Kanzashi

It was with the kanzashi technique that my acquaintance with flowers from satin ribbons began. This technique came to us from Japan, Kansash decorate hairpins or hairpins.

Hairstyles for girls bloom with chic flowers, thanks to such hairpins. Due to the fashion in Kansashi, more and more needlewomen are mastering this completely uncomplicated technique.

In addition to the prepared materials mentioned above, take a ruler, crayon for patterns and a candle for singeing the ends.

Three types of leaflets are used in kanzashi: round, long and sharp.

• To get started, cut a satin ribbon 5 cm wide into squares, naturally the same.
• We take a square and put the corners to each other, as shown in the photo, and lower the extreme corners to the lower central corner.
• Then we move the side corners back and clamp with tweezers.
• If necessary, cut the lower cut and melt above the candle.
• Thus, a round petal is obtained, of which several pieces need to be made.
• We collect the finished petals on a thread, turn them into a flower and glue them on the base, in the middle we fix the bead with a glue gun.

Congratulations, with the first kanzashi flower!

I present to you several videos of master classes on how to make flowers from ribbons.

Melted petals

Another way to create flowers from ribbons is through melted petals. In this way, it’s good to make large compositions of flowers, for example, I made a basket with roses.

However, there are some nuances:

• Not all ribbons are well suited for such colors;
• Melted petals do not look as neat as kanzashi;
• It may not work right away, you need to "get your hand in it."

A more suitable material for creating these colors is nylon tape.

Instructions for manufacture.

• We make a pattern in the shape of a half heart, as shown in the photo;
• Next, cut out the petals of 7 pieces large, 7 pieces medium and as many small;
• The edges of each petal cut by you are melted above the candle; after this treatment, the petals become voluminous;
• We collect the petals on a thread in a checkerboard pattern, with a slight overlap, then the flower will be magnificent;
• We fasten the beads to the core.
• The flower is ready.
