Kanzashi, anyone?

This is part origami, part sewing. Fun :-)

I saw this in a book once and thought it'd be nice to make some. This is the 2nd one I made, the first had 8 pointy petals. I prefer this 6 round petal one. I ran out of 18mm cover buttons for the centre but found this blue button and it seems to go.

You can't tell from the pic but it's less than 5cm across. One petal was made from a square with that length. I'll practise a bit more then put these on magnets, elastic hair ties and snappy hair clips. Or maybe put them on totes?

So many ideas. Oh, since I'm dreaming up new stuff...watch this space for some bag organisers :-)

Have a blessed day!
