The kanzashi technique is often used ascreating original hair ornaments. Basically, all kinds of flowers are made from satin ribbons. Today we will talk about making wonderful butterflies, ladybugs and dragonflies with your own hands. There are many techniques based on which you can make such accessories. In kanzashi, the principle of composing products from pieces of ribbons is taken as a basis. Following the step-by-step MK, as well as photo and video examples, you will easily be able to repeat similar products after experienced needlewomen.
Butterfly Kanzashi
Before starting a master class (MK) on creating a butterfly kanzash, prepare the following materials and tools for work:
for the upper wings: satin ribbons 10 centimeters long (five centimeters wide) – 5x5 cm and 2.5x2.5 cm;- For the lower wings: 5x5 cm tapes - several shades and 2.5X2.5 cm;
- For the tail of a butterfly: tape 2,5X2, 5 cm;
- Needle;
- a thread;
- Rhinestones;
- beads;
- beads;
- Pins;
- Rondeli;
- A lighter;
- tweezers;
- lace;
- glue.
Butterfly Kanzash will be created from smallPieces of tape. At the beginning. We take a small piece and chop it together with the second one. These details need to bend the shape of the airplane, as in the photo and grab the bottom of the needle. We do this to avoid divergence of the seam. Next, in the place of the cut, it is necessary to paste a rhinestone to keep the borders. If you do not have a rhinestone in place, you can skip this step and when adding elements, simply hold the stitches with your fingers. We scorch the bottom part and squeeze our own seam. In the end, we get the next element, as in the photo. Now, it is necessary to fold flat, squeeze with tweezers and trim. To determine the amount of tape to be trimmed, fold it as follows, as shown in the photo or video:
The lower part is cut and scorched.If you did not use a rhinestone, simply press the seam along the bottom with your hands so that it does not come apart. Next, the first of the wings should be applied in such a way as to determine the amount of material to be cut from the second.
We continue the master class and form a petal with a fold. There should be 3 similar folds for subsequent insertion of the petal.
Please note that you need to glue a small onepetal in the middle of the petal with a fold. Glue is applied to the bottom of the part, after which the fold is expanded and the petal is carefully inserted inside. The next step is to glue the petal with the fold into the large element. Glue is applied to the seam so that it is on the bottom side of the seam and a little on the side parts. Do this carefully so that you do not have excess glue. In the place where the petals begin, it is necessary to fix the rhinestone.
At the bottom, we make round petalsforms. If you are not familiar with the technique of their creation, the video MK will tell you how it is done. You can make them triple and fix the rhinestone on the finished element. At the next stage, the master class moves on to creating a tail.
You need to take a needle and thread and stitch itblanks at equal intervals. Note that the butterfly wings located at the top must be pierced and all three parts must be captured. The needle is pulled out in the center of the tail, a bead is put on and goes in the opposite direction. Then the process must be tightened and three knots must be made. At the bottom, in the area of collecting the butterfly wings, apply a drop of glue to capture all the wings and smooth them out.
Now our butterfly needs to get a body.Take a pin and string one small bead, a rondel, another large bead, a cap, and five beads on it. Do the same with the next pin. Then insert the first and second pins into the rondel, string a large bead, a rondel, and beads along the entire remaining length of the pin. The ends must be rounded off using round-nose pliers. As a result, you should have a butterfly body, as in the photo.
In the center of the wings, carefully glue the created body.
The thread is pulled out from the bottom of that rondel,which is on top. We make a circle around it and bring out the thread on the lower part of the other side. Thus, you need to hide the thread between the rondel and the bead. Similarly, we bring out the thread on the second rondel.
The remaining ends of the threads are tied with three knots.
We take lace, in the center of which there should be noholes. The folds are straightened out, and the kanzashi butterfly is glued to this material. After that, each of the wings is fixed to the lace. An elastic band or other special fastening is sewn on the bottom, depending on what your butterfly will serve as: a hairpin, a decorative element on a bandage or hoop, etc.
This concludes the master class.Such a delightful butterfly can also be made from satin ribbons of contrasting shades. Experiment, make your butterflies in an original and unique style. Video tutorials at the end of the article will show you more options on how to make butterflies from satin ribbons.

Dragonfly
Another option for a hairpin is the dragonfly kanzashi.
We will need:
- Ribbons of a suitable shade;
- A lighter or a candle;
- The base for the barrette;
- beads;
- glue.
The master class begins, as usual with slicingSatin ribbons on squares. From belts of white color it is necessary to make the petals of the round form. Next, the square workpiece bends obliquely. The next step, you need to wrap the sharp corners of the formed triangular figure in the middle of the right angle. We take the resulting element and connect it along the center line. Unnecessary delete. Places of slices must be scorched with a candle or lighters. As a result, you should get a round petal, from which the wings of the dragonfly Kanzash will be formed. In total for the wings you need to make four petals.
Next, the dragonfly must acquire a body.To create the body, we create a petal of a sharp shape. The square segment is folded in half several times. The corner is cut off and singe with a lighter. Thus, we get a detail for the dragonfly's body. In total, we create three blanks. The round petals are joined together using glue. You can see this process in the photo. Then, using glue, attach the dragonfly's wings to the base of the hair clip. The sharp-shaped elements are placed on top, thus creating the dragonfly's body and covering the area where the rounded petals join. All that remains is to decorate the dragonfly with beads with your own hands.
This is the kind of wonderful dragonfly you should get.

ladybug
The final master class (MK) is dedicated to creating a ladybug made of ribbons.
This ladybug is made quickly and easily. One of the longest processes is fixing the rhinestones on the ribbons. So, to make it, prepare:
- Satin ribbon (from four to six centimeters in width);
- Small rhinestones of black color;
- A narrow satin ribbon (six millimeters);
- Beads;
- Super glue;
- Glue gun;
- Thick thread.
Ladybird from ribbons begins with creationA petal of the acute form of Kanzash, which must then be scorched and unscrewed. It turns out one wing. In total, we make two such inverted elements. Next, prepare a narrow ribbon, fold one piece, scorch and make your own head for the ladybug with your own hands. The tail is made from the second segment. With the help of hot glue we fix the petals-wings with each other. After that, we glue the head and antennae. Antennae are made from two pieces of thread, the length of which is equal to one centimeter. It remains to attach the tail and paste the rhinestones on the wings.
This ladybug will look great as a hairpin or brooch. Just choose a special fastener for it.
A few more video tutorials will show you how to create similar crafts using the kanzashi technique in an interesting style.
