Hair clip with a lush blue dahlia made of satin ribbons. Master class on dahlias made from satin ribbon: detailed manufacturing instructions and various techniques for making flowers Flowers made from dahlia mk ribbons

Today I will show you how to grow satin ribbon dahlias in your garden. I spent three days creating these flowers, and at the same time preparing a master class. Have patience, you will really need it. The work will be painstaking, but you will like the result - the flowers look as if they were alive! Whether it is true or not is up to you to judge!

Let's get started. For work we will need: a ribbon 2.5 cm wide, a ribbon 1 cm wide in the middle for flowers and tools. In this master class we will definitely need a soldering iron or burner.

In this MK I will show two types of petals and two different flowers.

First petal.

Cut pieces 6 cm long.

We turn the segment towards us with the wrong side, mentally mark the middle and from it, in turn, bend the corners diagonally.

Now, once again, we will bend the corners one by one, as shown in the photo.

Now we fold the marked corners, this is what we got.

Cut off the excess and singe the cut.

The wrong side of the petal. Please note: I marked the corner that we got; in the next flower we will coat it with glue and glue it. Just remember this.

Second petal.

We do everything the same (the first 4 steps).

Here's a comparison.

First flower!

Let's prepare approximately 55-60 petals (method 2).

We make a base with a diameter of 5 cm, the color is not important, because... everything will be closed afterwards.

We begin to glue the petals, layer by layer in a circle.

Glued 4 layers.

Now we begin to make the middle, cut a ribbon of two colors 1 cm wide and approximately 15 cm long.

Use a soldering iron to make the cuts by eye.

Then fold the ribbon in half and twist it.

This is what should happen.

Glue the middle in a circle.

Then we glue our main petals between the petals of the 1st row.

We got this middle ground.

We coat it well with glue and glue the middle into the center of our flower.

It remains to glue the last row, turn our flower over and glue the petals between the petals of the previous row.

That's it. Now we turn the flower over to face us and.. This is the dahlia we grew in our garden! We applaud!!!

My dahlia is on Amazon.

On the model!

Second flower.

Let's prepare about 90 petals using the first method. 18 petals are the same color, the rest are a shade darker.

We start preparing this dahlia from the middle.

We cut the tape 1 cm wide and also use a soldering iron to make slits. Fold the ribbon in half and twist the middle.

Now let's prepare fringe of two colors. We choose colors like this: one color is light, the second is the same color as the light petals. Cut two strips of 15 cm approximately: 1. 1.5 cm wide, 2. 1 cm wide.

Use a soldering iron to cut randomly into strips.

And we’ll twist the ends, you can even use your hands, I twisted them with tweezers.

We glue our fringe around the middle, first light, then dark.

We cover our center in a circle with light petals.

Now we glue the second row between the petals, but note that I have already turned the petals over. We glue this row and the subsequent ones with the corner that I marked at the beginning of the MK!!! There is no need to coat the entire petal!

The ribbon flower proposed in this lesson, made using the kanzashi technique, resembles appearance lush dahlia. You will not find such an original copy on sale; you can only make it yourself. To do this, we present in detail all stages of implementation. The highlight of the product is the harmonious combination of shades: the color smoothly transitions from dark green to light green. A bright dahlia will perfectly decorate a bag or belt, or become a decoration for hair or interior design.

To make a dahlia with a diameter of 14 cm, prepare the following:

• Dark green satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide - 2.4 m.
• Light green satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide - 1.5 m.
• Light green satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide - 1.75 m.
• Golden brocade ribbon 5 cm wide - 0.3 m.
• Decorative stamens with yellow tips – 15 pieces.
• Hot-melt gun and glue for it.
• Sharpened scissors with straight and curved blades.
• Lighter/candle.
• White or green felt - a circle 4 cm in diameter.

How to make dahlia kanzashi from satin ribbons:

1. Cut three types of 2.5 cm ribbons into pieces to create the required number of petals in the form of thin tubes. Cut 48 rectangles 5 cm long from dark green satin, all other pieces should be the same length. 30 light green parts are needed, and 35 light green parts.
2. Using curved scissors, cut each piece so that you get a blank for the petal. All cuts must be refined using a lighter flame. You should also additionally singe the edges of the petals and stretch the warm fabric to obtain a wavy effect. The photo shows the lines that should be followed during further processing of the workpieces. Mentally dividing the straight side of each petal into three parts, bend the outer edges and glue them overlapping, forming tubes.
3. Prepare 48 dark green tubes for the bottom of the flower. There should be 30 light green ones. Light green – 35 elements.
4. The brocade ribbon will make the finished product sparkle. Cut the 5 cm wide tape into 12 pieces, retreating 2.5 cm. Cut off one of the edges. The resulting pieces should be disassembled into separate threads. To do this, pull out the transverse threads from the blanks. But leave a few threads at the remaining edge so that the workpiece does not fall apart.

