Hairpins in which the technique of Kanzashi is used, will suit all

As you know, almost all girls bow before expensive ornaments. Diamonds, gold and emeralds increase the mood and give joy. But many modern representatives of the beautiful half of humanity prefer not so expensive, but more original and unusual jewelry. In addition, quite a few girls and women would like to decorate not only their fingers and ears, but also their hair.

Ornaments for hairstyles

The most original ornaments for women's hairstyles are those in which Kansas technique is used. These unusual hairpins originate from long hairpins, which were used to fasten and decorate classic female hairstyles in Ancient Japan. For such products used silver, lacquer, wood and tortoise shell. Modern women who buy jewelry for hair, where the technique of Kanzashi is applied, usually choose a variety of Hana kanzashi. In this hair clip , flowers are used from the fabric.

The most difficult for those who decided to master the manufacture of Kanzash is to learn how to fold and tear off pieces of cloth that must turn into petals of flowers. For the manufacture of these pins, the following materials and devices will be needed:

• Silk or satin fabric;
• scissors,
• tweezers;
• Needle with thread;
• Ruler;
• Pins;
• glue;
• Lighter or candles.

By creating Kansas flowers, masters usually use two types of petals: rounded and triangular. For the production of rounded petals we need tissue squares of 5 by 5 cm, which should be placed on the table in such a way that one corner looks up, and the piece itself resembles an equilateral diamond. The upper corner should be pressed to the bottom, resulting in a triangle with sharp angles on the sides. They need to be bent down. After this, you will get a small diamond, which must be turned from the face, then the left and right corners should be pressed to the middle. Then the product again turns its face towards itself, and the petal is fixed with a pin so that it does not turn. Then the bottom corner is cut with scissors and squeezed after it is melted by fire from a cigarette lighter or a candle. After mastering the technique of the petal, you can start making multilayered and two-color flowers.

Works of art

Many admirers of Japanese culture know that Kanzash technique used to make unusual pins helps create a variety of moods that correspond to different seasons. Therefore, they, turning to the masters of Kanzash, are asked to make for them a specific kind of decoration. Particularly popular winter (New Year), as well as spring and summer Kanzas. Many believe that the most refined and refined are the autumn Kanzas, because they are decorated with chrysanthemum. And this elegant flower has been a symbol of the imperial family for many centuries. A special note of solemnity to these products is given by a combination of colors of red and white shades.

Many modern masters who manufacture Kanzas prefer to decorate them in the same way as Japanese masters did. For this, from small squares of natural silk, they make small bulk flowers, which are very elegant and unusual look as an ornament for women's hairstyle. Many hairpins, for which Kanzash technique is used, resemble real miniature works of art. In addition to being an ornament, these hairpins also perform an important function - with their help it is much easier to lay long hair in beautiful curly ringlets. It is not by chance that Japanese Kanzas became very popular with Russian brides.
