I
was intrigued why the flowers were called Kanzashi, and how these intricate
flowers are done. The way I understand based on the written information in the
internet, Kanzashi are hair decorations used on traditional Japanese hairstyle
which go back 3000 years ago. The stick pins were believed could ward off evil
spirits. Tsumami Kanzashi on the other hand, is a type of kanzashi that means
folded hair flowers or ornaments that are made of fabric. Originally, tsumami kanzashi
are made of silk fabric, folded and formed into flower petals. I’m still in the
process of intensive researching and reading to understand the term more.
Meanwhile,
I made a tsumami kanzashi based on the tutorial I’ve seen in the YouTube. Difficult
it may seem but in the end, I was able to follow and made my first ever pair
tsumami kansazhi hair clips for my birthday girl using lemon yellow and black
grosgrain ribbons. I used a sew-on button rhinestone that I bought in a local
store as centerpieces.
Congratulations for successfully making your first ever tsumami kansazhi hair clips! I really admire your talent for the arts and crafts. Maybe, once I am blessed with a baby girl, I'll be able to have that motivation (or courage) to try doing DIY stuff though Youtube tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I remember when I was in high school. My mother made me lots of hair clips. Hot glue and ribbons go a long way. :)
