.

8. Trimming – this process further enhances the aesthetic quality of the product
(trimming loose ends, polishing, varnishing, and cleaning).

9. Checking/cataloging items – the last part of the process checks the quality and
quantity of the finished product that may be missed from the initial inspection.
(handles, locks, zippers, button etc.).

Handwoven native bags are made in very standard shapes and sizes, some
unique to various parts of the world, and some look so much alike or unique that they
could have come from machines. Indeed, they are mass-produced objects but made by
hand. Such tedious creation goes down to the basic production process in macramé
and basketry. However long the process is they pass through similar process of
production. (See table).

B. Production process of rattan basket

The lowly basket as some would think is not that lowly anymore specially with the
emerging design innovations our craftsman and artisans do to highlight the importance
of reusable, earth friendly items we use to carry light to medium loads of goods. Most
designs now are very aesthetic that it deserves a place in our living room, lanai,
bathroom, or office to complete the ambiance a certain space.

Checking/

1. Harvesting – harvesting the vine like plant (certain guidelines is followed when
cutting rattan for a specific use, the age, size or diameter and other environmental
considerations).

2. Stripping – removing the bark, prickly hooks or whitish spines to expose the
smooth part of the trunk; a second process of stripping is done to create thin strips,
usually used for a specific design).

3. Cutting/ Resizing - cutting the thin strips to a certain length to adopt to the
number of weaving it will go thru and as per design requirement.

4. Soaking – the thin strips need to be soaked in water to make it more pliable.

5. Weaving - the weaving technique used for a rattan material may vary to meet the
desired size, strength and which part of the item is being worked on.

If the bottom of a basket is made of wood or a different material, it is shaped


first by cutting, the holes will be bored into its sides to accommodate the cord or strips
of rattan in the weaving process.
If the basket has a lid it will done in the same manner as the body of the
basket or as per design specification.
Handles if any, needs to be strong, durable and attractive; other types of
attachments may be evident in this part.

4
6. Trimming – when the item is almost finished excess rattan strips is cut-off
or inserted in crevices in the item to tidy and balance the entire look of the
finished product. Polishing, varnishing may be done in this part.

7. Checking/ cataloging items - the last part of the process checks the quality and
quantity of the finished product that may be missed from the initial inspection.
(handles, edges, sturdiness).

The craft that is basket weaving is a sacred tradition in most of our provinces
in the Philippines. Basket weaving has played a crucial role in the lives of our
modern and native people; it showcases the character and vitality of a specific
province or community. The table below identifies which part of the process in rattan
basket making falls under a specific production process in macramé and basketry.
(See table).

C. Production of Basic Macramé Belts

Anybody who has a knack for unique products made by hand, someone who can
work neatly with cotton cords, and someone fond of crafty work will embrace
Macramé. Beginners marvel at how therapeutic the craft is, and a bonus is most
materials used in macramé is not expensive. To recall the previous lessons in Basketry
and Macramé one can make all sorts of things by knotting, this includes plant
hangers, furniture, and fashion accessories such as jewelry and belts. Belts by itself
are a very simple and very impressive macramé project to make.

Measuring/
Cutting

1. Measuring/ Cutting - cords into lengths as per design requirement.


Before starting any macramé project, a design is already chosen and
considered to lessen errors and waste of resources.
Usually cords for belts are in single color or for a more playful design, a
combination of two to three color of cords is combined.
2. Grouping – cords are sorted (with the help of a metal/ wooden buckle or ring)
by knotting into several section as per design requirement.
At the start of a belt project in macramé usually a metal or wooden buckle
or ring may be used to group the cords uniformly at the top part, later this will
serve as the one element used to secure or tighten the belt at the waist or hips and
it will make the process easier because it will serve as the anchor of the whole
length of the belt.

3. Knotting - it may be a combination of 2 to 4 types of knots depending on the


design (recall and apply past lessons in Knotting Techniques).
Some seasoned macramé enthusiasts string wooden beads on the belt in
between the knots to further improve the design.

5
4. Trimming - excess cord hanging from the end of the belt and tightening loose
knot if any. (strength and wearability test may be done in this step).

5. Checking/ cataloging – items undergo final checking for quality and quantity
(design, durability).
Macramé patterns and knots are an easy and affordable craft to learn. It
requires very few tools and just some simple knowledge of basic knots. The process
is simple because most tools and cords are readily available for use. (See table
below) .

What I Have Learned


Macramé and basketry can be a form of self-expression to some or a means of
livelihood to many. But as you learn the complex skill and the resources needed to
sustain each project that you wish to do you will realize that it can be both. However,
one wish to use it; for livelihood or art, he/she have to go through a process that
may be tedious but definitely rewarding in most ways.

