The first step is to draw a pattern on a piece of white paper, which is then placed on a plantain leaf. A thick board is now placed under the paper, and the three are stapled together. The next step is to carve out the unwanted part, after which the leaf is turned upside down and colorful flowers and leaves are attached to build up the beauty and mood of the picture.
設計好的圖樣先畫在白紙上，再把紙樣放在芭蕉葉上，最下面放一張厚紙板，然後用釘書機將三者固定，用美工刀把不需要的部份刻空，刻好的蕉葉翻過來，在鏤空的部位，黏貼上最能表現圖案意境和美感的各色樹葉或花瓣。
