May 22, 2017 Needlework techniques / Kanzashi / Kanzashi workshop 6 630 1

The last bell is a good tradition of graduates leaving school. The end of a carefree childhood, ahead - an independent, adult life. Of course, on this day everyone wants to look beautiful, and especially girls. Therefore, I propose to make a bow on the Last call with your own hands.
For this we need:

- white satin ribbon with a width of 4 - 5 cm;
- white felt;
- scrunchy;
- rhinestones;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- white threads and a needle.

1 way.
Step 1. Cut the satin ribbon into 15 parts (4 cm wide and 12 cm long).

Step 2. Make the first petal. Bend the tape in half. We bend each half also in half to the center. Fasten the middle of the petal with a small stitch.

So it looks in front.

So it looks from behind.

Step 3. Bend the petal in half. We bend to the center the left, and then the right corner.

Step 4. Cut off the bumps below. Using a candle or a regular lighter, we melt the edges of the petal, thereby fixing the desired shape and preventing the ribbon from opening. Thus, we make 15 petals.

Step 5. Cut out a circle from white felt and sew there an elastic band for hair. This will be the base of the bow.

Step 6. Using the glue gun (you can also sew on), glue the first row to the base - 8 petals.

Step 7. Next, glue the second row - 5 petals.

Step 8. Then, the third row - 2 petals.

Step 9. In the middle of the bow we glue a rhinestone or bead. Done!

2 way - simpler and faster.
Step 1. Take a satin ribbon 5 cm wide and 1 meter long. We sew triangles with short stitches, while pulling, so we sew to the end of the tape.

Step 2. We fix the end of the ribbon with threads. We got something like petals. We sew the ends of the petals with a thread along the entire length of the ribbon and tighten.
