You will need: ribbons of any material, thread, needle, candle, scissors, rhinestones or beads.

1. Take a wide-sized ribbon and cut it into square patches, burning the cut edges under the flame. Roll the square diagonally and pinch the right corner of the resulting triangle with your finger. Then, wrap one sharp corner and press it to a right angle, then wrap the second corner.
2. Now squeeze the folded corners with your fingers and lightly float them over the fire of the candle so that they stick. In the end, you get one petal for kanzashi flower.

How to make flowers from ribbons - rosette

• It is better to start this rose from the middle, holding the ribbons horizontally, turning it from the right corner in a diagonal direction so that one end remains the size of one and a half centimeters. Now take the ribbon in your left hand, and take the rolled end into the right and fold the ribbon clockwise in one turn. Thus, make two turns to get the heart of the rose. Now holding and squeezing the ribbon, pass the needle and thread through all layers of the ribbon. Make a couple more stitches through the same ribbon and leave the thread hanging loose.
• Let's start work on the rose petals. Take the middle of the ribbon in your right hand, bend the upper edge of the ribbon back with one hand and down with the other. Wrap the tape around the center once. Pass the needle through all the layers near the base of the flower. Make a second stitch through all the layers. Wrap the upper edge of the ribbon down and back again. And again wrap the ribbon in the middle of the rose.

• Secure the petals by making a few stitches. Continue so folding the ribbon with turns, until you get a rosette of the size you need. Cut off excess tape. Leave the end of the length of the width of the ribbon and add another half to two centimeters. Bend the tape back and down. Now wrap the ribbon in such a way as to create a semblance of a petal. The thread must be fastened, for this, make a few stitches on the base of the flower. Secure the thread, then cut the excess thread near the base, trying not to touch the stitches.
