Kanzashi from the reps tape: flowers, rubber bands and bandages on the head of narrow tapes 4 cm and other sizes with a pattern, new ideas

Japanese decorations have always been managing their mysteriousness and unusual. Fancy patterns, bows, flowers in hair and a huge variety of multicolored ribbons in combination with traditional clothes make our idea of ​​culture and life of Japan even more interesting. In this article, let's talk about such a form of decoration as Kanzashi, and more specifically - about this traditional decoration made of available materials, for example, from the reps tape.

What it is?

Kanzashi or, if we talk like the true Japanese, "Kandzasi" appeared in the XVII century in the form of jewelry made from different materials. These were hairpins or ridges, usually made of precious wood. However, in order to emphasize the status of the person, they could do from expensive metals. Due to the inaccessibility of these materials for the usual man of needlewomen from different countries, they began to make them from simpler things - reps, beads or rhises.

Repovaya tape is an uninforced ribbon of polyester and repetitive tissue tape, with cchers that distinguish it from other species. On the edges of the ribbon has the edge, which allows you to save the desired shape and rigidity. Ribbon width from 5 mm to 50 mm. It's not so difficult to find them, it is enough to visit any store for needlework or tissues. Features of the production of this type of fabric form an unusual relief, and by increasing the density and the number of fibers based on it even more distinct.

The rigidity of the tape allows you to reliably preserve the shape, and the fiber porosity does not interfere with the passage of air without loss of properties.

For tissue from the rep - such properties are characteristic:

• strength and durability;
• transmission and retention of moisture (hygroscopicity);
• air transmission;
• Stiffness and preservation of shape.

The reps tape is selected by such parameters.

1. Width. Manufacturers offer ribbons from 5 mm to 50 mm, but the wizard choose a narrow range of sizes, from 25 to 40 millimeters.
2. Drawing. Rec-tapes are the so-called perforated structure, they have patterns similar to lace.
3. Colour. A variety of color palette makes a tape selection with a real adventure. You can find different colors - from monophonic and ordinary to printed drawings.
4. Rigidity. By type of preservation of the form, the reps ribbons are divided into three types: soft, medium, rigid. Soft are used mainly to decorate books and photo albums, tougher - to create canzashi ornaments and wearing on clothes.

Let us turn to the manufacturing process.

What will required?

1. Repovaya tape 25 mm and 40 mm in the amount of 2 pieces of different colors, it is desirable that they come together to each other.
2. Beads, artificial twigs with stamens.
3. Metal clamps.
4. Mugs made of felt and 35 mm diameter.
5. Thread with needle, glue-gun (very convenient) or ordinary glue, tweezers, candle and pen.

How to do?

A large number of master classes (MK) on the manufacture of Kanzashi can be found on the Internet. But not everywhere clearly and understandably described actions. Below is described in detail each step, which is very convenient for beginners. There are many types of canzashi from colored ribbons, but the manufacturing process is approximately the same. The base of the canzashi - flower.

1. Place a narrow tape on the desired number of petals, the size of 8 or 10 cm. Leafs will be made from a wide ribbon, 4 in each flower, cut into a ribbon to small segments of 5 cm.
2. The formation of petals and leaves will occur through the folding of cooked segments in half, as well as the connections of the left and right corner together. Then we connect the other end to the same way, then we take the bottom corner and fasten with the rightmost top. The last bending will be in the place where the segment was in half, it should be done 5 mm more than the top corner.
3. We cut off pieces that are no longer needed, the candle is cutting the edges and with the help of glue by fasten the sections.
4. Pull the tip of the petal for 2-3 mm and pressed the tweezers, we solder the resulting clamp.
5. We produce thread through all the petals of Kanzashi and neatly, not tight, tighten into the flower. In the center of the flower, we glue a sticky or decoration that was conceived (you can embroider beads). Then, on the back, glue all the petals.
6. In the same way, we make the petals of a simpler form and glue them to the climb if the canzashi will be used as a hairpin.

Elastic bands in Kanzashi technique are very often used in everyday life. All decorations consist of bows or petals, they are attached to the felt mug with a pre-attached rubber band. For pomp, you can add an openwork ribbon.

1. Prepare 4 tapes of one length and 25 mm thick.
2. Make the ends of the ribbons together (if there is a pattern, then one tape is normal, the second with the pattern).
3. Fold the resulting material in the form of an English letter V and secure in the middle needle.
4. In place, a fixed needle, fold the petal of Kanzashi so that both ends of the tape are located relative to each other at an angle of 90 degrees.
5. Top from myself.
6. The right side also omit from ourselves and scrape with the top with a needle.
7. Left part of the tape bend over yourself and also build with the rest of the needle.
8. Do all the same with another tape.
9. Create both parts with a thread and tightly pull, secure. From the bottom side, glue the gum using a glitter glitter.
10. For the strength of the design, it is possible to bore it in the middle with a ribbon wide from 5 mm to 10 mm.
11. From the opposite side of the rubber band, make a pattern of bead or some other material.
