Woohoo~~~ made my second Tsumami Kanzashi today. *beams* Tsumami kanzashi literally means, "folded fabric hair ornament". Tsumami kanzashi are made from tiny (usually 1") squares of silk which are folded into petals using origami techniques. Flowers are made from these folded fabric petals and may contain anywhere from five petals to 75 or more, depending on the particular flower made.

I didn't managed to take a photo of the first one cause I showed it to Tim the other day but left it in his car... hehe.. Will try to put up a photo once I get it back :p

This second one is made using a type of Thai silk cloth. There are many types of petal folding for Tsumami Kanzashi. This one is known as pointed petal or Kiku (Chrysanthemum) Kanzashi.

Here's the first Tsumami Kanzashi that I made. I used the round petal type of folding.



Here's my kawaii model with the kanzashi... :p
