Why not have fun making your own original Japanese accessories that express the unique Japanese sense of season and aesthetic sense?
• Decide the type, color, and pattern you want to make
• First, decide on the type of "kanzashi" you like. There is a wide variety to choose from, including corsage and comb types. Next, choose the color and pattern from the many fabrics available. There are two types of fabric to use: crepe fabric and old kimono cloth. Chirimen fabric is suitable for beginners as it is easy to fold, but old cloth with kimono patterns and a supple texture is also attractive.
• Fold the fabric to make petals
• The fabric is folded several times to form small triangles to create the petals. This is a delicate process, so it is done carefully using tweezers. After that, the petals are arranged on a board with glue spread on it, being careful not to spread the folds. This process is repeated for each petal. The petals are attached to the base, and decorations such as pearls or beads that will serve as the center of the flower are fixed in place, and the piece is complete.