   

5. Cut out a circle from felt. This will become the base of the dahlia.
6. Start attaching the petals, distributing them evenly around the circumference. In the first step, use dark green parts.
7. Fill the entire space with the first layer. The petals of the initial tier (there will be 16 of them) must be placed at the very edge of the circle, retreating by 4-5 cm.
8. Attach the second layer of the same number of petals on top, without retreating to the center, but moving the elements to the side in a checkerboard pattern.

   

9. Glue 4 pieces of fluffed brocade ribbon in the next tier around the circumference. Clearly align the golden layer with the dark green, do not retreat to the center of the composition.
10. Glue the last dark green layer of 16 petals on top. Attach the light green tier of 16 pieces, moving the pieces 2mm towards the center.
11. Add a second portion of brocade (4 fluffed elements).
12. Divide the remaining light green petals into two parts of 7 pieces and glue them on top, moving 2 mm to the center.

    

13. Prepare the stamens with yellow tips.
14. Fold each one in half and glue it to the yellow piece.
15. Glue 20 light green petals without stamens to the central part of the flower, moving the lightest layer to the center. Divide into two portions of 10 pieces and glue, moving the parts in a checkerboard pattern. Add the remaining brocade.
16. Glue the petals with stamens into a single flower. Glue the stamens as the center part of the dahlia.

    

Shared master class

Kanzashi (Kandzashi) is a traditional women's hair ornament, originally from Japan. However, now this term refers to various hairpins and other decorations made from satin ribbons wrapped in a special way. Nowadays there are many needlewomen who make kanzashi. In my master class I want to show you one of the types of dahlia kanzashi - dahlia with sharp petals.

Dahlia using kanzashi technique – master class

Here's what we need to make it:

• satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide;
• glue gun;
• scissors;
• glue;
• ruler;
• warp;
• center for the flower;
• lighter or candle.

Let's start making:

1. We cut the satin ribbon into 6 cm strips, 36 pieces in total.
2. Take one strip and fold it in half with the wrong side facing in.

3. Now we cut off the corner and process the edge (that is, carefully burn it with a candle or lighter).

4. This is what we should get.

5. We fold one corner of this petal towards the middle, then the second and process it so that the corners do not diverge.

6. It turns out to be such a petal. We repeat the manipulations with all the stripes and get 36 petals. Try to keep all the petals as similar in size and shape as possible.
7. Now we make the base: cut out a circle from thick fabric 2-3 cm in diameter to match the color of the flower.

8. We can start collecting the flower. We glue 12 petals (first row) onto the base.
9. Glue the second row on top between the petals.

10. We also glue the third row between the petals.

11. All that remains is to glue the decorative center.

Our dahlia kanzashi made from ribbons is ready, as you can see, it’s not that difficult to make. With this flower we can decorate a headband, a hair clip or elastic band, a headband, or use the flower to decorate clothes.

Kanzashi are Japanese traditional women's hair clips. These flowers are made from fabric and satin ribbons. The material is cut into squares, from which petals are formed. You can make flowers either single-layer or multi-layer, for example, dahlia.

The emergence of this technique

This type of decoration has been used for more than 400 years. These decorations were worn with a kimono. Kanzashi were made from silver, wood, etc. A special place is occupied by Hana kanzashi - these are hairpins with flowers made of fabric. These hairpins were made of silk. The petals were folded and the result was wonderful flowers. One of these flowers is the Kanzashi dahlia.

Today we will make mk dahlia kanzashi variety “Natalie” - this is one of the most beautiful varieties of this flower.

Dahlia kanzashi variety "Natalie"

To create such a flower you will need:

First, cut 96 pieces of 5 cm length. Trim the corner on one side.

Now you need to carefully singe the edges on both sides.

Start collecting the flower. To do this, take one piece and fold the uncut edges inward, directly overlapping.

Repeat this action with all the leaves. Mark exactly four points on Fet.

Glue four petals to the marked points, and then 12 more petals. In general, there should be 16 pieces in the first row.

For the seventh row, you need to glue two petals at the base. In this row there will be stamens and petals mixed together. You need 20 petals and 10 paired petals.

That's it, the flower is ready. The diameter of the flower was 13 cm.

