  Step 1

  Things you will need:

  Fabric
  Needle and Thread
  Button
  Glue Gun
  Fabric Glue
  Plastic/Metal Hair clip

• 

  Step 2

  Step 1: Cut out 6 4x4cm squares of your chosen fabric. I find taffeta or silk fabrics tend to work best, however any fabric can be used.

  Step 2: Fold one of the squares in half to create a triangle. Make sure the right side of the fabric is facing out.

• 

  Step 3

  Step 3: Fold both edges of the triangle into the middle creating a diamond shape.

  Step 4

  Step 3: Fold both edges of the triangle into the middle creating a diamond shape.

  Step 5

  Step 4: This is the tricky part to explain: Fold the 2 sides of the diamond shape at the bottom tip downwards creating the petal. Use the needle and thread to secure the petal into place.

  Step 7

  Step 5: Create another 5 petals and thread them onto the same needle and thread.

• 

  Step 8

  Step 6: Stitch the last petal to the first petal, secure the thread and cut.

• 

  Step 9

  Step 7: Turn the flower over and use a glue gun to stick a button onto the centre of the flower to cover the raw edges of the petals.

• 

  Step 10

  Step 8: This step is optional but I think it makes the flowers look a bit nicer on the back and last a little longer. Use fabric glue to seal the raw edges of the fabric on the back of the flower.

  Step 11

  Step 9: Once the glue has dried your kanzashi flower is finished and you can use it in a number of ways. I personally like to attach them to hair clips and voila you have a beautiful hair accessory!
