| Abstract |
Oguong Sibling (OS) is a handicraft
made from recycled paper such as old
newspapers and magazines. The rolling
and assembling technique of the recycled
paper makes this craft unique which
makes it looks glamourous and elegant as
if made of wood, bamboo or rattan.
Although OS is produced from recycled
paper rolls, it is durable and designed
to withstand water splashes and humidity
as waterproofing material is applied on
its surface. OS is suitable for
decoration and souvenirs that showcase
the Borneo’s native musical instrument.
It can be used as a 'trademark' of local
produce. Product cost is low and it has
high potential for commercialization.
The making of this craft is suitable to
be taught to the disabled and
housewives. It helps them to be
economically self-sufficient. In
addition, this craft responds to the
world’s green policy to save the earth. |
