The Art of Kanzashi



I'm always looking for a way to use up all these fabric scraps I find in the remnant pile at the fabric store. These take very little fabric and I've found that mixing a light weight fabric with a heavier weight make for a sturdy Hair Flower.

Here is a great TUTORIAL and where I got my inspiration for these Hair Flowers.  These are time consuming and if you use canvas like I do you'll need a good sharp needle!


My Daughter is always losing her bows at school so I started personalizing her stuff!  Now the school calls if her bows are found on the play ground!
So if my fabric is heavy... I use 6 petals and if I'm using a light weight fabric I use 7 petals.  You can also add a leaf for whimsy!


Of course I'm selling these in my Shop at SpoiledRottenCotton.com
