Easy Kanzashi Flower How-To!
I am a hoarder, I save every scrap of fabric thats left over from other projects. Ive been wanting to make Kanzashi flowers for a while, so I started with my scrap pile. They are so easy to make! This might not be the real "traditional" method of making these flowers, but rather an easy way I came up with after many experiments ( I like feeling like a crafty scientist!).
Ok so here goes...

Step 1Gather supplies:
-
Step 2With thre right side down, place a glue dot on the tip of one of the ends. Stick together oposite ends so that you are left with a triangle. Now that you have the right side of the fabric on top, place a dot of glue on the corner that had glue before.
-
Step 3Now fold the left corner until the tip is glued to the bottom tip. Place a dot of glue over this union.
-
Step 4Fold the Right corner so the tip get glued to the bottom tip.
-
Step 5Secure with a clothes pin until the glue dries.
-
Step 6Turn it around and place a tip of glue on the right and left corners.
-
Step 7Fold the tips to the center and press.
-
Step 8Now fold the fabric by the middle...
-
Step 9as shown.
-
Step 10Secure it with the Clothes Pin until it dries.
-
Step 11Cut the tip off the petal, make sure its straight!
-
Step 12Dab some glue on the freshly cut side...
-
Step 13and press it together with the clothes pin.
-
Step 14Repeat steps 1- 11 untill you have enough petals to make a flower. When you do, cut out a circle of the backing material of your choice. I used green craft felt.
-
Step 15Shape the petals with your fingers until they look good. Please make sure the glue is dry by then or they will unfold. Turn each petal around and place a dot of glue on the bottom. In this step I used hot glue to save time.
-
Step 16Add a button on the center or any embelishments you like. These flowers can be worn on anything. I glue this one to a head band. I made soem felt leaves to add more color:D
