Already made several flowers from satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique. Continuing experiments on creating pansies from various materials, we couldn’t ignore the design of these flowers from ribbons. Options for assembling the flowers themselves, color scheme, combinations of petals, a lot. Let's focus on the methods we like the most.
To work you will need:
Lighter or candle
Satin ribbons, 5 cm wide,
Threads to match
Universal transparent waterproof glue or glue gun.
Cut the satin ribbons into squares. The number of square blanks varies depending on the expected number of petals in the flower. The flower itself can be created from several rows of petals.
Fold the square in half diagonally.
Then again.
Lift the “bottom” ends up, making a small pinch at the base.
And then down. Wrinkles form on the workpiece. Pull the corners themselves to the base.
Secure with lighter fire or glue.
Trim the base of the petal (the size of the corner is not important).
I would like to note that it is not necessary to fold the petals in exactly this shape. Make any other petal, sharp or round. The main thing is a successful combination, which allows you to make the set of prepared blanks in the final result similar or reminiscent of a real flower.
If desired, add additional round or sharp parts to the main types of petals.
Arrange the petals to your liking, following the color scheme of the original flowers.
A flower with pink and white petals is created from two rows of petals. Colored (blue-yellow) - from one row.
Gather the pieces sequentially onto the thread using a thin, sharp needle.
Hello, dear friends! How are you feeling? New Year is it felt? It’s not at all clear to us that winter has come, although today - lo and behold))) the first and so long-awaited snowflakes flew, but alas, they immediately melted on the ground. So my daughter’s dream has not yet come true, in terms of building a snowman and playing in the snow)))
It turns out that this flower is not only purple-yellow, but the eyes simply cannot get enough of all the colors and charms of these flowers. This is how we are used to seeing forget-me-nots, so to speak. classic style).
And there are also pansies, completely blue, dark burgundy, white, yellow with black splashes, blue with black, you can’t list them all.
I decided to make Kanzashi pansies in the classic style, that is, take the usual colors of purple and yellow. You can make it from ribbons various types flowers, I recently showed you.
It turns out very beautifully and you can use such a flower not only to decorate your hair, but also to collect a basket of flowers from them and give them as a gift. to a loved one for the holiday.
To make a pansy flower from satin ribbons we will need:
- ribbon purple 5 cm wide
- yellow ribbon 5 cm wide.
- Middle (mine is dark blue)
- Stamens (mine are silver) per flower 2 pieces
- Felt white or purple
- Glue gun
- Scissors
- Candle
- Tweezers
- Hair band medium
Ribbon pansies
First, we cut the purple and yellow ribbon into squares, 5 by 5 cm wide. For one color we will need 11 purple squares and 2 yellow ones. Burn the edges of the squares on the candle.
We will form the flower from round kanzashi petals. To do this, fold the square of the tape into a triangle, then bend one edge of the triangle into left side and fold it in the form of an accordion, do the same with the second edge of the triangle.
After forming a round petal, cut off the excess, grab the edges with tweezers and scorch it on a candle to secure it. If necessary, cut off the protruding part on the back side of the petal, and also scorch it on a candle.
It will be seen in more detail and more clearly in my video lesson, so don’t despair if suddenly you couldn’t repeat it from the photographs, after watching the video you will succeed 100%.
In this way, all petals are formed: 11 purple and 2 yellow.
We warm up the glue gun and begin to collect the forget-me-not flower. First we glue two yellow petals, add another purple one to them, this will be like the base of a pansy.
Now we simply grease the tips of the purple petals and place them under the resulting base in a circle. Here you need to independently adjust the shape of the flower so that it turns out neat and beautiful.
When all the petals have been glued, you need to cut out a small circle from felt according to the diameter of your center and glue it with hot glue to the center.
Now take the stamens in your hands, bend them in half, you should get 4 pieces at the top, since we took double stamens. We twist them at the bottom, fasten them half a centimeter to the bottom with a small strip of felt with glue, and cut off the remaining threads sticking out with scissors.
