How to make a unique oriental lily kanzashi with your own hands from a usual satin fabric. Description of the process of making an unusual flower
I think many of us noticed what beautiful anddelicate dresses are worn by women of the east, especially young girls in Japan. This wonderful and warlike people is famous not only for its samurai, but also for the culture of everyday life. I would like to tell you about the extraordinary hair ornament that came to us from Japan. Kanzashi - a traditional female hair ornament, consisting of living or artificial flowers, attached to a hair clip. At the heart of this decoration lie the traditional motifs of Japan, combined with the techniques of folk art origami. The most popular flowers were orchids, sakura flowers, lilies and roses. Over time, decorations with real flowers began to replace silk crafts In order to make a kanzash lily in the homeconditions, you will need: • Silk ribbon about 5-7 cm wide • PVA glue • Glue gun • Beads and glitter of different sizes • Sturdy fishing line • Candle • Semolina • Screen paper or strong cardboard • Felt base (approx. 2.5-3 cm) • Knife knife • Food color or colored pencils • Towel 1. In order to make a pattern for your lily, you first need to determine its size. To do this, you need to use a strong cardboard, it is needed for patterning the petals of a future flower. We draw on the cardboard a piece of petal about 7 cm long and 5 cm wide. 2. Cut out a knife with a knife from a silk ribbon, along a ready-made pattern, 17 petals. The edges of the petals are treated with hot wax. Hot candles can make wavy the future flower. 3. To make petals from the fabric seem more "alive", chop the lead of a colored (for your taste) pencil and rub these crumbs into the satin. You can also use food colors. 4. Now go to the central part of our lily. To make stamens, you need to cut the same pieces of fishing line, get them wet in glue, and then in sequins and allow to dry. 5. Smoothly go to the flower itself. On a small piece (about 2.5-3cm) of felt we glue the first row of petals of the lily. We wait while the glue dries. Then we glue the second row. The petals should be so dilated that they look more natural, and create a beautiful overall composition. 6. After the petals are firmly fixed with glue, you can form the central part of the flower. To do this, glue a few drops of hot glue into the middle of the lily and insert the stamens, while holding them a little while the glue does not solidify. A ready lily can be planted on an elastic band or a hairpin. If there is a desire, you can decorate with small transparent beads, creating the effect of dew. Such a fabulous oriental flower will be a pleasant gift for a woman or a girl, and also serve as an excellent decoration for clothes or accessories.
