Decorating a wedding celebration is one ofthe most important moments that deserve special attention. Nowadays, due to the popularity of handmade products, brides often create wedding decor with their own hands, involving their girlfriends in this process. In addition to the ceremonial decoration of the room, special attention is also paid to individual attributes. From this lesson, you will learn how to prepare original wedding decorations from satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique with your own hands, using the example of a bottle of champagne, a boutonniere, a basket (bag) and wedding glasses.

We decorate a bottle of champagne

The first master class will look at the designchampagne bottles with ribbons. Such weaving will not be difficult to repeat even for beginner needlewomen. In addition to a wedding celebration, such a decorative bottle can be presented for the New Year, birthday, etc.
So, to create a decoration for a bottle of champagne, prepare the following materials:

A satin ribbon of the chosen shade, about four meters in length;
Golden brocade tape (about two meters);
glue;
scissors;
A bottle of champagne.

Choose for work champagne framed inGold foil (it is better that the foil does not contain extraneous inscriptions). The required length of the tape is determined from its width. This master class uses a ribbon in 2.5 centimeters. If you have a narrower tape, please note that you will need it more.
Take the prepared bottle of champagne andMeasure the required length of the tape. To do this, apply the tape to the neck of the bottle and estimate the length for the initial turn. Next, cut the tape and put small dots of glue on it. Try not to overdo it, so that unnecessary excess glue does not form on the tape. The piece of tape coated with glue must be wrapped around the champagne. Please note that at this stage, you need to fix the tape in such a way that the paper label is hidden behind it.
The tape must be pulled tight so that its edgeslie flat and do not stick out. At the next stage, measure another piece of tape. Here, the length of the tapes will be greater, since the champagne bottle begins to expand from the neck. This piece also needs to be glued. Be sure to fix the ends of the tapes in strict order, based on the initial glued element. This way, you will get an even weave resembling a braid. In this master class, the right tape tip is at the top, and the left one is at the bottom, respectively. We continue weaving from tapes and add the next two pieces using the same technology.

Let's continue the master class and start decorating the bottlechampagne using a brocade ribbon. Keep in mind that using such ribbons as decoration can cause certain difficulties. After all, they have a fairly rigid structure and do not stretch well. The weaving itself is based on the previous technology. First, the ribbons are measured, after which they are cut and fixed with your own hands on a bottle of champagne.
The brocade ribbon is glued in two pieces.At this stage, the master class has come to the place of transition from the neck to the bottle. In the lower part, we will also make decoration with a gold brocade ribbon. We perform the same actions of measuring, cutting and gluing. In the process of fixing, the seam should be exactly in the center on the back side. To understand how to do such actions correctly, look at the photos that this master class is provided with.

Gradually our champagne levels outdiameter, and you can continue measuring out pieces of ribbons of the same length. Cut seven to eight pieces of ribbons of the length you need and use glue to fix them on the bottle, slightly stretching them. Wrap the ribbons around the champagne one on top of the other, overlapping (by half the width of the ribbons). This way, on the back side, you will get a beautiful seam and one empty area for a couple of layers. This seam must be glued so that our champagne decoration with ribbons has a presentable appearance. To do this, take a thin knife, with which you need to slightly lift the fixed ribbon.
Here, we need to free up space in which wefix the end of the ribbon. The photo shows how this process is done. Put a drop of glue on the end of the ribbon and place it in the freed place. Then the ribbon is completely coated (pay special attention to the edges) and pressed firmly with your hands to the seam. This way you can close a sloppy seam.

The master class is moving towards its conclusion.At the last stage, attach the final turns of ribbons. Simply cut off the protruding corners in the front part. That's all, the ribbon base is ready. Next, you can continue decorating and decorate the champagne bottle as you wish. In this work, you can use any available decorative material: beads, lace, etc.

We decorate the wedding glass

The next master class will look at the creationkanzashi flowers, which can be used to decorate wedding glasses. This unusual element will definitely attract admiring glances, because such decoration of a glass with ribbons by hand looks quite original.
If you master the kanzashi technique, you can easilymake a similar flower with your own hands. If you are a beginner needlewoman, pay attention to the photos that complement the master class, as well as the video, which is freely available on our website.
Nowadays, wedding events are often built on certain color combinations. Based on this, for example, you can choose the color of the ribbons for your glasses.
Decorating a glass begins with preparing a certain set of materials and tools. Prepare:

Satin ribbons of several shades (two widths of five and two - four centimeters);
soldering;
glue;
Rhinestones;
Glasses.

