Currently, handmade hair decorations that are made using the technique are considered very popular and very beautiful. kanzashi. Such decorations are very famous and beautiful because they can be used to make flower arrangements of any complexity. Flowers in this technique take on different shapes, and they can also combine, at first glance, very different colors and materials. These floral arrangements look very beautiful on hairpins, elastic bands, brooches, headbands and headbands. Kanzashi came to us from Japanese beauties, and we all know that they were great fashionistas and were the first to decorate their hairstyles with flowers, adding some zest and sophistication to their hairstyles. Now kanzashi hair decorations are very common on the hairstyles of children and young girls who complement their outfits, both for every day and for social parties, graduations, discos and others. In addition, such a product as a gift would be very relevant and quite unusual. You can always please your friend, sister, mother with an individual handmade product that will always remind you of you.
In this joint master class we will learn how to make a bright and shiny hairband, which is very suitable for hairstyles for both babies and girls. This headband will be very relevant to any summer outfit in pink and burgundy tones.
What we need for the rim:
• Metal hairband 5 mm wide;
• Three shiny purple cabochons with a diameter of 5-6 mm;
• Narrow white satin ribbon, 5 mm wide, approximately 30 cm;
• Ribbons made of brocade in silver and pink, both 4 cm wide, each meter long;
• Burgundy organza ribbon, width 4 cm, length 70-75 cm;
• Lighter;
• Ruler and scissors;
• Tweezers;
• Glue gun;
• Metal clips or clothespins;
• Needle with thread.




All our ribbons come with a shiny base, both brocade and organza. Therefore, the flowers will turn out very rich and bright with a brilliant tint. So, there will be three flowers in total on our hoop. Some flowers are sharper, while others are rounded, which is why they are made differently. One flower will have nine rounded organza petals, and two flowers will have double flowers, consisting of eight pointed petals each. We measure out 19 squares of silver brocade 4*4 cm, 6 squares of pink brocade 4*4 cm and 16 squares of burgundy organza also 4*4 cm. We cut out all the squares and burn the sides of each with a lighter.




Making a rounded petal. Let's take a square.





Fold it once diagonally. Then we take the acute angle and first apply the right side to the center




Then left. We bend it back and make an even cut from the bottom and back, parallel to the front of the petal.




We process the cuts so that the threads do not unravel. Press down well with tweezers.




Leveled, ready. In total we make 6 pink and 3 silver petals of this shape.




As for the second type of petal: fold the silver square diagonally.




The second time, also in half, take the clamp and press it. Now we fold the organza.




Also twice, like the previous one.






With the pointed corner up, we now fold the brocade triangle onto the organza triangle only a little lower, an indent of approximately 2-3 mm. Fold it in half exactly. We cut evenly from the bottom, burn and clamp. Then we cut it off from the side and process it.






We get a petal like this. In total, we make 16 of them for two flowers.




We have three colors, we are preparing three substrates. Cut out squares, then circles.





We sew the petals one to one with a thread, and glue the centers and backings with a gun.



We cover the rim with a narrow white tape.




Glue the flowers on the rim more to the right and you're done! The bright summer hoop is ready! I thank everyone and wish you good luck.
