Even a novice needlewoman can make a unique thing with her own hands if she carefully studies the material in this article on mastering the kanzashi technique. Here we will tell you in detail about all the details of this process.First, let's define what it is"kanzashi". This Japanese word has no literal translation. It is generally accepted that it is formed from two separate words: "kami" and "sasu". The first word in translation means "hair", and the second is read from Japanese as "to stick". Thus, it can be understood that kanzashi are various decorations for women's hairstyles. However, in reality, this term is understood as a type of art, the essence of which lies in the creation of all kinds of accessories from ribbons, beads and other elements. Today, this technique is used to create decorations not only for hair, but also for things, home interiors, and so on. Where to start? For beginner craftswomen, we do not recommend taking on the creation of something complex right away. First, we advise mastering the easiest parts to make. What do you need for work?
Here is a list of the most common oneselements for working in the kanzashi technique. Here they are: 1. Multi-colored ribbons. Experienced needlewomen use ribbons made of satin fabric, crepe satin, organza. The first of the named materials is the most acceptable, since it can be easily melted without deforming a large surface area. 2. A ruler and pencil for working with fabric. 3. Scissors, which must be very sharp. 4. A candle or a lighter to process the edge of the ribbons. 5. Glue. Just not PVA. It is better to choose a type that is intended for working with fabrics and has greater adhesive power. You can use Moment glue. And it is even better to work with a glue gun. 6. Multi-colored threads. 7. Thin needles. 8. Tweezers or tweezers with which you will grab the petals of future flowers. 9. Decor: beads, sequins, rhinestones and more. 10. You may need hairspray to fix the desired shape of the petal. 11. Depending on how you decide to make the product, you can stock up on elastic bands, hairpins, headbands and so on.
Next we offer you a simplemaster class on making a headband with a flower using the kanzashi technique. To create such a product, take: a ribbon made of satin fabric of your favorite color (width - three centimeters); a regular thin hoop; a candle; a large stone or bead; rhinestones; scissors; glue (gun). So, let's get started.
1.First, cut small pieces of ribbon, the length of which will be six - seven centimeters. You will determine their number yourself, but keep in mind that the more petals you create, the more lush your flower will be. 2. Take 1 piece and fold it into two equal parts lengthwise. 3. Next, take one piece and fold it into two equal parts so that the wrong side is in the middle. Cut one edge with scissors along a diagonal line. Then clamp this edge with tweezers and process it with a candle flame so that the edges are connected to each other. 4. Place the petal with the front side facing you. The free edge located at the bottom must be folded to the center, taken with tweezers and singe with a candle. 5. Create all the other petals in the same way.
6.Then, cut 2 or 3 circles out of the tape. 7. Connect the resulting circles together and flame-treat the edges, while connecting these elements to each other. Place the blank on a smooth surface, then attach the petals to it. 8. Use a glue gun to attach the petals in a circle to the very edge of the template. 9. When making the 2nd circle, the petals should be positioned so that their tips are between the edges located underneath them. 10. Create another final circle in the same way. There will most likely be no room in the center. 11. Attach a bead or a stone to the center. 12. Decorate the edges of the petals with rhinestones. 13. Wrap the hoop with tape and attach its edges with glue. 14. Attach our flower to the side.
