A lesson for beginners in creating hairpins with a flower of ribbons with round petals in Kansas technique

The fashion for satin flowers has come to our countryrelatively recently, but many craftswomen are already not inferior in technique to Japanese and Chinese women, who stood at the origins of the creation of the kanzashi technique. In this direction of craftsmanship, two types of petals are traditionally used: round and sharp, other interpretations appeared on their basis or were invented relatively recently.To learn how to make flowers from ribbons and fabricit is necessary to master the technique of creating at least one type of petals, and later, using different colors and textures of ribbons, you can create an infinite number of products. This master class describes in detail how to create round kanzashi petals and assemble a cute flower from them that will decorate a hair clip.

In order to create a hairpin with a flower Kanzash you will need:

You can study all stages of the work in detail by watching the video tutorial

Stages of work

The first step is to select the color of the ribbon,from which the flower will be created. Several colors can be combined in one product, but if you are interested in kanzashi flowers for the first time, it will be easier to choose one tone. The ribbon can be bright, pale, polka dotted, that is, any, as long as it suits your taste. It is important to note that the width for the first works should be larger, so it is optimal to choose a ribbon of 5 cm.The next step is to prepare the pieces forpetals. Each element is created from a satin square with sides of 5 cm. To do this, cut the tape into 5 cm pieces and burn the cut lines near the flame source so that they do not crumble during work. You can use special tools to create blanks, for example, cut the satin with hot scissors, then the edges will instantly melt, or take a ruler, apply it at the desired distance and draw the cut lines with a burner along the tape. In total, you will need seven blanks. Now we proceed to the process of bending the blank. These actions must be repeated carefully, observing not only the sequence of bends, but also trying not to shift the corners. The first bend is the easiest: you need to fold the blank along a diagonal oblique line.Next, you need to press the edges of the workpiece tothe lower right angle (it is more convenient to place the part with the first fold upwards, so that there are two right angles at the bottom). First one edge is folded, then the other, but there should not be a pronounced right angle at the top, so there should be a small distance between the two folded edges. At the next stage, you need to turn over the formed part so that the reverse side becomes the working side.Now you need to bend two opposite edges.The main thing is not to confuse the sides: the angle that is not sharp should point upwards, the right and left corners will need to be bent. During bending, the edge of the element is brought to the center line and fixed there. It is more convenient to bend first one side, and then the other.The given angles should only slightly touch in the central part of the workpiece. It is important not to bend a greater distance, otherwise the part will decrease in lateral dimensions.Now we form the last bend: it is necessary to bend the part in half so that all layers are fixed evenly, and the lines of the back bends are hidden inside.Fix the base of the petal with tweezers orwith a clothespin. Then the part should be placed on its side on a glass surface, pressed down with a ruler and a very hot burner should be used to cut off a line that will fuse all the layers and imprint the shape of the element. The cutting line runs parallel to the bottom edge and cuts off 1-2 mm, where all the layers of the satin converge.Slightly straighten the final petal at the top so that it turns into a rounded petal made using the kanzashi technique.On the back side of the part, a small melting line is clearly visible, which fixes the shape of the element.Create seven identical round petalsthe algorithm described above. Each detail should be as similar as possible to the others, if you are making a "rainbow" flower, then all the elements are created in different colors according to the given spectrum.After all the petals have been burned, it is necessaryapproach the assembly of the inflorescence. The flower will require a small round base, on which all the elements are fixed. Glue the first petal anywhere.All subsequent elements are gluedalternately to each other (in this case, not only the edge of the petal is smeared, but also its side part). For the convenience of creating a flower, the petals can first be sewn together, and then the flower can be turned over and a rounded base made of satin of the same color can be attached to its back side.The center of the flower is decorated with a special element - a large rhinestone. You can place a bead or another element that you have on hand in the center of the flower.Turn the work over and glue a clip, small hair clip or other hair decoration to this base.When the glue dries – the work is completeready. This hairpin can be used to tuck up a little girl's bangs or decorate the side parts of her hair. Every novice craftswoman will be able to repeat the work using this detailed master class.
