What materials are needed to make kanzashi

Rubbers are made from a basic set of materials:

• Matching ribbons.
• Lighter or candle. Needed to create a special effect on the flower and to melt the shaggy edges of the ribbon.
• Threads that match the color of the ribbons.
• Needle.
• Scissors.
• Glue for assembling parts, but in most cases you can just sew.

Beads, beads, sequins, sequins, stones can be added for additional flower decoration.

Rose

The favorite flower of most girls and women is the rose. It will help to create an unusual accessory using the kanzashi technique. DIY hair ties from satin ribbons with a rose are made as follows:

1. Take a ribbon 2.5 centimeters wide.
2. Cut into 20 strips 5 cm long.
3. Sing off the edges to prevent fraying.
4. Take the first strip and lay it so you can see the wrong side.
5. Fold the strip in the center obliquely, a right angle should form between the protruding edges.
6. The edge that we see from the front side, bend again in the center.
7. Now we lower the folded segment down, overlaying it on the bottom strip.
8. If you turn it over, then the shape of the blank will resemble a house.
9. Leave the blank on the front side of the tape and walk down with simple stitches to the middle of the petal.
10. Make the next petal.
11. Lay it over the first and connect them with small stitches, reaching only the middle of the second petal.
12. Do the same with the third petal, but sew to the end.
13. Pull the thread so that the petals form a circle and fix.
14. Make five petals and sew them together in the same way, finally tightening into a circle. But the second circle should be looser, not so tight.
15. Now do the same with the seven petals. When tightening, leave a small hole in the middle.
16. To make the core, start folding the ribbon like a petal. But at the stage where you need to lower the side part down, do it at an acute angle and twist several times.
17. Sew the core to secure it in this position.
18. Sew three petals to the core as you did before.
19. Connect everything in a circle.
20. Now we collectdetails. You can use glue or thread. Connect so that at the bottom there is a circle with seven petals, and at the top - with three.
