Conclusion and Discussion
The conclusion of this research revealed the aroma vetiver grass which Srilanga line had obviously suitable properties for creation handicraft product owning to having a long of leaf with 80-120 centimeters, soft and shiny leaf, bring the leaf for using should have cut leaf apex about 20 centimeters because it had some small sharp thorns, the aims of boiling the leaves in boiled water mixed with some salts continually in 15-20 minutes for making vetiver grass leaves with soft, sticky and more white, rinse with 1 time as well as drying at the air for 1-2 days so as to be hardly moldy, the aims of weakening vetiver grass to make a straight line with equally and the span leaves of vetiver were braids on specific proportion The physical properties results had been explored, span braids vetiver fiber proportion had been measured about .73-0.15 Ne with standardized tread with various proportions due to spinning braids vetiver grass leaves process which using 3-5 vetiver grass lines and specifying physical measurement by craftsmen could not control the rotation force of spinning of each craftsmen therefore to the vetiver grass fibers had difference proportion, consequently they also had difference tightness and strength.The spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with the natural fibers had a highest tensile strength with range 5.35-6.06kilograms force, spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with the plastic fibers had a tensile strength with range 4.75-9.97kilograms force, as a results of mixing the spinning vetiver grass fiber together with the plastic fibers could be able increasing tensile strength more than a pure vetiver grass fiber and mixed with the natural fibers, besides the spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with a clear plastic rope had a lowest tensile strength because it was gauzy and the smallest size with average 0.55 Ne (Total weight [g] x 1,000/ Total length [m.]).For applying research results, being selective fiber type by consideration the physical properties in terms of strength, in terms of elongation as for handicraft products that could be supporting a heavy weight product or soft texture or using the colors from mixed fibers for beauty.For selecting the vetiver grass fibers from each properties, researcher had indicated 3 guidelines of vetiver grass handicraft product that were 1. Strength fiber could be used for supporting a heavy product such as a big bag, a seat cushion made from the vetiver grass fibers that could be more support a heavy product, which could be using the vetiver grass fiber mixed with a wire rope fiber or straw rope fiber.2. Using of elongation fiber could be used for requirement product of softness and elasticity likes pillow or cushion material that could be using the vetiver grass fiber mixed with wire rope fiber, SamiaRicini fiber or straw rope fiber.3. The usefulness from the colors of mixed fiber for beauty could be able used the spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with all other materials to create various handicraft products or product which not consideration for weight supporting due to having colorful colors, the vetiver grass fiber mixed with silk fiber could be able used as the small hardbacks or accessory items, as the silk fiber could express valuable feeling with the own material with related to Chomchalow, N. (2011), had said the vetiver grass had been an excellent material for handicraft due to the fiber form vetiver grass had been adhesive and durable thus it was suitable for handiwork.A campaign of expanding of the vetiver grass planting area for supporting the directly also indirectly usefulness of vetiver grass, the aforementioned also involved with Booth, D. & Nengah, A.A. (2003), had said the studying of the vetiver grass had been a part of school course and recommended the community had to knowledge about the vetiver grass also the promotion of the vetiver grass benefits in the local media as well as many usefulness to use the vetiver grass on other ways such as for roofing and handicraft Likewise, this research also related with Jongchansittho, P. (2014:2) had said, the handicraft emphasized to make by hand and to use local materials which was a valuable in both beauty and utility, it had a different pattern in each local area; in addition, it must take the afford to create that works, besides it could explain a local people lifestyle in each place, the handicraft could be classified by the characteristics such as categorized by material used: wooden craft, metal craft, categorized by production process: weaving and entwine and categorized by physical style: textile and pottery.These work creations were built and appear by people that call "handicraftsmen", having knowledge and skills which were descended from ancestor and pass on the knowledge to next generation to subsequent so that the knowledge was lived on, there by the native handicraft had been admired as the "creator" and "preceptor" concurrently.In addition, the vetiver grass fiber mixed with other materials process for product creation could be adjusted with suitable size for product, possibly, the spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with the other fibers could be brought to braid weaving or Macramé knotting technique which has a professional production and materials selection for the handicraft product, which related to Janatam, J., & Sikka, P. (2012:103) the research result revealed that the property of the most natural fibers is breakable if they are folded or bend, therefore fiber processing by weaving and spinning as a strand or braid in order to production forming due to the strand was made by braiding and spinning could be more consistence and could be formed easily in addition a beautiful product also related to Laowattanaphong, S. & Smanchat, S. (2012: 231) exhibited the research results of spinning fiber from the genus Musa and a natural fiber form hemp with spinning strand having the highest level of strength at 678.71 Newton which was used as material in furniture manufacturing by using a weave pattern from the wickerwork that presented the beautiful merging of two materials as well as increasing a strength into material for using in other product that could be able supporting weight effectively.In accordance with Soodsang, N. (2016: 179).conceptsgained from this research can be applied to wood and can be used for larger composition and dimension, more natural, increased natural adaptive technologies, mirroring the world in need of sustainment and relaxation from chaos.However, furniture design work should also reflect the special need of elderly people such as for the floor, rounded table corners, strong sofas, and light-weight furniture in moderate size to be movable by the elderly people themselves, independent of others.The growth of the furniture and accessories market also depends on other factors such as investment on various projects by the government sector, the government's policy to increase economic activity, the trust of the private sector of the government policy, real estate, condominium and townhome projects being launched, all are key elements in the development of different types of furniture designs.6. Suggestion 1) The experts on fiber had recommended about the vetiver grass fiber selection should select the spinning vetiver grass fiber mixed with cotton fiber, SamiaRicini fiber and silk fiber because they are a natural fiber, having a same property, especially they could be still having a beauty to fiber more than the synthetic fiber 2) Interm of the planting vetiver grass promotion in order that use into handicraft should be studying about the vetiver grass leaves quantity that having enough for product demand, if the quality of vetiver grass leaves are not sufficient, the growing more vetiver grass campaign should be promoted to respond the demand in further development.
3) In term of using the vetiver grass fiber into textile industrial development, the research result of vetiver grass fiber indicates that the vetiver grass fiber characteristics, such as the fineness, tenacity and elongation are similar to plant fiber that used in fabric weaving.Therefore, the studying of leaf fiber mixed with other plant fibers should be experimental which could be able reeling as a tread and bringing it into fabric weaving owning to a new fabric development of textile industry.4) In term of the process of vetiver grass processing in textile industry should be studying the production in the industry in order to create a new material into producing fabric, further develop to home decoration items and apparel products.
