There are many interesting andentertaining techniques. From the land of the rising sun, the art of creating kanzashi marshmallows came to us. They can be seen in hair, on wedding dresses as decoration and in other everyday things. Our master class will teach you how to make such a product without being a professional in such needlework.
Basically, in this case they use naturalsilk fabric. If you don’t have such fabric, organza or grosgrain or satin ribbons are perfect. If you are new to this business, it is better to start training with satin ribbons. They are easily exposed to fire, practical and pliable. To them, you can add decorative material, such as beads, sequins and beads.






Let's try to make a master class (mk) of kanzashi marshmallows. Our lesson will consist of photos and videos that will help beginning craftsmen master this entertaining process.

Master class on creating marshmallows


Marshmallow kanzashi, represents a flower,which is airy and cake-like. Our master class (mk) will show in detail how to make petals from satin ribbons for fluffy marshmallows. At the end of the lesson, we will demonstrate a training video.
Now let’s decide what accessories we need, namely:

  • Satin ribbon of any colors;
  • Fire lighters or candles;
  • needle;
  • thread;
  • Sharp scissors.

You can take a few tapes, with a length of 1 or1.5 m or other length, for example, 2 or 2.5 m. The length depends on how well you twist the tape to create a marshmallow kanzashi. If desired, you can not cut the satin ribbon into segments, but simply unwind it in the course of work.
The master class (mk) begins with the fact that we unwind two colored ribbons and attach them to each other from the wrong side, using the fire of a lighter or a candle.


Decide for yourself which side you want the design to be on. This determines where the pattern will be located.
Place the tape on the right side where it iscommissure. The main material, which has a width of 2.5 cm, measure it so that the length is about 5.5 cm. For ribbons having a width of 5 cm, you need to measure 10.5 cm. We begin to bend the right corner approximately 90 degrees. Bend it again and you will get an isosceles triangle of satin ribbons. Look at the photo gallery located below the text. Wrap the remaining tail back.
We don’t stop, but continue to work and make kanzashi marshmallows. Take a needle and thread and sew on the corner that is on the right side.
Take the part of the tape located on the left side and begin to bend, maintaining ninety degrees. Our material is folded closer to the top, and the lower part is leveled.





With your right hand, wrap the ribbon from the left side to the opposite side, maintaining the same ninety degrees.



We are approaching the completion of the petal. Take the ribbon and wrap it on the right side, pass it between the petals. We should have a composition like the one in the photo.
Using a thread, secure another triangle created from ribbons in the same way as the previous one.


Our actions move to the left sidepetal Bend it at an angle of 90 degrees, and wrap the main part towards the top. Again ninety degrees, in this way, you move to the opposite side of the tape.



To achieve the shape of an isosceles triangle, bend the tape so that it appears near the created petal. After this, you will get the shape shown in the photo.


Secure this accordion with a thread.And continue to do the steps described above in the text. There should be 16 such bends. By making a smaller number than indicated, you risk making the wrong marshmallow.

You can cut off the unnecessary tape remainingafter work and douse with fire. Pull the petals together with a thread. Put everything together that you have achieved and you can consider the master class (mk) complete. Turn the craft right side out and straighten the petals. You have got kanzashi marshmallows of the required volume.





This marshmallow is suitable for both hair decoration and clothing decoration. In the video you can see the detailed process.

This master class (m), will teach you to do a little, a different marshmallow, which is used mainly for gums and hairpins. Take, both satin and reps tape. They should be a width of 2.5 cm.

To carry out the work, the following accessories are needed:

  • tape;
  • Setochka;
  • material for decoration;
  • clasp;
  • A bezel or an elastic band;
  • Fire from a candle or lighters;
  • sharp scissors;
  • Needle with a thread;
  • glue.

We start wrapping the material. And then all this with a fire from a cigarette lighter or a candle.

Turn it inside out and wrap the current onematerial. From the photo you can see how to do this. Leave the end of the future petal untouched so that some elements can be hidden in it. Hold the tape with your fingers.




Bend the end and sew so that it does not interfere with making kanzashi. Bend the tape and sew its edges with a few stitches.



Additionally, make another turn. Place the tape on the right side and bend it at an angle of 45 degrees. Make sure that the line coincides with the first turn. Turn the tape down and back to the left side.



Continue folding the base material like thisshown in the photo of our master class. Your ribbons should go to the right side. The red stripe marks the clamping locations. Now, we have a new bend, which we brought to the right side.
We begin to sew the corners. This is done in the form of an accordion, the next edge is attached to the previous one.
Look how it looks in the photo with four folds and with several at once.



After you have done all the steps correctly, you need to leave a small edge and sew it with the last curl. We got such a ring.




The edges must be hidden using glue. An underside was formed with the end closed from view. Unwrap the marshmallow
. In the center, attach a mesh-shaped decoration and sew the marshmallow to a hoop, hairpin or elastic band. At your discretion.








This educational master class is completely completed. This DIY product will delight your daughter because it will look great on her hair.
