Tsumami Kanzashi!

[eskimosnowman]

I've been really interested in tsumami kanzashi and for the last few months have done nothing but make them, lots of trial and error

I'm pretty pleased with the results though 









I'm guessing everyone probably knows by now, but just in case you don't
these hair clips are known as, tsumami kanzashi,
tsumami: "pinching of fabric" and kanzashi meaning "hair ornament"
if you guys want to give it a go, check out this awesome tutorial

I'm definitely in love with the whole process
good luck making your own!

Oh, those are so pretty! I love what you came up with, particularly the one with the little butterfly!

These are really beautiful, the larger ones are like soft sculpture.

Do you glue the pieces onto a backing or sew them together? I have made some of my own which I am quite proud of but I sew the petals together and would like some tips from others who make these lovely little flowers.

Many thanks, Eve.

I do you glue the pieces onto a backing.  I've never tried sewing, but I'd be interested in giving sewing a go too, I've seen some great results from sewing the petals together