As usual, at the beginning to create elements in theKanzash technique, you need to make square sections of satin ribbons five to five centimeters by your own hands. Next, we take two blanks and make of them a petal of a circular shape. This is one of the basic types of Kansashe petals. How to properly do it you can see by watching a photo or video master class. It is necessary to bend the resulting triangular parts and put these elements one on another at a distance of one millimeter. Further, the corners bend closer to the middle of the base. After that, the work is turned around and the edges are folded.

Now the workpiece needs to be folded and removed.unnecessary parts using a soldering iron. As a result, you get a round petal. We make eight petals in this way and collect them into a flower. For these purposes, you can use a needle and thread or glue.

Let's move on to the next step and start doing itsmall kanzashi petals using the same technology. At the back, such elements are not bent, as in the previous case, but are glued among the petals of a large flower.
From two ribbons of the following shades, four by four centimeters, we make large round petals and connect them into a flower.

We finish the master class and decorate the glass. To do this, we tie a wreath on the glass with our own hands.
, fixing it with glue, and then glue the resulting kanzashi flower on top of it. As an additional decoration, such wedding glasses can be decorated with rhinestones.

Boutonniere own hands

Such delicious boutonniere can decorate wedding dresses, dresses or bags of bridesmaids.

To create such a boutonniere with your own handsprepare square pieces of five by five centimeters. From these elements, cut out drop-shaped details. For one kanzashi flower, prepare eighteen such petals. These petals need to be burned with a lighter or candle and stretched.

One flower for a boutonniere for a weddingconsists of four levels, three of which consist of five petals made of satin ribbons and one of three. The assembly of the first level begins with stringing the first petal on a needle and thread. Now the work needs to be pulled together and the thread secured. Next, another petal is strung. Again, we pull together and secure. And so on, we repeat these steps. Secure the petals in the lower tier with glue, so the flower will be well fixed inside the boutonniere.

Let's look at the intermediate stage.In the photo we see that our flower looks quite attractive. Nevertheless, we will continue the master class and create several more levels, simultaneously attaching them to the flower. The fourth level is assembled from three parts, as well as stamens, and is fixed on the flower. As a result, we get a flower that resembles a cup in its shape. In total, we make three flowers for the boutonniere.

Having made all the necessary elements, we begin assembly.boutonnieres. Take one flower, put a drop of glue on the side and attach the second one to it. Try the flowers on before gluing to understand how they will look best in the overall appearance of the boutonniere. Next, fix the third flower and connect it to the initial one. Place the flowers on a flat surface with the front side and glue them in a slightly suspended state. Try to do this quickly enough, without letting the glue dry.

Next, put a drop of glue in the center of the boutonniere andWe coat the cavities between the flowers with cotton wool. The boutonniere is almost ready. At this stage, you can add leaves, beads, rhinestones or other decor. After that, prepare a round base, for example, from a plastic box, cover it with a material of a suitable shade and glue the flowers. In the photo, we see what a chic boutonniere you can get using the kanzashi technique.

Basket of satin ribbons

The last master class is dedicated to making a unique basket or bag for a wedding based on soap and satin ribbons.
At first glance, this process may seem relatively complicated to you, but in fact, using the photo, you can repeat this process step by step with your own hands.
In your work you will need:

Soap (oval or round shape);
Tapes made of satin (0.5 centimeters wide);
Special pins, which are also called English.

As you probably already guessed the basis forOur basket or bag for the wedding will serve as a soap around which the whole decor will be built. We take pins and start inserting them into our base, as in the photo. Stepping back 0.5 centimeters, you need to stick four pins on opposite sides. Among them, at an equal distance, we fix the remaining ones. Do not stick the pins too deep. The photo shows how the soap with pins should look in the intermediate stage. Please note that at the bottom, the deviation from the edge will be more than 0.5 cm.

It's time for satin ribbons.To attach them, pull out one of the pins and insert it back, fixing the ribbon at the same time. To form a basket, carefully pass the ribbon from the bottom to the top among the pins. This weaving is done in the form of eights. Thus, we get the side of the basket. After this, we begin to make its edge. Having finished weaving the side part, the ribbon is not cut, but continues to weave the next pins.
It is possible to make winding in several layers,so the basket will have a more attractive appearance. Keep in mind that during the weaving process, the satin ribbons should cover the pins to hide them. To give the basket a more natural look, place the pins at equal intervals in the central part on the sides. After that, continue weaving along these additional elements similar to the method described above. The pins can be stuck not straight, but in waves.

Having finished the process of weaving a basket or bag,wedding, you can make a decoration for it. The handle is made of wire, which is wrapped with a ribbon. Then, it is bent and attached to the base. The middle of the base is decorated with ribbons, bows or any other decorative details you wish.
