Kanzashi flowers!

These Kanzashi flowers are so pretty! They are made with starched one inch squares of fabric- preferably japanese kimono fabric. (I am sure starched cotton or silk could also be used.

Here is a link to a flicker group that shows flowers and variations too. Imagine the possiblilities.

This would be a neat motif or brooch. Imagine these matching a little girl's dress. I can even imagine them with five petals formed to look like a fan.

If you make any of these and post pics please send me a message and I will link to your blog or page.
