Kanzashi Ribbon Flower
This flower is ideal for hair ties and clips. It is quick but fairly painstaking, so the tutorial suits crafters with nimble fingers. Use white nylon ribbon, pink satin ribbon, glue, and a large bead.
Main Steps
Step 1
This flower works well for hair ties and clips. It is quick but fairly painstaking, so the tutorial suits crafters with nimble fingers. 😉
Step 2
Prepare: • milky-white nylon ribbon; • pink satin ribbon; • scissors; • Crystal glue or a hot-glue gun and glue sticks; • a hair clip or elastic tie; • a large bead.
Tutorial
First, cut the ribbons into squares: 6 of each color. I used 5 cm-wide satin ribbon, making 5 × 5 cm squares.
Fold narrow petals. Fold each square diagonally, most conveniently with tweezers, as follows:
Step 3
Fold the triangle once more:
Step 4
And once more:
Step 5
Seal the end with a candle flame. You will get a petal like this:
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining pink and milky-white squares. Join the petals in groups of three: first join two, then insert the third between them.
Step 7
Now glue together two white flower clusters, each with three petals. Glue the pink clusters between them.
Step 8
If you plan to attach the flower immediately, cut two more squares from pink satin ribbon. Glue one to the center of the flower back. Put the other into the center of the clip or hair tie, apply glue, and attach the flower on top, making a sandwich of fabric layer/hair tie/second fabric layer.
Decorate the flower center with a bead or large rhinestone.
