Unconventional Kanzashi pins (7 new cuties added!!!)

[nico-tiro]

 hi there
im not really sure if these are that unconventional. erm, i used different than the regular materials- tool and embroidered trim!

was inspired for some reason today to make 3- wow. i havent made these in a while.
i even managed to fashin a pin back out of felt and a brass pin- awsome! i really like this better than a regular (i mean REAL) pin back..

question:
what do you think/ like better???

this one i called 'spring fray'



the romantic one




show and tell!

those are so very pretty! i really like the fringe on the multicolored one! i need to learn to make these, great job!

[nico-tiro]

thanks mjadams!

i was so stoked to make the frayed one, it came out allright, tho instead of full 'squares', i started with 'triangles'....

there are tutorials here on craftster that are awsome! i just tweaked the tutes a bit to make my petals looks like this coz i wondered why the kanzashi tutes petals are narrow and sharp? unlike puccimaioks which are amazing....

please try it- they are really lovely

I LOVE Love em! so cute  I was wondering though, I tried to find a tutorial for flower pins, I did a search for flower pins and then for Kanzashi pins but I wasent really able to find any I only found two and they where a lot more pointy and well just not what I was looking for, would you mind sharing how you make your petals or do you know of a tute ??
