Pretty Kanzashi Hair Clip

Hello there ribbon lovers.  Bonnie here again today and I'm sharing another fun Kanzashi creation using ribbon and accessories from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This would be great as a hair accessory for an adult by adding a French Clip or other clip of your choice.  It would also make a nice pin for a jacket or bag by adding a Pin Back.

I added a pretty gingham Covered Button from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the center of the flower to finish it off.

This Kanzashi Creation was made with all 1-1/2" Solid Grosgrain Ribbons and 1-1/2" Gingham Ribbon using the petal variations in the videos below.  While it looks very large in the photo, it only measures a little more than 3" at the widest point.  It's the perfect size for an understated hair clip.

*NEW* September Ribbon Club Assortment at Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hi there ribbon lovers!  It's September (already!!), so we are introducing an all NEW Ribbon Club Assortment today here at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Since Autumn and Halloween are quickly approaching, why not enroll today and grab this August/September Ribbon Club Special Deal and be set for the autumn holidays!

Not a member yet?
The August and September assortments each contain 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed mix.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

Just because the September assortment is Halloween themed doesn't mean all you can make is Halloween projects.

This time I made a Thank You card, but it could just as easily work for any occasion by just switching out the sentiment.  I created the background paper with Distress Inks.  They are so much fun to work with. 

My bottom layer is a white mulberry paper which I think adds such a wonderful unique touch to my cards.

For a video tutorial on how I use mulberry paper on my projects, please click HERE.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All Tool using two of the ribbons from the September Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I topped off the center of my bow with a pretty 10mm Resin Flower embellishment.

Autumn Kanzashi Hair Clip

Hello there ribbon lovers.  Bonnie here again today and I'm sharing another fun Kanzashi creation using ribbon and accessories from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
This would be great as a hair accessory for an adult by adding a French Clip or other clip of your choice.  It would also make a nice pin for a jacket or bag by adding a Pin Back.

I added a Metal Charm to the center and topped it off with a Flat Back Pearl Embellishment.  You can color any white pearl embellishment with Copic Markers or other alcohol inks.  No need to keep a variety of colors on hand.  Just make up the different colors as you need them.

This Kanzashi Creation was made with all 1-1/2" Solid Grosgrain Ribbons using the petal variation in the video below.  While it looks very large in the photo, it only measures a little more than 3-1/4" at the widest point.  It's the perfect size for an understated hair clip.

For the top layer of tangerine petals on my project today, I used the technique to create different size petals using all 1-1/2" ribbon squares.  You can find that video tutorial HERE.

I encourage you to give Kanzashi a try.  I bet you'll be hooked!

I don't know about you, but an autumn color palette is one of my most favorite to work with.  Such gorgeous rich colors.  I just love everything about autumn.

My bottom layer is a natural mulberry paper with some leaf inclusions that make it perfect for autumn projects.

Woven Ribbon Headbands and Kanzashi

Hey there ribbon lovers.  Do you ever try different types of ribbon crafts?  If not, you really should!  Woven ribbon headbands are great for that favorite little girl in your life (or even you depending on the ribbon selection) and Kanzashi is great for making hair clips for yourself or even a pin for a jacket or bag.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has all the ribbon and accessories you need to dive right in.

I'm using the gorgeous and summery color palette from the July Ribbon Club Assortment.  I used the citrus multi-dot grosgrain ribbon in my woven ribbon headband along with two solid colors of 3/8" grosgrain ribbon.

Not a member yet?
The July Ribbon Club Assortment is a sizzling summer themed collection of ribbon.  It contains 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed collection of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

For my headband I used a 1/2" plastic headband and 3/8" grosgrain ribbon.  The Citrus Multi Dot Ribbon is from the July Ribbon Club Assortment and I coordinated Tangerine and Acid Green Solid Grosgrain Ribbon for the twists.

  
New to woven ribbon headbands?  
I did a video tutorial a while back for this weave and I'll share it again today.  You should give it a try.
Beginners should start with the basic woven ribbon headband and build from there.  You can find all my video tutorials HERE.

Since I'm in the process of packing up my craft room to move and don't anticipate unpacking any time soon, I'm going to be doing more work with Kanzashi as I can do that with limited supplied and with a limited work area.  Stay tuned for more in the future.  This flower combines some of the petals that I have done videos on already which I will share below.    
For this flower I used both 1-1/2" and 2" Grosgrain Ribbon and a 12mm Silver Glitter Stardust Rhinestone Embellishment for the center.

Kanzashi Ribbon LAYERED Flower Petal #1

These two crafts also work very well together.  I put my Kanzashi flower on a Single Prong Alligator Clip and that way you can wear the headband with or without the flower.  When you want the flower, just slip the bottom of the alligator clip in to the weave of the headband.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll give Kanzashi Flowers or Woven Ribbon Headbands a try.  Happy crafting!