What is It

Anybody will agree that writing a proposal for a school project or in any setting
for that matter, can be challenging and just as time-consuming as making the
project. As life lessons will tell us, if we follow the gold standard (or even go beyond), a
good outline, you will not have to reinvent the wheel. Almost all proposals – in any
setting, whether for professional business projects or school projects – some factors will
always be a must or constant. Once you learn the style, you will be ahead of the class.

It is always impossible that you will “not” be required to work on a school


project; you will have to do a school project for a lot of reasons, most of them are
fortunately valid. This might take the form of a research or a project, something
tangible. Some projects might involve only a book research, with no action on your
part other than a report and poster or other visual demonstration. But some
subjects like science or any skill/technical related ones the project requires
some background research, visual demonstration, and actual experimentation then
finally a tangible output.

Project Proposal for Macramé and Basketry Products

What is a project proposal?


What is inside a project proposal?
Why do you need a project proposal?
How to Write a Project Proposal?

Let us go through the checklist to prepare for the task ahead:

What is a project proposal?

A project proposal - is the initial document used to define the objectives


and requirements of a project (in any setting: school-for a class/ section,
business-for a company/ client).

A prerequisite to achieve success in whatever project you plan to do.


Also called a “statement of work”.

What is inside a project proposal?

1. The origin of the project.


2. The concept of the project.
3. Significance of the specific project idea.
4. What you want to accomplish (objectives).
5. Explanation of the objectives.
6. Plans for achieving the objective.
7. List of activities or tasks.
8. How much will be spent for the whole process.

Why do you need a project proposal?

• Validity of the project is evident once it has been approved.


***by the teacher or school head in a school setting


It will get everyone on the team thinking about the same goals and
priorities.
*** in any production team, like minded members most likely will
produce a good quality product.


It serves as a way for a team to know when they need to make
adjustment (design), decisions or budget adjustments.
*** opens the production team to examine errors and correct it before
moving to the much complex part of production
*** possibility of improving is greater
*** the likelihood of accomplishing the task on or before the desired date

How to Write a Project Proposal?

First you should know the format and parts of a project proposal. Despite
the fact that many different formats are available, roughly 80-90% of all project
proposals follow a similar template. Much complex format/ component is found in
a different setting like for businesses and government agencies. They mostly
have the same structure which contains a few key points.

4
Parts of a Project Proposal

B. Rationale
A. Title

F.
C. Objectives
Budget

E. Project &
Organization D. Design
Management

Parts of a Project Proposal in Detail

A. Title – this is the name of the project, the team,


and members of the team, it includes the date and
image or illustration of the project.

• The title should be clear and precise, there is no room for cuteness
when choosing a title for a project proposal.
• Think of your title as a summary of the content of the proposal.
• A good title should paint a quick picture for the reader of the key
point(s) of your project.
• The words you use in your title should clearly reflect the focus of your
proposal.

B. Rationale – this is a brief description of the


project, guidelines to carry out the project and
the supposed end-result of the project.

• Requires the reasons or logic behind your choice of project.


• Do not just say what you’ve done – explain why you’ve done it.
• Explain the choices you have made.
• Show the clarity of your thinking, the benefits of your solution,
and ultimately your plan to help sell your idea and product.

5
C. Objectives – this is the main goal or aim of the
project.

• Objectives should state your reason for proposing the project, list of
approach will you adopt to reach the desired goal, the time frame
that you and your team draft and where will the production of the
said project will take place.
• Use simple words.

D. Design and Illustration – this conveys the


design of the project (working drawings may be
included).

• An actual drawing or picture (prototype if using one) should be used,


It should contain the specifications like size/ dimension, color (if
any), other specific detail of the product to be made.

E. Project Organization and Management –


this describes how the project will be managed
from start to marketing and distribution. This
includes the work stages from planning to
production, division of tasks and duties of each
member of the team.

• Highlight the key elements of your project proposal by aligning with


the basic production process in macramé and basketry.
• It is ideal to use a chart to plot the project schedule.
• It would be helpful to have a clear picture of the structure of your
project team with a team organizational chart (the tasks and role of
each production team is clearly plotted).
• You may include project risk factors (absences, short of fund, delayed
delivery or other problems about raw materials etc.).

F. Budget – includes how much the whole


production cost from start to finish.

• Enumerate how and where that money will be spent.


• Expenditures may be itemized, summarized by category, activity,
etc..
• The use of charts will enhance the projects clear budget spending
and may spot impending budget shortage beforehand.

What I Have Learned

A project proposal is a significantly exhaustive task because there is a lot to


consider. You need to research, establish a purpose, create a team that agrees to
most of the concept of your project. Some school projects require you to come up with
a proposal that you can work on with a group (classmates) but how about if you
will pursue a project on your own; without a team to consult and work with. It is
most possible in a school setting, like what you will be tasked to do in the next few
weeks in our lesson.

