Kanzashi sunflower - master class

Which plant always reminds of the summer sun? Of course, sunflower! Crafts in the form of this large and summer warm flower can perfectly cope with the decoration of the interior. Using the technique of Kanzash, you can make your own hands with decorative sunflowers for decorating pillows, curtains and even hairpins . Bright sunflower, made in the technique of Kanzash, the master class of which we offer, you can use anywhere. It all depends on the chosen size of the craft and your imagination.

We will need:

  1. From a sheet of cardboard we cut out a circle whose diameter will correspond to the core of the sunflower in the style of Kanzash (without petals). In our case, the flower is large, so we'll use the usual CD as a template. Now let's start making sunflower seeds. To do this, from a black satin ribbon, cut 35-40 squares of the same size. Each petal folded in half. We repeat the operation two more times. Using the flame of a candle or a lighter, we seal the edges and turn the seed on the front side. Thus, we obtained 35-40 sunflower seeds.
  2. When the seeds are ready, we begin to make yellow petals. From the squares of the yellow tape, you need to make 50-60 sharp petals, which will decorate the inner circle of the sunflower. Similarly, make 12-14 large yellow petals for the outer circle.
  3. After the painstaking and laborious work is done, we continue our work on the manufacture of Sunflower Kanzashi gluing the blanks on a cardboard circle. We start from the center, moving in a circle. Make sure that the distance between the seeds is the same. It is better to glue them more tightly so that the base of cardboard is not looked through. Then along the circle we glue the inner row of yellow small petals, and the outer petals are fastened in staggered order. We made a green-colored leaf-petal paste under the outer layer of large yellow petals. Our handsome man is ready!

As you can see, it's quite easy to make a sunflower in Kanzash technique. A bit of skill, patience and imagination - and you can easily create your own handicrafts with your own hands, which can serve as decoration or decorations.
