Kanzashi volumetric chrysanthemum with their own hands: a master class for beginners

Before making chrysanthemum Kanzashi, you need to prepare the following materials:

• satin ribbon width of at least three centimeters, the length of the tape should be calculated depending on the number of petals required at the rate of seven centimeters per petal;
• scissors;
• glue "Moment";
• lighter;
• a hat band of 15 cm in length;
• a small piece of felt or any other non-friable material.

As a decoration, you can use an ordinary fishing line and beads (one large and a few small ones).

When creating a chrysanthemum flower, the following sequence of actions should be observed:

1. We cut the satin ribbon into 40 pieces with a length of 7 cm.
2. We take one ribbon and bend it outward with the front side. Further, at an angle, cut off the tip of the segment and burn with a cigarette lighter.
3. The corners of the other end of the strip are also bent to the middle of the tip. At the same time, you can flex both lapped and butt-off with respect to each other. Again singing ends.
4. We make similar actions with all ribbons, of which our flower will consist.
5. We begin to prepare the basis. To do this, from the felt cut out a circle with a diameter of about three centimeters. You can cut a circle and out of the ribbon, then singing the edges of the circle.
6. We make two small incisions in the circle. We insert the elastic into the resulting holes and tie a knot from the opposite side of the circle. In addition, the node can be strengthened with threads. Or, at the end of the work with a hot glue, glue the usual hair band.
7. We prepare the decoration. We take the line and cut off from it two small pieces (not more than 6 cm in length).
8. Using glue "Moment" we glue three beads on each line.
9. We start to collect a flower. First you need to prepare a chrysanthemum stand. To do this, a plastic foam cylinder is used, on which ribbons are sold in the store. Such a cylinder has a small hole in the middle. It is necessary to insert the rubber band in such a way that its bundle is on top.
10. We paste the flowers on the base in the following order: eight petals per 1,2, 3 rows, six petals - 4, 5 rows, four petals - the sixth row.
11. The petals must be arranged so that the previous row between the petals can be seen.
12. After the fifth row is pasted, it is necessary to paste the pieces with beads.
13. As a center of the flower, you can use a beautiful large button or bead.

When creating a bulk chrysanthemum in Kansas technique, you can vary the color range and create flowers of the most unusual shades.

Such a chrysanthemum flower can be attached to a regular elastic band, hair clip, hairpin and on the bezel.

If you use a white ribbon when creating a flower, such a snow-white chrysanthemum can serve as a decoration for a wedding hairstyle with flowers .