We glue the stamens to the middle, and now we glue the middle itself onto the kanzashi pansies so that the stamens are directed towards the yellow petals.
Now cut out a circle with a diameter of 3.5-4 cm from felt and glue it to the back of the forget-me-not flower. We cut out a strip of felt 1 cm wide and 3 cm long and, after threading the strip through an elastic band, grease it with glue and glue it to the round felt base on the flower.
Instead of an elastic band, you can use any hairpin that is convenient for you. Pansies made from satin ribbons can also be decorated using acrylic paint.
For example, paint around the edges of the petals with glitter paint, it will be very beautiful, I want to buy myself a set in the near future acrylic paints especially for decorating kanzashi. You can also make it sunny spring flower - .

Bright and delicate pansies embroidered with satin ribbons will not only decorate your clothes, but will also help you diversify some of the decorative details of your interior, making it more stylish and sophisticated. Therefore, now we will present to your attention a small master class with which you can decorate small sofa cushions by embroidering a charming flower arrangement on them. 
Pillowcase with delicate pansies
Before we start our training master class, let's prepare everything necessary materials and tools that may be useful to us when creating ribbon embroidery:
- plain pillowcase for decorative pillow or fabric to create it (we used the material white) hoop;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- lighter or matches;
- needle with a wide eye;
- grass green, lilac, pink, light and dark yellow satin ribbons, rich bright yellow ribbons;
- green and purple threads.
To make our embroidery more neat and symmetrical, we will need a small diagram. Therefore, before we start decorating the pillowcase, let's first make a schematic sketch on the fabric. Since the pattern directly depends on the size of the future pillow, we recommend that you transfer our pattern to the pillowcase yourself. To make it easier for you to “orient yourself”, you can look at the photo of the finished work. 
Once the diagram of the heart we have chosen is redrawn onto the fabric, we can begin work.
First of all, using the usual
, we will have to embroider branches. 
In the photo below you can see that we only embroidered 4 branches, but you can easily do more if you wish. 
In addition, depending on the size of the pillowcase, you can make your branches longer and thicker yourself.
Also please note special attention to the fact that in this diagram, redrawn on fabric, we marked with dots the places in which the pansies will then “bloom.” 
As you probably already noticed, we will make 3 flowers on each side of our heart. So, pansies will consist of ribbons of different colors: pink and yellow, lilac and yellow, lilac and pink.
For the first flower, we will cut 2 pieces from different ribbons (7cm and 10cm). 
Attention! Do not forget to treat their ends with a lighter, as otherwise they may “crumble”.
Then you will need to make the bottom part of the flower. Take a 7 centimeter ribbon and, folding it at a right angle, secure it with a pin as shown in this photo. 
After this, use a basting stitch to sew the ribbon: first diagonally from one corner, then along the very edge and again diagonally.
Now prepare a 10 cm tape for work: mentally divide it into 3 equal parts, fold the sides down and secure with pins.
Sew the ribbon as shown in the photo. 
After this, all the fragments you have stitched will need to be carefully pulled together and hemmed. 
As a result, you got 2 parts of one flower, one of which consists of 3 petals, and the second of two.
Next you will need to connect them into one. To do this, you will need to overlap the three-petal piece with the two-petal one and sew them together. 
We remind you that you will need a total of 6 of these flowers. The procedure for making the rest of the pansies remains the same; you just need to change the color scheme.
Once the pansies are ready, you will need to place them in the right places and secure them with pins. 
Next, you will need a bright yellow four-millimeter ribbon, with which you will make a colonial knot to replace the core for each flower.
First, bring the ribbon to front side in the very center of the flower and place the needle directly on the ribbon. Then pick up the tape with a needle, “moving” away from you. 
Take the ribbon with the fingers of your left hand and pass it behind the point of the needle so that it lies in a figure eight. Then carefully pull up the resulting knot and insert the needle as close as possible to the place where the ribbon comes out. 
