A lesson on creating an original summer bag decorated with flowers in Kansas technique

The best things are products createdwith your own hands. But sewing the base of the bag is half the work, to make it exquisite and unique it needs to be decorated in an original way. An inimitable pattern on the bag can be created from kanzashi flowers, in which petals are intertwined in various shapes, and an unusual pattern in several colors is born.This kind of work will take more than one day, becauseFirst you need to sew the bag, then plan the design, the next step is to create the petals, and only then decorate the bag with them. Each petal has its own creation technique, so you will have to work hard to reproduce a semblance of this design from satin elements.

To work required:

Sew the bag

First you need to cut out the bag on a piece of fabric.To do this, fold a thick linen fabric in half and draw two mutually perpendicular lines in the center that intersect in the center. Measure the height of the bag up and down from the intersection line. The size of this model is 40 cm wide and 35 cm high, but because of the top hem, you need to throw on 5 cm and measure 20 cm down from the intersection line, draw a horizontal line of the bottom of the product there and the same number of centimeters up. Mark the edge line of the product at the top point. In the next step, mark the lines of the right and left borders of the product. To do this, mark 20 cm in each direction on all three parallel horizontal cuts, then connect the lines, and as a result, you get a symmetrical rectangle, which will serve as the basis for the bag. Cut this part out in double form at once, since the fabric is folded in half. The resulting parts are the front and back sides of the future bag. To add volume to the product, you will need to sew a strip into the bottom of the bag. The size of this detail is 40 cm in length (plus 2 cm for seams) and 5 cm in width (plus 2 cm for grabbing the sides). Using a machine and dark threads to match the color of the fabric, stitch all the details together as follows: first, grab the side parts of the two large details. Then sew the strip into the bottom of the bag, the seam goes around and connects the bottom insert to the sides. Bend the top 5 cm on the product and iron it, the lining will be sewn to this place.Sew the cut out pieces for the handles in pairs,then they should be turned inside out so that the front side is outside. To fix the handles on the product, you will need another small strip, which is sewn across the fashionable bag and very securely fixes the straps.

Video tutorials Tutorial on creating flowers with roundpetals: A detailed guide to creating flowers with sharp petals: Now you can start decorating the front of the bag. Without petals and beads, the product looks ordinary and dull, but if you add a few touches of satin and pearls, the look of the bag changes dramatically.The basis of the design is five flowers, four of which are made in a similar way, and the fifth rose is twisted from a thin ribbon.To create flower petals, cut the ribbon into pieces measuring 4 x 4 cm, in accordance with the width of the tape.Each flower has six petals, they can be of one color, or combine several harmonious shades.Take the blank and bend it into a triangle,To do this, make a fold along the diagonal line of the part. Next, bring the sharp ends one by one to the lower angle of 90 degrees. After these folds, you should get a rhombus, the edges of which need to be connected with fire.To do this, a line is drawn with a burner undera metal ruler or the edge is clamped with tweezers and singed near the flame of a lighter. Video on creating a round petal For branches between flowers, sharp petals are used, in this example most of them are white. To create this element, take a white blank and bend it diagonally from one corner to another. Then the part is folded strictly along the center, turning into a triangle of four layers. The last fold line runs along the center of the right angle to the middle point of the base.The bottom of the part is soldered with a burner orfixed with a lighter flame, but the part is held not with fingers, but with iron tweezers. Video on creating sharp petals: It is quite difficult to determine the number of petals in advance, so create elements of one color or another as you work on decorating a woman's bag.All satin elements are fixed to the frontside of the linen bag using hot glue. This fixative does not leave marks and does not lose its properties after gentle washing of the product. Therefore, hand washing of the bag is quite possible. When all the elements in the form of flowers and twigs are glued, the final touch remains - creating a pearl painting. To do this, glue the half-beads to the empty spaces, observing the harmony of the composition. Try to lay out the twigs from the beads beyond the edge of the satin composition and slightly arrange the beads in the center of the picture. At the last stage, sew the cover into the bag according to its dimensions. You have a great bag that will suit both a dress and a long skirt, and will go well with jeans. From the remains of the fabric, you can sew a bracelet that will be decorated with ribbons and beads.
