Learn to make a ribbon hair clip with your own hands - a detailed master class from a professional
A delicate composition of satin ribbons can decorateclip or hairpin. Such an original flower in pink and white tones is perfect for a little baby or a fair-haired girl. Amazingly, petals are created with your own hands from ribbons using the kanzashi technique, which merge into a single floral composition.To create a decoration in a pink palette, prepare:
The decoration is created in several stages –First, you need to create a flower, and then large petals from a thin ribbon for the upper part of the composition, the rest of the area is filled with round petals, which we will make in the third stage. For the petals of the main flower, you will need square blanks with sides of 4 cm. Cut them from bright and pale satin, 10 pieces of each color.
It is necessary to create a double petal, the core,which will be like a rounded kanzashi petal, and the outer layer is a sharp petal. For the inner layer, take the light pink blank and fold it diagonally.
The sharp corners of the satin element are brought to the bottom, where the right angle is located.
Bend the edges back, bending the piece strictly along the center line, and fix it in this position.
For the outer layer, take a bright blank. At the first stage, it is bent similarly obliquely, turning into a triangle shape.
Having visually marked the middle of the piece, fold it again so that the fabric is folded evenly into 4 layers.
The bright pink piece is placed around the light one. The pieces need to be positioned so that the sharp corner of the outer layer remains in line with the rounded part of the inner petal.
Press the base of the petal with a ruler so that all eight layers of fabric are fixed. Using a burner, cut off 2-3 mm from the base, welding all layers in a single seam.
Then, using a ruler, the lower part of the double petal is leveled. Using a careful movement, the lower folds are cut off using a burner.
If the bottom seam is correct and even, the petal will be freely positioned vertically. You will need 10 identical elements.
Glue 8 double petals onto a round piece of fabric with a diameter of about 1.5 cm.
The center of the flower needs to be decorated with another element. To hide the glue marks and add some effect.
Let's move on to the second stage, in whichLong tubular petals are created. For them, you will need 12 cm pieces of thin tape. Make three blanks in total, for one you can use a different shade.
Each element is folded across the center,The smooth satin side remains on the outside. Using a wood burner, you will need to cut off part of the part along the line from the outer corner to the opposite side, stepping back 3-4 mm from the edge.
Use a burner to fuse this seam very carefully, as the tubular petals often diverge at the soldering point.
Turn the petal out through the place where the cut line does not reach the corner of the piece.
As a basis for the whole decoration you will need:an oval piece of pink ribbon, 4 cm wide and slightly longer than the clip you choose. Glue the first tubular flower to one edge in the center, decorate it with rhinestones.
The second and third petals are glued near the central element, at an angle to each other.
Decorate the center of the parts with rhinestones. It is easier to apply glue to the rhinestones with a toothpick.
On the opposite edge of the oval base, the main eight-pointed flower is attached with glue.
The remaining space is filled with doubles.rounded petals, their number is difficult to predict in advance, since the size of the hairpins can be different. To create a white and pink petal, prepare 5 by 5 cm squares from white satin, and from pink ribbon you will need 4 cm square blanks.
Bend the large piece diagonally and smooth out the fold a little with your fingers.
Form a two-layer triangle from the pink part as well. The blanks are placed on top of each other (smaller on larger), leaving a gap of no more than 1 mm between the fold lines.
Bring the edges of the pieces to the bottom, forming a rhombus.
Bend the pieces by folding them along the center line.
The lower part is cut off with a heated burnerpetal. To create an even seam and weld multiple layers of satin, the movement of the hand with the tool must be clear, fast and with pressure on the tool. The second hand should fix the work with a tightly pressed ruler.
Press on the seam from the back of the part and drop a little hot glue into the resulting hole, then squeeze the petal.
Create several even, neat, rounded petals.
First, the petals are glued into the spaces between the petals of the main flower, but only on one side.
Then the second, third and subsequent rows are formed from rounded elements, depending on the size of the base.
The remaining two sharp double petals are glued to the sides of the flower to smooth out the transition in the composition from the narrow part to the wide one.
Turn the work over and use glue to secure the clip along the longitudinal line in the center of the base.
After 5 minutes, all the glue will dry completely and the decoration will be ready. This hairpin looks both delicate and chic. Wear it with pleasure!