After you return the needle to wrong side you will see a small colonial nodule that will replace the core embroidered with ribbons flower. 
You will need to supplement all the pansies that decorate your heart with such cores. 
In order for our ribbon embroidery to look more believable and realistic, we need to additionally decorate each flower. To do this, you will need purple threads, with which you will sew straight stitches in the direction from the core to the petals. Thanks to this, the pansies will become much more beautiful and will also be sewn on more firmly. 
At this stage, our small master class can be considered almost complete because all we have to do is embroider the leaves. To create them, we will take a grass green ribbon (7 mm) and, using a single loop stitch, we will make the required number of leaves. 
Since our embroidery was not very large, we made 3 leaves next to each flower, but you can easily increase or, conversely, decrease the number of leaves. 
In addition, you can further decorate the leaves and embroider several stitches on them in the form of a regular “chicken foot”. 
Our ribbon embroidery is ready.
As a result, we got this wonderful pillowcase for a small decorative pillow.
To learn how to embroider satin ribbons beautiful and delicate pansies, you can also watch a short training video.
Video: Embroidering pansies smoothly with ribbons
Please note that in our master class we first made two-lobed and three-lobed parts and only then, after connecting them together, we sewed them to the fabric. In this video, the master sews each petal separately, making the upper petals small and the lower petal larger and more voluminous.
In addition, in this video clip, the center of the flower is decorated with a French knot while we used colonial nodules. Also bright distinctive feature In this video, the needlewoman painted the lower petal with black paint, thereby making it more similar to the original created by nature.
In the end, I would like to note that it does not matter at all which method of creating pansies you choose, because the main thing is that you like your work first of all. We, in turn, wish you creative success and more original, bright ideas!

Iridescent ribbons are perfect for new pansies on a vintage crochet purse.
Since pansies bloom in early spring and summer, these fragrant tiny garden flowers with their smiling faces and colorful petals are a harbinger of good weather. While wandering along a path dotted with pansies, watch them, pay attention to their color scheme, so that when creating these amazing flowers from ribbons, you can reproduce the color as accurately as possible. Don't ignore unusual colors - calm peach, lavender, rust or burgundy - use them alongside traditional purple and yellow.
In the “language of flowers,” which came to us from the Victorian era, pansies are a symbol of thoughtfulness. Wrap the pansies in a decorative napkin, tie a ribbon around the stems, and give them to someone special to you.
Pansies look stunning in a tiny clear vase paired with a few U-gathered flowers. Individually, pansies can be used as lovely flower brooches, or they can be combined into a composition and framed. Mix colors to create a two-tone effect. Before cutting the ribbon, determine which color will work best for the outer petals. To obtain life-size pansies, use ribbons 3 cm wide. The leaves of the flower resemble the shape of a sail. whose width is 3 cm and length 12.5 cm,
1. The creation of each flower went through two phases using the U-shaped gathering technique. First, two rear petals are made, and then three front ones. For the back petals, cut a piece of ribbon 16 cm long and 3 cm wide. 2. Remove the wire from the side where the ribbon gathers and bend it in the middle (8 cm).
3. Stitch with two U-curves, leaving a 3mm seam allowance on each raw edge. Gather the ribbon tightly as you sew; when it is all gathered, secure it.
4. Attach these petals to the circle of beading around the edge of the gather. Set aside.
5. Cut a ribbon 30 cm long and 3 cm wide for the front petals.
6. Remove the wire from the edge of the gather. Divide the tape into three parts from left to right into lengths of 8, 10 and 8 cm.
7. Stitch in three U-curves, leaving a 3mm seam allowance on each raw edge.
8. After each petal, gather the ribbon tightly, and when finished, secure the thread. Connect those two edges by making the last stitch over the first. The center should be quite tight. Another option: wind the thread through the center of the flower, catching the folds of the tape at the very edge of the center and at the same time stretching the thread.
9. Decorate the center of the front leaves with a bead, one or two stamens, or embroider French knots with a 4 mm wide silk ribbon.
