Kanzashi is an amazing technique for creating flowers. This master class with photos shows the process of creating a rose from fabric. more precisely from satin ribbons.
Little children are adorable and it is for them that things are createdall the best. At a tender age, mothers decorate their dolls with huge flowers. The best choice is a headband with a huge rose, which you can make with your own hands from a satin ribbon. Such an accessory is not only unique and beautiful, but also preserves maternal care and the tenderness of gentle hands.To create a rose headband, prepare:
First, square patches are created from the tapeforms with a size of 5 cm on the side. You can cut the tape with scissors, but then you need to melt the edges with a lighter, otherwise they will fray and interfere with further manipulations. Another option is to put the tape on a glass (tiled) surface, measure the required 5 cm with a ruler and put the measuring tool perpendicular to the tape and draw a line with a wood burner, only slightly pressing on it. You will also need 4 cuts of 3 cm in length.To form a petal, each flap is foldedin half with a horizontal fold, that is, the edges of the tape remain at the top, and the cutting lines go to the right and left. A ruler is placed on the right side at an angle of approximately 45 degrees (it is not necessary to use a protractor, this manipulation can be done "by eye").The measured corner of the satin blank is cut offwith a wood burner (on a glass or tile surface, of course). Unfold the lower part of the part, and we get a blank of a pointed rose petal. Such a flower will be lush and voluminous.The next action with the element isforming folds in the lower edge of the workpiece. It is important to create symmetrical double folds here. First, visually divide the lower part in half and mark the middle on each half, that is, divide it into 4 parts. Bring the middle of the right part of the base to the center of the base, and bend the outer quarter back so that the front part of the satin looks at us. We do the same in the left part of the base.Press the bottom with a ruler and cut off 2-3 mmwith a heated burner or soldering iron. At this stage, it is important to solder all the layers into a single piece, and not to burn through the fabric. Therefore, the movements of the tool should be confident, with pressure and fairly fast. If you hold the soldering iron in one place for at least 1-2 seconds, the material around it will melt and a hole will form. When working with a burner on satin for the first time - first practice on unnecessary cuts.Create at least 40 of these elements.The more petals, the more lush and glamorous the rose will look. To create a flower bud, fold a three-centimeter blank from satin along an oblique line and twist the fold into a spiral, the lower part of the part must be coated with glue so that the bud does not fall apart.First, smaller petals are glued to the bud,which were created from 3 cm long pieces of tape. Using a toothpick, apply the adhesive mass to the very bottom of the petal and wrap it around the bud. This glue is quickly fixed, has no color or smell, so it is practically not noticeable at the base of the flower. The second petal is glued opposite the first in the same way. The third petal is glued from any side and, as it were, destroys the symmetry.From the side, the beautiful flower looks rather untidy, with traces of glue, but it is not noticeable when you look at the work from above.Next, proceed to fixing the remaining parts, which were created from 5 cm long flaps. They are glued with imprecise symmetry, but in a circle.The bottom of the large petals lies in the same plane as the small ones, and then the product will look like a real rose, in which only a bud opens in the middle, and the petals are the smallest in size.Having finished forming one row of petals,proceed to the next one, and then to the fourth, fifth, etc., until you get a flower of the desired size. Of course, it is necessary not to thicken the elements on one side, but to distribute them evenly around the circumference.This rose will decorate a baby headband,which is relevant for summer festive outfits. Lace acts as a headband. Fold it in half, put a ruler at a distance of 1-2 mm from the edge and solder the lace with a burner.Unfold the bandage and pull it slightly to check the seam, it should not creep.Cut a circle with a diameter ofapproximately as the base of the rose, that is, 4-5 cm and melt its edges with a lighter. Apply glue to the back of the rose and fix the flower on the bandage, on the other side of the lace put the prepared round base.This way the rough cured glue will remaininside the work, and only delicate satin and lace will touch the baby's head. A delicate headband will decorate a little princess on any holiday and will keep the warmth of caring mother's hands. After all, only things created with your own hands are unique.
