So, we take the tape and start making pieces of it three to four centimeters long. Next, we need to fold all the pieces and fix them separately on the ball.
We determine where the center is located on the workpiece and use needles to fix the segment as follows, as in the photo:
The next step is to fold it with your own handsone segment into a triangle and, taking two needles, attach it to the workpiece. In this case, the top of the triangular part should be in the center of the ball. Let's see how these actions look in the photo.
So for the first row we need to make four triangular parts. The fixation of triangles in the second row is already done in a checkerboard pattern.
In the photo you can see what the following rows look like:
In this way, we fasten all the triangular elements until you cover the entire artichoke ball with them.
As you work, carefully fold the pieces.tapes into triangles and sequentially fix them evenly on the ball blank. Each triangle should overlap the previous one so that the needle heads are not visible.
We continue to cover the entire ball step by step andcarefully close it in the final row. When finished, you can decorate the artichoke ball with a thin velvet ribbon, as shown in the photo.

Wedding bouquet of ribbons
The next product is one of the most importantAttributes for any bride. Often, wedding bouquets consist of natural flowers. But, recently, in view of the growing popularity of works made by themselves, the brides are trying to find an original approach to this or that wedding attribute. A bouquet of ribbons is just one of such original methods that will not go unnoticed at your wedding.
In order to make a bouquet of satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique, you need to prepare the following set of materials and tools:
satin ribbons of various shades, the width of which ranges from two to six centimeters;- Organza of white color (about ten centimeters wide);
- For decor choose beads in the tone of the ribbons;
- Pins, on the ends of which are already beads;
- glue;
- Newspaper;
- Lashing;
- A stick made of wood (diameter two cm, length - about 20 cm);
- Dense material;
- a thread;
- Needle;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- Ruler.
We begin the master class by preparing the base on which the wedding bouquet, consisting of roses and other flowers, will be attached.
To create a rounded base, use thistechnique: prepare a newspaper and form a ball with your hands, approximately ten cm in diameter. After that, it needs to be wrapped using twine. Do this carefully so that the ball does not lose its appearance. In the resulting ball, make a depression, where you can fix a wooden stick with glue. In this way, we made an element thanks to which brides can hold a wedding bouquet. After installing the handle, be sure to wait until the glue dries. The wooden stick itself is also wrapped with twine, on top of which a satin ribbon of the selected shade is then placed.
Having made the base for the wedding bouquet, at the next stage, the master class moves on to creating roses. In addition to roses, the bouquet will also include two more types of flowers.
To create a satin kanzashi rose, takeribbon of a suitable shade. You can create a single-color light wedding bouquet or choose a material of a contrasting color to make a bright product.
On a dense piece of the selected material,it is necessary to draw a circle, the diameter of which is equal to three to four centimeters. Each such circle is divided into cells, as in the photo. Next, the circle is cut out, and the cells are cut along one of the sides. After this, it must be sewn. Thus, we get a figure in the form of a cone.
Now, take a ribbon whose width is equal totwo centimeters, and bend its edge, and sew the square in the center of the resulting cone, as shown in the photo MK. The next step is to wrap the ribbon at the corner to the opposite corner and fix it with threads. The photo shows how to correctly carry out this process. Thus, you need to consistently repeat these steps, while the angle of rotation of the satin ribbon should increase. As a result, you will get the first type of kanzashi roses, from which the wedding bouquet will be made.
At the next stage, we make some more roses.First, fold the border of the ribbon (four to five centimeters wide) several times, as in the photo, three to four millimeters. The bent segment is folded in half relative to the width at a slight angle. The part that is bent will need to be folded at an angle of thirty degrees to the outside and wrapped around again. According to this scheme of actions, we continue to wrap the entire remaining part of the ribbon. After completing these actions, you need to sew the roses with your own hands. This will help all the rose petals to hold together as one whole.
Having made two types of kanzashi roses, we proceed to the preliminary assembly of the bouquet. We take the base and begin to fix the made ones on it
using decorative pins with beads.This will help to securely fix the roses and additionally decorate the wedding bouquet. Try to place the roses in equal intervals, observing relative symmetry. Fix the pins among the flowers, thus filling the resulting part of the space among the petals.
There are still some flowers left to make, which are somehowresemble chrysanthemums made of ribbons. These light and airy blanks are made of organza. Take a piece of this material, the width of which is seven centimeters, and the length is more than 300 cm. Fold it in half relative to the length. Make a seam along the folded side and pull the ribbon together. This easy method will help you quickly make a lush flower. Finishing the master class, attach it to the base in the empty space on the base of the bouquet.
In this rather simple way, with your own hands, you can make a beautiful wedding bouquet from satin ribbons for the bride, based on the kanzashi technique.

To make a decorative topiary tree with your own hands, prepare:
three satin ribbons of different colors, seven meters long and five centimeters wide;- One green tape (1.5 m in length and five cm in width);
- One brown tape (2 m in the din and one cm in width);
- Meter openwork ribbon;
- The workpiece on which the topiary will be made, namely a ball of foam;
- A branch that serves as a trunk;
- Plastic flowerpots;
- Hot glue, as well as special glue sticks;
- scissors;
- A lighter;
- Candle.
A ball of foam can be replaced by an analogue ofpapier mache. The technique of its creation is as follows: take six sheets of newspaper sheets, napkins, light threads, glue. From one of the newspaper sheets, form a ball with your hands, then wrap it in a subsequent sheet and so on until you collect a ball of all six newspaper pieces. Now, wrap the balloon with a thread. Next, we do with a scissors hole, grease with glue we fix the branch. Thus we get the barrel. The ball itself, it is necessary to cover with light napkins and leave to dry.
Next, the master class moves on to productionroses, which will cover the entire topiary tree. Take the tape and make fifty-centimeter-long pieces. The ends of the tape must be singed with a flame so that it does not crumble. Now, the tape needs to be placed face down and its upper corner folded over itself, as in the photo. Glue is applied along the edge of the tape and rolled into a tube in the fold area. This place is also fixed with glue. Next, the tape is folded away from itself (the angle should be equal to ninety degrees) and the core is wrapped. Thus, you will get the initial petal. According to this scheme of actions, we form petals along the entire length of the tape. The end of the tape is folded and fixed at the bottom of the flower. In total, you need to form about forty similar roses, from which the topiary will be folded.
In the next stage, the tree must acquirefoliage. Use green ribbon for this and cut out foliage from it. To create veins, fold the sheet in half and carefully draw the edges of the sheet over the candle.
Having made all the blanks, we begin to formthe topiary itself. Each rose must be fixed with glue to the ball. Try to alternate the colors of the roses. The leaf is glued with your own hands in random order among the flowers.
We take a flowerpot and install ours in it.tree. Fill the entire base with gypsum mortar and leave to dry. All that remains is to decorate the gypsum base with any decorative materials you have. This could be lace, beads, ribbon scraps, etc. That's it, the topiary with satin ribbons is ready. Such an original tree will delight you with its beauty all year round.