10. Position the front petals so that on the side they are slightly lower than the rear petals. Sew them on.
11. Trim off the excess trim and glue the tape to the back of the flower.
12. If you decide to plant pansies on stems, make a hook at the end of #32 wire. Sew or glue the trim to it before attaching the tape.
13. Fold the raw edges of the tape that will cover the border, make a hole in the center and insert the stem into it. Glue or sew the ribbon to the base of the flower.
14. Wrap the stems with wrapping tape, silk tape cut on the bias, or pearl cotton thread, or sew tubes from the tape cut on the bias if you want to make a bouquet of pansies.

We create using the kanzashi technique: pansy flowers from satin ribbons
Ribbon pansies
The petals of these flowers have different colors. They may have blue, dark burgundy, speckled yellow and others interesting combinations. This master class will show you the classic method of making pansies in purple and yellow. rest assured that the craft will turn out very beautiful and bright. This flower can be used both for a hairpin and headband, or simply in a bouquet that can be presented for any occasion. For work we will need the following materials:
First of all, we need to cut the purple and yellow ribbon into squares measuring five by five centimeters. In the first color it is necessary to cut eleven blanks, and in the second only two. Burn the edges of these elements with the fire of a lighter.
We form pansies from rounded kanzashi petals. Roll the square piece into triangular shape, and then bend one end to the left, folding it like an accordion. Carry out similar manipulations with the other edge of the triangular element.
After you have formed a rounded petal, trim off the excess tissue with scissors, holding the workpiece with tweezers. Next, scorch the product again with a lighter to secure it more securely. If necessary, then cut off the protruding part of the satin from the wrong side of the workpiece. As always, do not forget to scorch any movement with flame. For those who have not had time to understand how certain manipulations are done, we suggest watching the video lesson that will be shown in our article.
You must form eleven purple petals and two yellow ones exactly as described above. Now heat up the glue and start assembling the pansies. First, glue 2 yellow elements, adding to them the same one, but only purple. We made the base of the kanzashi flower.
Next, lubricate the edges of the petals and apply the remaining pieces to them one by one, doing this clockwise. Adjust the shape of the kanzashi pansies yourself so that the bud looks neat and beautiful.
After you have glued all the components of the kanzashi flower, cut out a small felt circle so that its diameter matches the forget-me-not, and then glue it with a glue gun.
Pre-prepared stamens need to be bent in half so that there are four things at the top. Twist them at the bottom and secure with a felt strip coated with glue. Cut off the threads that remain sticking out. Glue the stamens in the center of the pansies so they face the yellow petals.
Cut another circle from felt, but only four centimeters in diameter and glue it on the wrong side of this flower. You also need a strip of felt, which is attached to the base of the product. To decorate your craft, you can apply glitter paint to the edges of the petals. It looks very bright and elegant. The video lessons below will show in detail how experienced needlewomen make pansies using the kanzashi technique.

Video tutorials on creating kanzashi “Pansies”
First you need to learn how to make fan-shaped petals. To do this, cut the tape into 5 by 5 cm squares. Fold this piece diagonally and you will get a triangle. Now fold this triangle into a fan. Using tweezers, pinch it, stepping back 1 cm from the edge, and cut off all excess. Now burn the edges with a lighter. This way you need to make 2 yellow petals. Fold three triangles from the purple ribbon and overlap the black triangles on them. Form them into a fan. Cut off all excess, and then melt it with a lighter. You will get a double petal. How to do this can be seen in the photo.
This tutorial for making pansies from satin ribbons is the simplest. If desired, you can make more complex flowers. For this, the petals are made in exactly the same way as in the first case. In this case, you need to glue not 3 petals, but 5. Choose the appropriate ones color combinations under certain clothes. This master class is more complex, but involves the use of fan petals. How to make them is shown in the video. This is one of the most simple techniques obtaining voluminous petals.
