Crafty things: A new Kanzashi & matching eye make up!


Hello! 

I was having a little clean out last week of all my fabrics and found a beautiful lilac floral one which I immediately thought would be perfect for a Kanzashi

I did have to dig out my 'Kanazashi in bloom' book as I admit I forgot how to do it :P

If you want to know how to make Kanzashi but don't want to get a book *this* online tutorial is really good.

I snapped off this little skull cameo from an old hair clip I never wear as I think it really sets it off nicely:

Added some felt to the back and sewed on a hair clip:

And here it is on....its kind of massive!

Oh and my Kanzashi inspired me to try out a pink and purple eye look which is something I have never done before:

Sorry my hair is totally disgusting in those pictures.....I badly need a trip to the hairdressers!


Anyhoo I would rate my Kazashi 6/10! I really think I need to start ironing the fabric before I start and the petals in between folds for a neater finish. 

I got some new fabrics and can't wait to make more of them:

Do you think it turned out okay? Would you wear one in your hair? :)
