I've been working on these Kanzashi style flowers for a while, trying to get the technique just right. They are quite time-consuming if you're really striving for accuracy in size and shape. But when it comes right down to it, nobody is running around with a tape measure, so as long as it looks reasonably symmetrical, I'm not going to spend my life in search of perfection. It's imperfection that makes life interesting.
These can be made in a variety of materials, different sizes and three different petal shapes, put together in any pleasing combination. A little button or novelty shape is used in the center to hide the little hole that is part and parcel of these flowers. I'm making some stretchy headbands that babies and little girls wear to attach the flowers, but they could also be placed on those stiffer headbands, combs or clips and placed in the hair, or on a sash.
Don't you think they'd be great for your little flower girls or junior bridesmaids? Or even as an adornment to the ring bearer's cushion, if you're using one of those?