Pansies made from ribbons: master class, description, photo
To many craftswomen who deal with decoration home interior or creating interesting items of clothing, I love ribbon pansies. A master class that would consistently talk about the process of this type of work is simply necessary. After all, it is almost impossible to independently guess how the stitches and seams are made, how the ribbon is folded and how the flowers themselves and their bouquets are formed.
What types of tapes are suitable for the job?
When faced with the need to choose a material for embroidery, you can really get confused. Today, the range of specialized stores is so wide that once you enter one of them, it is impossible to leave without purchasing something.
In fact, you can choose almost any material to make pansies from ribbons (the master class offered below illustrates working with satin ribbons). Here preference is given to those materials that suit the craftswoman in color, texture and width. You can buy tape from:
Each of these materials contains synthetic fibers, which is very good for the future product. Artificial materials do not fade, do not stretch, do not deform, that is, the work done will be preserved for a long time.
Material width value
The most commonly used tapes are sizes 3, 5, 7, 12, 15 millimeters. For example, a 7 mm wide ribbon was used to embroider “Pansies” with ribbons (the master class is given below). Material of this size fits perfectly into the eye of an embroidery needle and also does not cause problems when draping.
But to create flowers for subsequent attachment to the canvas, it is better to choose a wider material. By the way, ribbons can be combined: wide ones for large petals, narrower ones for smaller ones or for leaves.
Finding two-color ribbons can be considered real luck. Gradient dyeing is great for creating flowers like pansies from ribbons. The master classes in this article are based on the use of just such materials. Most often, flowers are made using ribbon embroidery techniques.
Pansies made from ribbons: master class. Photos step by step and description of stages
To create such a flower, you don’t have to be an ace in embroidery. Using simple stitches and basic techniques, you can make your own ribbon pansies. The master class is quite simple:
- On the base canvas, mark the middle of the future flower and the top of each petal.
- Attach the ribbon in the center, leaving a knot on the wrong side.
- Lay the ribbon so that it forms a free-lying stitch, and then stick the needle into the point designated as the top of the petal. In this case, the resulting stitch should be pierced.
- Very carefully pull the tape to the wrong side, making sure that the front side is smooth. The tape is pulled until the roller forms an acute angle.
This technique is used to embroider all the petals of pansies. First, they make those that are conventionally directed at 10, 12 and 2 o'clock (taking the classic arrangement of numbers on the dial as a guide). Then they return to those looking at 11 and 1 o'clock. Later the remaining petals, stem and buds are embroidered.
The center of such flowers is made using a “French knot”. The principle of its formation is shown in the photo.
Textile ribbon flower
If you were unable to buy the material shown in the photo, do not be upset. You can choose two shades of the same color to make ribbon pansies. The master class includes a simple algorithm that will remain unchanged, you just need to use different tapes to create petals of the first and second levels.
To work you should prepare:
Where to start?
Each flower is attached to thick fabric. If it is part of any composition, you can perform it directly on a large canvas. However, you should start forming flowers on separate rectangles when independent ribbon pansies are required. The master class (photo can be found below) offers just such an option.
First of all, you should cut off a piece of tape from which large petals of the second level will be made. As a rule, in fresh flowers they have more dark color than the middle. The tape is folded at an angle (pictured on the left) and stitched along the line marked with a dotted line. The finished fragment is fixed on the base fabric.
Next, cut off a longer strip and fold it into a rectangle with two corners. Secure the folds with pins and stitch along the dotted line (the line goes along the dark side). The second petal of the first layer is made in the same way, but the tape is folded so that the stitching falls on the light side.
They make the middle: a bright yellow ribbon is tied in a knot and placed so that it is visible between the petals. Then the remaining parts are fixed.
Other secrets of ribbon flowers
The flower is ready, it can be attached with a glue gun or thread to almost any base.
An alternative method is shown in the photo.
The darkened centers are obtained by banal coloring finished products marker. However, this is only relevant for panels and paintings. To avoid color transfer when washing decorated clothes, it is better to dye flowers with special fabric paints.
