In order to understand the technique of Kanzashi, you need to learn how to make flowers. After mastering this theory, any idea will be on the shoulder. Flowers - the basis of the foundations of the Japanese art of Kanzashi. Surely more than once had to see bright decorations in the form of bouquets, leaves of silk and satin ribbons, and, as you can see, they are rather similar. About what are kanzashi petals, you will find out very soon.
The difference is applicable only to the petals, which are the structure of the flower and give the finished product of the intended form.
The manufacturing process itself is quite simple, but requires perseverance, care and painstaking work. Therefore, if you are to be patient and master the skills of creating petals of different types, then even a novice master will be able to subsequently create masterpieces of incredible beauty.
As in the wilderness, Kanzashi petals are divided into two types: sharp and round. For the manufacture of the parts you need, the standard set for work will be required:
- fabric or satin tape;
- handle or pencil, ruler;
- tweezers and scissors;
- Sewing supplies, glue, lighter or candle;
- Any decorations for flowers - rhinestones, beads, buttons, sequins, etc.
Sharp petals
Next, consider the MK to create sharp petals of Kanzashi.
1) First of all, it is necessary to prepare the material. To do this, cut the squares from the fabric or satin tape.
The greater the square, the longer the petal and, respectively, the flower. The number of petals will depend on the size and volume of the flower.
Satin ribbons can be different widths, most often use 5 and 2.5 cm. With thin fabrics, such as organza, silk, satin, chiffon, the kapron work is easier and easier. However, some masters use more dense tissues or braids, then petals are obtained by large, textured and very original.

Squares can be cut and immediately handle edges on the outdoor fire, so that it is easier to work with the material.
2) Square fold in half.
3) Once again, in half you need to fold the already obtained triangle.
4) and again.
The fold lines must be smooth, and the triangle itself should not be mounted.
5) The place where all the ends of the tissue converge, cut into several millimeters and also burn the edges.
6) The lower edges of the triangle are also cut and fall on fire.
7) Then we turn the triangle along the long cropped edge and fix the base with glue using fire or thread.
8) in the same way we turn the rest of the squares, and sharp petals are ready.
Two-color fabric
Such petals are easy to make out of two colored squares of the tissue.
1) Two cloth cut-off triangles are superimposed on each other with a small indent.
2) Then, by a similar scheme for creating an acute cannzashi petal, two-color petals are glued together.
It turned out a two-color sharp petal.
Round petals
To create round petals, the same set of tools and materials will be required. The following is the MK on the Round Petal of Kanzashi:
1) As in the previous MK, we cut the required number of squares from the tissue or satin tape.
2) We fold the square in half diagonally, the triangle should turn out.
3) bend the lateral angles to the center.
4) To ensure that the design is not broken, fix all the angles using the thread, another cooked square turned out.
5) Next, bend the opposite corners of the square in the opposite direction to the center.
6) The resulting billet of the petal is folded in half in such a way that the cooled corners are inside.
7) The lower part neatly cut into several millimeters, falling fire.
8) It remains to straighten, and the round petal is ready.
Round two colors
In order to make a two-color round petal, it is necessary instead of one to take two squares of the tissue of different colors and turn them in the same manner, a slightly shifting one from the other.

It looks like this:
By connecting together all round petals, you can get such a beautiful flower.
Next, with the acquisition of skills on the creation of kanzashi petals, threads and needles will not be used. Needlewoman, having mastered the main technique, collect petals in a matter of seconds, using only tweezers and a source of fire.
Usually round petals are used to create blurred large colors, and sharp petals complement the picture in the form of leaves or buds.
But in addition to colors, the technique of creating canzashi petals can be applied to the manufacture of various figures - birds, animals, hearts and many other interesting things. Fantasy can suggest a lot of options.
