Bamboo Leather is a flexible bio-material alternative to leather and is made from cellulose nanofibrils spun by Kombucha. This material grows thicker over time and can become paper thin or leather-like. While the Bamboo is deep in water, natural curing process to prevent the insect and remove the Bamboo cellulose which can be obtained from the culm of the bamboo. The cellulose, holocellulose, and lignin content are compared with other lignocellulosic fibers from the different parts of bamboo.
Collecting bamboo steam water (also consist cellulose)
Boiling the steam water and add sugar as bamboo has cellulose content it will need less sugar compared to the other material
straining the bamboo water and making it cold to the normal room temperature
after the water is at normal temperature add Kombucha

Many different batches can be made through one mother bacteria
