Jewelry has a special role in creating a feminine look, since even a minor detail of the toilet can completely change the impression. Jewelry for kanzashi hair looks spectacular - flowers from satin ribbons, which will be discussed in this article.
Painstaking and time-consuming is the creation of flowers in the kanzashi style, the manufacture of the petals of which requires patience and utmost concentration. If you are creating this kind of jewelry for the first time, it will be more convenient for you to make petals from satin ribbons, and not from fabric.
Kanzashi petals vary in shape and are spiky, rounded and multi-layered. The basis for a product of any shape will be a square of tape.
How to make a kanzashi petal? Very simple, just have enough patience, free time and the following materials:
- colored satin ribbons;
- scissors, needle, thread in the color of ribbons;
- colorless glue for fabrics, and better - a glue gun;
- tweezers;
- safety pins;
- candle or lighter.
The pointy petals of kanzashi are easiest to make. To do this, fold the square of the fabric diagonally, fold the resulting triangle in half, and get a multilayer triangle.
The lateral ends of the triangle are fused with a candle and squeezed with tweezers, if necessary, we will do the same actions with the lower edge of the petal.
To make a multilayer petal, we apply another one cut from a ribbon of a different color to a triangle folded diagonally. We add the resulting triangular pattern and process the edges, like a pointed one. Multilayer kanzash petals visually enhance the composition and make it more expressive due to the play of color.
Making rounded petals will take a little longer and will require some skill. We turn the square diagonally, then we turn the side edges of the resulting triangle to an obtuse angle to make a rhombus.
We turn the rhombus on the other side, press the side corners to the center of the rhombus, you can fix a drop of glue.
Again, turn the part over, straighten the petal, process the lower edge.
Ready petals with a thread and a needle are collected in a flower.
For convenience, you can use the base, to which we later attach the clasp.
Classical variations in the shapes of kanzashi petals can be supplemented with interesting details. If the inner side of the workpiece of the pointed petal is rounded and fixed with glue, an unusual petal with a curl will result. Mother of pearl beads are perfect for satin, complementing the delicate composition. The central part of the flower can also be decorated with beads or decorative stamens from a thread aged in glue with starch.
Whatever method you choose to make kanzashi petals, your decoration will be unique and emphasize your original style.
