Long well-groomed hair is the beauty of any woman. And the hairstyle will look even more attractive if some stylish accessories are used to decorate it. In this article, we pay attention to the subject that almost every woman with long hair has - a fashionable rim.
Hair ornament
The word "kanzashi" in Japan is a traditional hair ornament. Initially, it was a hairpin with flowers that were made from small pieces of silk. Over time, this technique has spread to other products. Today, a common hair clip is the kanzashi headbands, a masterclass for the manufacture of which offers several options for this jewelry. With skillful manufacturing, it will look stylish and perfectly complement the image.
Types of Kanzashi Headbands
You can make different kanzashi rims. The master class will help to master several basic types.
- With one small flower located on one side.
- With one large complex flower also attached to the side.
- With two or three identical flowers on the side.
- With one large flower located in the center and descending to the ends of the rim.
- With small identical flowers located throughout the rim.
In addition, these flowers can be made with ribbons of the same color or several and decorated with ordinary beads or semiprecious stones.
All flowers are made from petals made using the same technology. The size of the petal depends on the side of the square from which it is made.
This will be the bezel made using the kanzashi technique. A master class, a photo with step-by-step instructions will help to do the job correctly. Also, before performing work on decorating the rim, it is advisable to master the technique of making kanzashi petals so that the work looks neat.
Bezel "Fir-tree"
Satin ribbon is the main material that is used when the kanzashi rim is made. The master class gives step-by-step instructions for completing this work.
For this craft, we will prepare the following materials: scissors, tweezers, a lighter, a 5 cm wide satin ribbon , hot glue.
At the first stage, we will prepare pieces of tape of the right size. For this, we cut 19 squares from it. We also make the basis for the Christmas tree: cut 14 cm from a piece of ribbon, grease with glue and fold in half; after 5 minutes we cut a triangle from this workpiece and go through the edges with a lighter.
At the next stage, from the prepared squares, we form the kanzashi petals. This is done as follows: fold the square diagonally three times in half; divide the bend place into three parts, mark the bottom point and cut it in a straight line from it to the corner; we pass the lighter along the cut line and quickly glue this edge. We turn what turned out on the other side to hide the seam.
Now we prepare the petals prepared in this way on the base, starting with the crown. We place the first petal point up, the rest down.
When the Christmas tree is ready, glue it to the rim previously decorated with the same satin ribbon. It remains to decorate the crown of the Christmas tree at your discretion (bead, flower, ribbon, pebble). If desired, you can cover the crafts with glitter gel. So our kanzashi rim is ready, the master class for which is quite simple. Such a rim perfectly complements the New Year's outfit. The young fashionista will look great in him.
Double ribbon weaving
If you like the kanzashi technique, weaving the rim (a master class will allow you to do a very nice thing, which can be used both daily and for special occasions, if you add some catchy elements to the decoration) - a great opportunity to master it.
For weaving, we take two ribbons of the same width, glue and the rim itself. Ribbons should be in contrasting colors, so weaving will be better visible.
At the first stage of work, you need to fix the loops on the ends of the tapes. Smear the glue on the wrong side of the tip of the ribbon and make a loop. Take the second tape, thread it into the loop, apply glue and fold.
We turn the ribbons face to us and start weaving. To do this, fold the tape in half and thread it in a loop, tighten. We take the second tape, also fold it in half, thread it through the loop again, tighten it. Thus we weave the ribbon to the length that is needed. Then we take the bezel, smear it with glue and glue the resulting weave.
Thus, the rim is woven using the kanzashi technique. The master class shows what a wonderful decoration the result is.
Funny snake
A master class will help to complete such a snake. Kanzashi (braiding the rim - an interesting way to decorate a familiar accessory) allows you to create very different, but always attractive products. For this decoration you will need a rim (1 cm wide), glue, two ribbons of pink and lilac color (6 mm wide) and a half meters long.
We start weaving with a pink ribbon, cut a piece of 2 cm and glue it to the end of the rim. Glue the tape of the second (lilac) color at a slight angle on the pink from the outside at a distance of 3-4 cm. We bend the long end and glue it at the top. Now we take a pink ribbon and glue also a little diagonally inside on a purple ribbon. We bend to the outside on top of the lilac.
We fix the end of the rim: we wrap the remaining piece of lilac ribbon on the inside and glue it. Let's make one more turn and glue it again on the inside.
We wrap the pink ribbon inward obliquely under the lilac. We do overlap on the outside: pink always goes under the lilac.
We pass in this way the entire rim, the second end is the same as the first.
In the same way, the wider rims of Kanzash are braided. The master class offers to do such work to prepare longer ribbons.
