School bow-kanzashi on September 1 - master class

In our country, Kansas technique is very popular today. On the Internet, you can find a huge number of options for making bows by September 1. In this article, we show and explain in detail how these ornaments are made.

What do they do in Kansas technique?

This technique came to us from Japan. Kanzash is called the traditional hair ornament that geishas wear along with a kimono. This technique came back from antiquity. Historically, traditional Japanese outfits could not be worn with bracelets and necklaces. Thus, fabric flowers became the only decoration of Japanese women.

By the kind of decoration a woman wears on her head, it was possible to understand what position and status she was, it was a kind of way of self-expression.

To date, this technique is known all over the world. Now with the help of products made in Kansas technique, not only hair, but also jewelry, accessories and even garments are adorned.

How to choose the material?

As it may seem at first glance, the tapes, from which the kanzashi bows are made by oneself, are the easiest to choose. However, it is not. It is more convenient to work with dense ribbons, so special attention should be paid to the density of the material.

If there is no possibility to buy a thick tape, then buy a thin tape, but it is necessary to finish the finished product at the end of the work with a hair spray. It is necessary to do this, so that the decoration is in shape. Choose a quality tape, if it is uneven and twisted, then your jewelry will lose its appearance.

Colors

It is also worth paying special attention to this. Initially, you need to decide what kind of jewelry and for what purposes you want to make. Waves and floral prints are suitable for decorations for solemn and romantic settings. Funny inscriptions, cartoon characters will come to the liking of the children, from them will come out a beautiful, lush Kantash bow. But peas or a strict strip are designed for classic hairpins.

Materials and Tools

If you decide to make a bow of Kansas satin ribbon yourself, then first you need to stock up with the necessary tools and materials.

Work in Kansas technique, like any other kind of needlework, presupposes the availability of the necessary set of tools. Experienced craftsmen who have fully mastered this technique acquire special sets for work in Kansas technique, however, if you are still a beginner and yet do not plan to tackle this craft closely, you can purchase the necessary tools separately. In any case, you can not do without:

• Tweezers, you can first use the one that you correct your eyebrows, it can also be an anatomical, sewing or surgical tool.
• Scissors - this tool is in every house, it is important that they are sharp and not too small, as this can complicate the work.
• Glue, the most important thing is that it should be transparent, because in the process of work it is necessary to glue not only tapes, but also plastic and metal parts. First you can buy glue "Moment". However, if you plan to engage in this craft in the future, it is better to get a glue gun. Work with it is much more economical and more convenient.
• Thread, it is necessary to choose strong, but at the same time not thick. The color should be selected in the tone of the product being manufactured.
• Needles. Sometimes for assembly of a product details are fastened by means of a needle, it should be not so long and thin.
• Pins. They are rarely used, but just in case it's better to have it with you.
• Candles. This is a mandatory attribute when working in Kansas technique. With its help, the edges of the tape are processed and fastened together. The candle can be replaced by gas burners, igniters or lighters.
• Tape. This is the main material in the work. They can be of different width, thickness and material.
• Fittings. It is used to decorate the finished product. In the work interesting buttons, balls, beads, beads and many other things may come in handy.

This is all the most necessary to create school bows, Kanzas, independently.

Master Class

For this work, you need to prepare all the tools that are used for traditional work in Kansas technique. This lesson will help to make the Kanzash bans on September 1. If you cope with this task, then in this technique you can make any jewelry for the hair, relying on your own imagination.

So, starting to work, in addition to tools, you will need to stock up on materials from which your jewelry will be made. In order to make this school bow-kantsaki, you will need: satin ribbon, organza, beads and wire.

The satin ribbon should be taken in width 2.5 cm, and it will be required for one bow 22 centimeters. Organza is taken smaller width - 1.5 cm, and in length 7 cm is enough. For the stamens, the wire with a cross section of 0.25 mm and two kinds of beads will be needed: 6 beads 8 mm and 15 beads 6 mm.

Preparing the Parts

These are all the necessary tools and materials, now we can proceed directly to the process itself - to make school bows-kanzash.

Master class begins with the manufacture of simple petals from organza. Cut off pieces of tape in half and fix the bottom edge with a candle and tweezers. It is necessary to make 24 petals.

Now we make tulips from a satin ribbon . To do this, from the edge of the tape we recede 3-4 cm and fold it so that the end of the tape bends perpendicularly upwards and immediately bends down. The place of the last bend is fixed with a needle. To form a flower, repeat this procedure three more times. It is necessary to make sure that the ribbons lie flat, without overlapping, so that the school bow-kanzash turns smooth and neat.

The last, fourth time, we bend the tape perpendicularly upward and leave in this position. We take the remaining free edge of the tape and apply it from above, fixing with a needle. Excess tape should be cut and fixed with fire. Now, with the help of a needle and thread, we sew our resulting square on the outer side and at the end we tighten the thread and fix it in this position.

In order to form a school bow-kantsaki this pattern, you need to make six such tulips. For the flowers you need to make stamens, we string the bead on the line and twist it. For one flower, you need to twist the three beads together.

From beads with a diameter of 6 mm, you need to make five stamens, from beads 8 mm - one. To hide the wire, it should be wrapped around a small piece of satin ribbon. We put the stamen into a bud and fix it on the back with glue.

Forming a Bow

So, when all the individual components are ready, we can collect our school bow-kanzash.

On a felt base with a diameter of 5 cm, we begin to glue the petals from the organza with a pistol. There should be three rows of eight petals. Next, we glue five flowers in a circle and one, with large beads, into the center of the bow.

We decorate a magnificent bow of Kanzash with a chain of beads. We paste large beads between the connected colors. The bow itself is ready, now it remains to make a base for the hair clip. A felt circle of the same diameter is folded and we make cuts for the barrette. Felt from all sides glued to the bar and fastened to the bow.

You can come up with your own unique Kanzash bows on September 1 and with the help of our master class to make them yourself.
