Hello there ribbon lovers. Bonnie here again today and I'm sharing another fun Kanzashi creation using ribbon and accessories from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
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.
I encourage you to give Kanzashi a try. I bet you'll be hooked!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. As always, I would love to have you swing by my Make Time to Craft blog as well and follow me over there. Happy crafting!
Hello there ribbon lovers. Bonnie here again today and I'm sharing another fun Kanzashi creation using ribbon and accessories from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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!
Hello ribbon lovers. Bonnie here today with some more Kanzashi flowers to inspire you. All the ribbon, embellishments and hair clips or pin backs can be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.
All the flowers were created with 1-1/2" wide Grosgrain Ribbon. I used a couple different Embellishments and RRR carries a large variety of embellishments that are the perfect size for flower centers, whether they are kanzashi flowers or paper flowers.
The first flower is in colors that would be perfect for autumn or winter and would be equally great as a brooch for a coat using a Pin Back or for a hair clip when you add the Hair Clip hardware of your choice. The center of this flower uses a 14mm White Flower Shape Pearl Embellishment.
Both of the flowers are a mix of petal made following the video tutorials below.

Well, I love purple so of course one of the flowers I made is a pretty purple mix. You just can't go wrong with a purple and green color combination. On the center layer of this one I made layered petals following the new folding technique above but I just used the one color. It's another interesting look.
The center embellishment on this one is one of my personal favorites. It's a 12mm Glass Bi-Color Wave Cabachon and it some in a pretty mix of colors. Love Love Love!!

Hi there ribbon lovers. Bonnie here today with a quick and easy Kanzashi Flower project made with supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
This is a relatively easy starter Kanzashi flower project if you've been itching to give it a try.
I will provide two video tutorials below to help you along.
This flower was created with 1-1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon in Pearl Pink, Hot Pink and Apple Green along with a 14mm Flower Shape Acrylic Rhinestone and your choice of a Pin Back or a Hair Clip depending on how you want to wear it. This would look fabulous on a jacket or as an embellishment for a bag as well as a hair clip.
The first video shows how to create the flower petals and the second video will show you how I created the size difference between the hot pink and pearl pink petals.

Hi friends. Bonnie here today with another pretty Kanzashi hair clip that would be perfect for autumn. I used a new folding technique for the layered petals and I have shared a new video below. You can easily create similar hair clips using supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
This type of Kanzashi hair clip is perfect for adults, so why not make one for yourself!
No need for lots of supplies to make this pretty hair accessory. These clips were created with 1-1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon, one 80 mm French Clip, a 12mm Mixed Chevron Glass Cabachon for the autumn themed clip and a 12mm Silver Glitter Stardust Rhinestone for the pink clip. I also used scissors, a hot glue gun, tweezers, and a lighter which you likely already have on hand. I have included a video tutorial below showing me creating this Kanzashi hair clip.

The video does not show the exact hair clip below, but it will show you how to create the layered petal. I created the 8 petal flower and then glued that the the middle of the french clip. Then I added the clustered petals to each side along with the pearls.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you'll try to make some of your own Kanzashi creations.
Hi friends. Today I have a pretty red and white woven ribbon headband with a kanzashi ribbon flower to share with you made with pretty ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I have Youtube tutorials to teach you how to make both items that I will share as well at the bottom of this post.
The woven ribbon headband was made using two of the ribbons in the January Ribbon Club Assortment. It's not too late to grab one of these gorgeous assortments.
This pretty assortment contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and trim. What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.
Today I have a NEW Kanzashi Petal option to teach you. This is a petal with a rounded tip which I created with great ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon. You can create Kanzashi petals like these with Grosgrain, Satin or even Gingham squares just as long as the ribbon is 100% polyester.
The center embellishments on the Kanzashi Flowers are all from Really Reasonable Ribbon as well. Be sure to check out the NEW Embellishments Section for a lot of fun options.

Hi friends. I'm back today with some more Kanzashi video tutorials for different petal sizes using only 1-1/2" width ribbon, some different ways to cut your ribbon squares and how to line a variety of clips.

These pretty two layer kanzashi flowers were made with 1-1/2" grosgrain or gingham squares. I will show you in the video below how to create petals in different sizes using all the same size ribbon squares. This saves you from having to have a supply of ribbon squares in different sizes.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying the kanzashi video tutorials and I hope you will try it yourself. Happy crafting!
I had hoped to have some new videos for you showing you how I made the slightly smaller petals for the top layer along with the best ways to cut your 1-1/2" ribbon squares, but well..... it's summer and there just isn't enough time in the day!
I promise to have the new videos as soon as I can, but for now, keep practicing the basic petal - I have included the original video tutorial at the end of this post. I can't tell you how much my petals have improved with practice. The more you practice, the more consistent they are and the better they look.
We are getting lots of new ribbons and other products in at Really Reasonable Ribbon as well. Watch for a new 'embellishment' category too on the RRR site soon! I will be offering the larger hard to find sizes of half pearl and a lot of other embellishments that I know you will LOVE!