Make crafts from different ribbons and decorate your home. For more explanation, look at the end of the article dahlia kanzashi video master class.

Experiment and create unusual products using the kanzashi technique. Use them to decorate hairpins, hairpins, boxes, glasses and much more. Using the kanzashi technique, you will give yourself a unique look and attract all attention to you.

Multi-layering will give the dahlia a unique image, which will make the flower come to life.

By adding a little rhinestones you will immediately give it a festive look.

This flower will look good on a headband or elastic band. How do you like this video?

The art of kanzashi originated in medieval Japan, where every lady wore massive jewelry made from precious pieces of Chinese silk. Each element had a deep sacred meaning - the color, the size, and the number of decorations in the hairstyle were important. Once in Europe, ancient art was transformed and ceased to be of a religious nature. Contemporary kanzashi art involves the creation of jewelry for hairstyles, hairpins, headbands, brooches, and interior items. We invite you to take a master class on dahlias from satin ribbon, which replaced the traditional pieces of silk. The created artificial buds can be used to make hairpins or brooches, or to make curtain tiebacks. This entertaining activity will not leave you indifferent and will bring a lot of pleasure.

A little about the flower

Dahlia is a guest from sunny Mexico. Surprisingly, we are accustomed to this plant as a beautiful inhabitant of the garden, and the ancient Indians used its rhizomes to prepare various dishes and treat serious diseases. The hollow stems of the dahlia, or dahlia as it is otherwise known, were used to float underwater as breathing tubes.

When European conquerors arrived in America, the Indians introduced them to dalia as a food crop. The samples brought to Europe did not arouse the appetite even among gourmets from France, but gardeners were very fond of the multi-colored heads of the plant. Breeders used the botanical species to produce a mass of hybrids. At the moment, there are over 15 thousand varieties of amazing dahlia. They are selected into groups depending on the structure of the flower basket. The most popular are pompom, spherical and needle-shaped dahlias.

And one more interesting fact about the Mexican guest. We are used to seeing bushes from 40 to 150 cm in height, decorated with bright heads. But in nature there is a wild species, Dalia Imperialis, whose height reaches 6 meters!

Needle dalia

We invite you to study a master class on making a fancy blue needle dahlia flower. Why fantasy? The fact is that dahlias with blue buds do not exist in nature, and the work of breeders in this area has not yet been crowned with success.

To create a flower you will need:

• blue satin ribbon 5 cm wide;
• sharp scissors;
• tweezers;
• round felt base;
• candle;
• hot glue;
• thin white ribbons and beads for decoration.

The number of flower petals you will make depends on the desired size of the bud.

Cut the blue ribbon into 10 cm long rectangles.

Fold along the long side facing inward. Remove a piece at an angle to the fold as shown in the photo.

Melt the edges of the resulting part by soldering them together.

Turn it inside out, turn it away from you and fold both edges towards the middle.

Connect the edges by heating over the flame of a candle or lighter.

Tuck the protruding center inside. The petal is ready.

Prepare the required number of elements and begin assembly.

Carefully glue the first row of blue petals to the felt circle.

Arrange the second row of the whisk in a checkerboard pattern.

Glue beads and satin ribbons of a contrasting shade into the middle of the bud.

The fancy blue dalia is ready! It will make a luxurious brooch; you just need to attach the appropriate fittings to the base.

Scarlet Bud

Making a pompom dahlia with an interesting petal shape is very simple. Follow the instructions with the photo, and you will definitely succeed.

For work take:

• scarlet satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide;
• sharp scissors;
• a piece of green ribbon;
• large bead;
• tweezers and soldering iron;
• glue (“Moment”, hot).

Prepare 10 pieces of scarlet ribbon, 8 and 9 cm long. Fold the piece at a right angle, then fold it again.

Make two folds on the front side of the petal, tucking the edges towards the middle. Process with a soldering iron.

Process each workpiece.

Using a soldering iron, cut a circle with a diameter of 4 cm from a piece of green ribbon.

Solder the petals onto the workpiece, arranging them in rows from large to small.

Each subsequent row should fill the empty spaces of the previous one.

The last petals are attached with glue.

To hide the middle, glue a large bead.

The lush scarlet bud is ready! It can be successfully used to decorate a headband or glued to a ribbon to make a tieback for curtains.

Holly-leaved dahlia

Another option for making a lush basket with sharp petals.

You will need all the same materials, only you need a pink ribbon with a width of 5 cm and 2.5 cm. You also need three green squares with a side of 5 cm.

Fold the cut pieces, 5 cm long, in half, right side out. Cut the edge at an acute angle and use a soldering iron.