The most significant person you need for your project to prosper is your
teacher. When your purpose is clear to h e r and you are able to present it well in
writing; the more you will value the fruit of your labor.

REFLECTI on

Activity 3
Answer briefly. When you are always driven with purpose or goal in your life, the kind
of work you do affects a lot of people. In the context of our lesson, give two instances
that will prove that you can be a positive force that will help the people around you.

What is It
Project Proposal for Macramé and Basketry Products

Anybody will agree that writing a proposal for a school project or in any setting
for that matter, can be challenging and just as time-consuming as making the
project. As life lessons will tell us, if we follow the gold standard (or even go beyond), a
good outline, you will not have to reinvent the wheel. Almost all proposals – in any
setting, whether for professional business projects or school projects – some factors will
always be a must or constant. Once you learn the style, you will be ahead of the class.

It is always impossible that you will “not” be required to work on a school


project; you will have to do a school project for a lot of reasons, most of them are
fortunately valid. This might take the form of a research or a project, something
tangible. Some projects might involve only a book research, with no action on your
part other than a report and poster or other visual demonstration. But some
subjects like science or any skill/technical related ones the project requires
some background research, visual demonstration, and actual experimentation then
finally a tangible output.

We previously learned the need for a project proposal, what it contains and how
to start writing one. Before proceeding to the actual task let us again define what it
is:
A project proposal – it is the initial document used to define the objectives and
requirements of a project

A prerequisite to achieve success in whatever project you plan to do. Also


called a “statement of work”.

Again, the first thing to take note of before starting to write is to know the parts or
components of a proposal:

Parts of a Project Proposal:


Title - talks about the title of the project, team name and individual member
names, date and image or illustration of the project.
Rationale – brief statement of the project, procedures employed to carry out the
project and the project outcome.

Objectives – talks about the goal or purpose of the project.


Design (Illustration) – shows the design of the project (working drawing may be
included).

3
Project Organization and Management – tells how the project will be handled. This
includes the task phases from planning to production, division of tasks and duties
of each member of the group.
Budget – includes how much the whole production cost from start to finish.

To make it clearer, here is a sample of a simple proposal:

SAMPLE PROJECT PROPOSAL

I. Title: Production of Marketable Macramé Plant Hanger

II. Rationale:
Macramé is the art of making knots, not the typical ones that we are familiar
with but decorative ones, each one serves its purpose to give the finished
product a distinctive character. Skillful artisans find it an advantage that
macramé requires only simple tools and materials yet produce a variety of
items like fashion accessories, home decors, hats, furniture and more.
This project will provide the opportunity for students to showcase their talents
and skills in knotting. To some very passionate about macramé and art, it can
be an outlet for self-expression. Aside from exploring the craft from this
experience, many can turn it into a source of livelihood or income generating
craft, which does not require many supplies or tools.

III. Objectives:
1. Be able to make a macramé plant hanger using cotton cords with a wooden rod.
2. Use ingenuity and creativity while working.
3. Develop patience, resourcefulness, and love for work.
4. Express creativity in promoting the product.
5. Maximize the use of techniques/ skills to come up with the best product within
a given time frame

IV. Design:

Proposed Design for


PLANT HANGER BASKET

Materials:

Rattan rod – 12”L x1 ½” diameter

4
Cream Colored Cotton Cord

Size: 8”Wx12”Lx36”H
(Width x Length x Height)
V. Project Organization and Management:

The following stages should be observed:

Stage 1 Adopt standardization techniques, workshop, and training for the


conduct of the project.

Stage 2 Production standard of macramé plant hanger basket (from


sourcing of raw materials, assembly, finishing to packaging)

• Assembly is putting all parts together to form final product.


• Finishing is done by cleaning, trimming, or varnishing (if specified) the final
product.
• Inspection makes sure that production has been done in the most

Tips before starting to write your own proposal:

• Make a thorough research about your design and the specific product you wish
to work on.

• Find out as much as you can about the project’s requirements before preparing
your proposal.

• Do not proceed with the tasks if you are unsure, it is always wise to have your
proposal notes checked and approved by your teacher. To guarantee an approval,
make sure you have come up with a practical, economical, and functional design
concept.

What I Have Learned

A project proposal is a significantly exhaustive task because there is a lot to


consider. You need a research, establish a purpose, create a team that agree to most of
the concept of your project.

The most significant factor you need for your project to prosper is your faith
in God, yourself, and your teacher. When your purpose is clear it will be easy to
convince anyone that your proposal is worth giving a shot.

Activity 3

Answer briefly. In at least three sentences give your thoughts about the statement
“The most significant factor you need for your life to prosper is your faith in God and
in yourself.” (10pts.)
