Volumetric Kanzashi flower master class, photo and description.
Kanzashi flowers are a Japanese floweran original hair decoration used by geishas. However, recently such decoration can be found quite often in the hairstyles of Slavic women. In this article, we will tell you in detail how to create a voluminous kanzashi flower with your own hands.
For our lesson you should purchase:
- quick-drying glue;
- beads, beads, strassics;
- tweezers (for convenience);
- ribbons made from any fabric;
- tape satin width of 3, 4, and 5 centimeters;
- hairpins, hair clips or "invisible" hairpins.
First, you need to cut squares from the material.
We fold all the squares along the diagonal line. The resulting triangle is folded in the middle twice.
The ends of the fabric must be trimmed and singecarefully over the flame, fastening the petals together. This way you will get a sharp petal. A row of such petals is collected on a thread with a needle and tied.
The second option for creating kanzashi is making rounded petals. We start similarly to the first method.
- You need to cut out a circle from the cardboard (you can replace it with buttons);
- it is necessary to wrap or glue the base with a cloth and then glue the flower to it.
Create 2 similar flowers: smaller and larger. Insert them into each other and carefully sew them together. We offer you another option for making a cute kanzashi flower.To create it, you will need the following materials and tools:
- scissors;
- a 100 cm long satin ribbon of any color;
- a piece of paper;
- a green satin ribbon equal in width to 50 millimeters and a length of 100 millimeters;
- thread and needle;
- pin, hairpin or hair dye;
- a candle or a lighter.
At your discretion, the following may be added to this list:
- a small piece of felt cloth;
- Glue gun;
- a few beads.
- prepare two lobes of the same size and add them as shown in the illustration. Then sew them with a suture forward the needle;
- we continue stitching in staggered order all six lobes;
- similarly we make two more rows of petals;
- we make stamens and insert them in the center into the hole, fix with a thread;
- all the rows are tightened and sewed together.
- we prepare a piece of a ribbon 100 mm long;
- singing its tips;
- we add and sew according to the illustration.
- cut out of a felt fabric circle;
- glue on it leaflets and a flower;
- glue to the felt pin.
We make a pattern for the petal.The illustrations can be used to determine the dimensions (50 millimeters long and 25 millimeters wide). The width at the base should be no more than 2.5 cells. Since the ribbon is 50 millimeters wide, the height of the petal should be smaller. Fold in half and cut out. The pattern is placed on the ribbon and the shape is cut out. Cut off the upper edge of the ribbon, for which you may need to lower the pattern a little lower. Note that the base of the petal has an edge.We cut out petals from the ribbon. To do this, the ribbon is folded and several petals are cut out at once. To make it more convenient, the ribbon is fastened with paper clips.
The pattern decreases by 50 millimeters with eachsides, excluding the base. After cutting out three groups of six petals, proceed to carefully burning the edges of each petal, but do not singe the lower edge. Next, give each petal a shape. To do this, carefully and briefly place the petal under the flame in order to bend it slightly. Assembling the flower.
