Step 1: Prepare materials (wild pineapple seeds (provided by Shanyuyuan)) and tools (scissors, needle-nosed pliers, meat cleaver, triangular file, small sharp knife, iron wire (made of paper clips)).
Step 2: Start cleaning (pay attention to safety and protect your trotters), cut off the tail fiber with scissors, and you can see a little bit of red after cutting. This is the first time to see a little bit of red, and continue to refuel.
Step 3: Cut off the head of the seed with scissors, which means beheading and cleaning the head. After cutting, the petals were buried inside, and the treasure hunt began.
Step 4: Peel off the skin of the fruit with needle-nosed pliers, clamp the edge skin, and peel it down with rotary pliers. It is also like a thorn ball, but you can vaguely see some petals, but you still can't see the red petals.
Step 5: Clean the fiber with scissors again, but you still can't see the real body of the lotus. Looking at the flowers in the fog, the Mona Lisa is in a hurry, which is so talented.
Step 6: Put a meat cleaver on it. Carve it down from the tip of the petal with a meat cleaver so that you can see the first touch of red. Be sure to be safe. This is for playing with knives.
Step 7: Start carving the tips of petals with a carving knife. Some people like sharp, some people like convex, some people like separated petals, and some people like the shape of flower buds. These are all repaired according to the basic shape of specific seeds. Everything is repaired according to the seed type, according to the type in your heart. This process is very critical. In short, it is a test of the cutting skills of the meat cleaver. The key is to cut the knife on the inclined plane.
Step 8: Don't repair the skirt. After the petal tip is polished, it is a little basic, and then the lower part of the triangular file will be polished. First, skirts, some people like to have skirts, some people like to have no skirts, and whether skirts are red or not is related to the maturity of seeds. The skirt with high maturity is red, and the skirt with low maturity is white. Now, the skirt will be polished off, and the petals will be basically intact after polishing. The key to this part of grinding is triangular file technology. First, use the blade to cut the knife from the boundary line of two petals (straight file method) and grind off the split skirts on both sides of the petals until they are close to the petals. You can file back and forth alternately from top to bottom and from bottom to top. After the double-sided file is leveled, the protruding skirt position should be repaired by angle file. Angle filing method is to polish at a certain angle and adjust the angle according to the specific shape.
Step 9: Find out how to mend the skirt. The method of repairing the skirt is slightly different from that of not repairing the skirt. We need not only a file but also a meat cleaver here. First, roughly remove the epidermis with a meat cleaver, then use a file to grind off all the remaining white fiber layers around the skirt until it is smooth or red, and then use a meat cleaver to repair the inside of the skirt. Pay attention to diagonal carving.
Step 10: Repair the base with a file and smooth the bottom so that the lotus can stand firm. Pay attention to balance. This is also the key to straightening. If the base is not well ground, the lotus will lean to one side and look bad when placed.
Step 11: Clean the hole with a meat cutter, a small sharp knife and iron wire. Depending on the degree of polishing and carving, some holes are directly opened, and some need to be carved with a carving knife. Then gently rotate the hole with a small sharp knife or a hand twist drill (be careful that the tip of the petal will be accidentally broken, so be light, or your intestines will regret it), then use iron wire to pass through it and change the direction up and down until all the nuts and fibers in the hole are cleaned and pulled out.
Step 12: You have finished. You can show your achievements.
Due to the subtle differences of trees and different environmental conditions, different colors are caused, such as purple, dark red, light red, red with white skirt and full red with mature skirt. Wild pineapples used to be medicinal materials, but only in recent years have they been excavated to play as bodhi.
