Step-by-Step Guide to Reshaping

Step 1: Inspect and Prepare
Carefully examine the bamboo pendant light for existing shapes and joints.
Decide on a new design that complements the space or fulfills customer preferences.

Step 2: Soften the Bamboo
Use a steamer or place the bamboo in boiling water to soften its fibers.
Ensure uniform exposure to heat for flexibility without cracking.

Step 3: Shape the Bamboo
While the bamboo is warm and pliable, gently bend it into the desired shape.
Use molds or frames for precision, or create free-hand designs for organic shapes.
Secure the bamboo with clamps or ties to hold the shape as it cools and hardens.

Step 4: Smooth and Refine
Once set, sand rough edges or surfaces to ensure a polished finish.
Check for structural integrity and make adjustments if necessary.

Coat the reshaped pendant light with a protective varnish or natural oil to enhance durability.

Let it dry completely before installation or display.
