Tsumami
Kanzashi
Tutorial
Fabric Preparaon – Supply List
Kitty-kanzashi
Introducon
Welcome to my tutorial for tsumami kanzashi.
Fabric
My aim with these tutorials is to provide a detailed explana7on of all the steps that I take to make kanzashi. Along the
way I will let you know of all the problems which I encountered and the many solu7ons to resolve them.
So without further ado I’ll begin!
Starch
Iron and ironing board (not in the picture as they are too big)
CuIng mat
Rotary cu8er
Metal ruler
Chapter One – Things you need!
Tsumami kanzashi made in the tradi7onal way require a lot of
Flower Petals Construcon – Supply List
supplies but don’t worry most of the supplies are easily obtained from your nearest Arts and CraE Store. If your physical
store fails you then there is the internet which will fill in the
gaps.
Kanzashi bases – Supply List
Wooden board
S7ck
Rice glue (this will be a li8le bit difficult to obtain but well
worth it)
Tweezer
Glue
Awl
Pencil or pen for marking
Pliers
Wire cu8ers
24 gauge wire
Circle stencil
S7ff paper
Felt
Scissors

hide the base from view, thus crea7ng a nicer look.
What you may find very handy if you keep making the same
size bases are punches. They are really good if you are using
just paper or card but they do not work on felt so I don’t use
them. However you can always buy pre-cut felt discs from
etsy which for me are a godsend.
You now have a disc of felt and paper. With the felt disc, apply a thin layer of glue all over the felt and put aside to dry a
bit.
Embellishment (pearls, beads anything that you like)
Chaine8e (braided thread)
Aluminium (florist) wire
Mount (hairband, hairgrips, comb or brooch)
If you are wondering what the aluminium wire is used for,
well it will be used to make hairpins for the maiko style kanzashi.
With the paper disc, take your awl and pierce the centre of
the disc.
Oh and the most important thing of all is pa7ence and lots of
it as you will soon find out.
Chapter Two – Making the bases
What you are making here are the bases for the folded petals
to be glued on. This tutorial creates the most basic bases
used for kanzashi making but there is a slight altera7on you
can make to the base to create a different look. I will go
through this later in the kanzashi tutorials.
We apply the glue on the felt because if we apply it onto the
paper, there is a chance that the glue will curl the paper which
will make it hard to play with.
Now, they are tradi7onally made from card but I favour using Now take your 24 gauge wire and cut a piece of wire that is 14

up.
edge something to grip onto.
We begin with marking the felt and paper with the desired
disc size and cuIng them out with your scissors.
From one end bend a 3cm piece so that it is at right angle to
As a rough guide, your base should be marginally smaller then the remaining wire.
the flower size i.e for a 3cm flower a base of 2.5cm is recommended. Why you may ask? Because this way, the petals will
7
Tada!!! You made a base, but only one, you will need to make
more if you wish to make a complete arrangement.
Now bend the 3cm bit of wire into a spiral like so. Using another pair of pliers will make this much easier but you can be
lazy like me and just use your fingers.
You could of course just bend a smaller piece of metal so that
you don’t have to curl it but I find that unless you use a lot of
glue the paper and felt will pivot on that bit of wire. By curling
it into a spiral, it gives the base stability which is necessary
when you are arranging them at the end.
Now you can begin puIng things together. Take your prepared wire and thread it through the pierce centre of the paper disc.
Now align the paper disc to the glued felt disc and press to
make sure both discs are glued. Leave to dry before using in
the next stage or the paper and felt will slip.

Lazy-Anime

Anime: Death Note
Rated: Teen 17+
Episodes: 37

During just another normal day, Yagami Light stumbles upon a black notebook known as
the Death Note. This notebook belongs to a shinigami, Ryuk, having the ability to kill anyone who has their name wri8en in it. As the new owner of the Death Note, Light's true desires surfaces, yearning to cleanse the world of evil by murdering a large number of criminals. When the world begins to no7ce the existence of this unknown killer, legendary detec7ve L is brought onto the case; star7ng a war between "Kira" and L. Whoever is able to
find out the others iden7ty first will be the one to survive. Based on the manga by Tsugumi
Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
It has a lot of death obviously and murder, it’s a mystery anime. I Loved this anime a lot
what will happen next and such was always there. How the Super natural aspect came into
it as well like god’s of death made it more enjoyable then the typical murder mystery stuff.
I recommend it but I’ve heard some people say that it is scary. Hope you enjoy it if you do
chose to watch it.
5 out of 5 because I loved it that much and re watch it over and over.

This Musubi works best with a Hakkata obi., and I
found it was handy to have someone standing by to
lend a hand at one or to points. Good luck.
