On light hair, these flowers will look gentle, but with dark hair they will create a contrast and chicly decorate the hairstyle. You can also watch a video with a detailed story about the process of creating this hair clip. To create such flowers, not much effort and skill is required, and no more than two meters of material are spent, so this hair clip is available to almost all willing craftswomen. This master class describes in detail the process of creating each detail, follow the steps below and you will get a unique hair decoration.Of course, the color of the product can be changed to your favoritecolors, but the technique for creating parts and assembling the product will remain the same as described below. When choosing a color, be guided not only by the shade of your hair, but also by your seasonal wardrobe, so on the eve of autumn, the colors can be changed to coffee and gold or red and orange, etc. To create a kanzashi hair clip, you will need:

Step one: creating blanks.Each petal in the kanzashi technique is created from a piece of a certain size. For these round petals, you will need square blanks, the side size of which is equal to the width of the ribbon. That is, we divide the white tape into 5 by 5 cm, and the blue ribbon is cut into squares of 4 by 4 cm or 5 by 5 cm, if you have prepared a wide ribbon.Step two: form the petals for the flower.Each detail from which the flowers are assembled has the appearance of an irregular rounded petal. To create such an element, you will need two blanks - one white and one in blue. Fold the white square along a diagonal line, from the upper right corner towards the lower left.We perform a similar manipulation with the elementblue and turn this part into a triangle. We put both blanks on top of each other, but the lower white part should protrude 1 mm above the blue triangle.The next step in creating the petal is tosharp corners to the lower right angle to form a rhombus. But do not try to make the angle at the top, when bending the edges leave a small gap, it will determine the visibility of all layers of the part.Now we need to work with the burner.Using a hot tool, all layers of the blanks are soldered and the final appearance of the two-layer petal is formed. Place a metal ruler 1-2 mm from the edge, strictly parallel to the lower side lines. Draw a straight line under the ruler with a wood burner. The line should be drawn with a little pressure so that all layers of the satin are soldered. On the other side, do the same procedure and cut off the uneven edges. As a result, you should get white and blue petals like these:The lower tier of the flower consists of six identicalelements that are carefully glued along the edge of each part, that is, a thin line is fixed on the sides. The second layer is formed by similar petals, but their creation will require smaller petals, which are created from the same 5 cm blanks, but a little more millimeters are cut from each edge. The second petals are moistened with glue along the edge, the edges are slightly bent back and the elements are fixed above the lower petals. So one petal of the second row is glued to the 1st and 2nd elements of the lower tier, the other is glued to the 3rd and 4th petals and the last third is located with edges in the center of the 5th and 6th parts. Thus, there will be 6 parts on the lower tier, and the petals of the upper tier are combined in pairs and the middle consists of three elements. Three identical flowers are formed, which are glued together in the form of a triangle. The flowers are fixed quite easily, because their petals have geometrically correct edges of the same size, and they fit together perfectly, like pieces of a picture (puzzle). The middle of each flower is ennobled with a pearl, without this accent the flower loses its beauty. Step three: form the petals for the branches. The branches are formed from simple single-layer sharp petals. To create them, you will need square blanks of blue color. The parameters of the cuts are 4 by 4 cm. Fold the blank into a triangle using the same principle as the previous elements were folded.The second fold goes through the center, that is, from the right angle to the middle of the opposite side. When folded again, a triangle in four layers is formed.Then the last central bend is created, which determines the appearance of the sharp petal.Using a wood burner, cut off the bottom of the piece (hold the satin with an iron ruler). Create three petals for each branch of the product.Glue two petals together at the sides at the bottom, and the third will be located in the center of the branch.Apply glue to the base of the third petal andPlace it immediately into the gap between the first elements, then clamp this petal between the two elements to create a neat little branch.Glue the branches into the gaps between each pair.flowers, that is, you will need three branches in total. Try to fix the parts with glue carefully, without leaving traces of excess glue on the surface of the satin. Apply rhinestones over the fixing points, which are attached with a drop of glue.Turn the work over and glue it on this side.a round base made of white or blue fabric. If you decide to decorate your clothes with such a flower, you won't need a base, but for a hair clip or headband, this intermediate detail is necessary, because the back side of the flowers has a ribbed appearance and it will be very difficult to stick a clip on the longitudinal lines of the petals. Place the hair clip in such a way that it is convenient for you to attach it to your hair. The clip should not protrude beyond the edges of the product.A charming hairpin in kanzashi technique was createdwith your own hands. It took about two hours to create it, but the result is unique. Wear the hairpin on weekdays and holidays, for any mood!