One of the most beautiful primroses is viola. This curious flower thickly covers the flower beds and looks at us with a bright eye. Those who want to learn how to make kanzashi pansies to decorate their image will need detailed master classes. You can find them in this article.
Origins of technology
The word kanzashi itself came to us from Japan. At first it was called stick-shaped hairpins, decorated with simple elements - wooden beads and metal trim. Japanese culture is so multifaceted that each caste wore its own type of hairpins, which differed not only in decoration, but also in material. Their number in the hairstyle was also important.
With the advent of silk brought from China, hairpins began to be decorated in a special way. Craftsmen created unique compositions from small pieces of fabric. They were folded in a special way and glued together using rice glue. Each master independently dyed pieces of silk using natural dyes. They tried to create compositions as close as possible to real flowers. Traditional clothing began to consist not only of a kimono, but also of kanzashi, decorated with complex and rich floral motifs. In Japan, it is customary to distribute the traditional calendar into 28 seasons. For each season, a certain shade of clothing and symbolism is selected, for example, March is characterized by yellow kimonos and hairpins decorated with peach flowers, daffodils and peonies. Quite often, butterflies, birds and dragonflies are made using the kanzashi technique, which are an indispensable adornment for Japanese women.
Gradually, the art of kanzashi penetrated into Europe and was greatly liked by the simplicity of the technique and the indescribable beauty of the finished products. Europeans did not attribute any sacred meaning to the art of creating flowers from fabric, so for convenience they used satin ribbons made in factories. The technique itself transformed and changed, and floral arrangements became decorations not only for hairstyles, but also for clothing, jewelry, and interior decoration.
Besides traditional colors A wide variety of products appeared - crowns, snowflakes, boxes, various interior compositions.
Materials for work
Modern needlewomen have a large selection of materials in their arsenal. You can successfully use both factory-made fabric such as satin, brocade, organza, and ribbons made from these materials. To fasten the petals, use special tweezers with long narrowed noses.
The work uses sharp scissors and glue. You can use either “Moment Crystal” or hot glue. Parts can not only be glued together, but also connected by stitching.
Pay attention! Be sure to choose matching threads so that they do not spoil the neat appearance of the product.
The variety of modern fittings makes jewelry unique. It is enough to simply change the color of the rhinestone from the core of the flower, and it will become unique. Artificial stamens, sewn and glued rhinestones, sequins, beads and half-beads, and beads are used. The abundance of accessories for making jewelry also expands the possibilities of using ready-made flowers. You can use them to make hairpins, earrings, brooches, and rings. Or decorate the headband, elastic band, hair bun. Creative ideas know no boundaries. You can verify this by looking at the photos of products made using the kanzashi technique.
Making blanks
Try creating a pansy flower using the kanzashi technique and you will simply fall in love with it. will help you detailed master class With step by step photos. Where to use the flower-shaped blank is up to you to decide.
To complete the job you will need:
- Tweezers with long ends;
- Sharp scissors;
- Candle;
- Light silk cord;
- Glue (hot or “Moment”);
- Satin ribbons.
All parts are cut in the form of squares from satin ribbons. You need to make two yellow and three purple squares with a side of 5 cm (ribbon width 5 cm), three black pieces with a side of 3 cm.
Take the yellow blank in your hands and fold it into a triangle.
Place a neat fold in the center of the petal, while bending its ends down.
Place the side folds again, first raising the ends, then lowering them. The result is a fan like this.
Fold the corners to the central part of the workpiece, pinch with tweezers and cut off the excess. Solder the ends using a candle flame.
Make a second petal.
Fold the black and purple squares into triangles. Place the parts on top of each other as shown in the photo.
Repeat the steps you followed to create the yellow petal.
The lowest petal of the flower has a small hollow in the middle. To follow its natural curves, bend the middle part of the petal with your fingers. Grab the fabric with tweezers and melt it pointwise over the candle. It should look like this.
