Tsumami Kanzashi are traditional Japanese folded flowers, made from small squares of silk, that are typically worn by women as hair ornaments in traditional hairstyles.
They seem really complicated and intricate, and they can certainly be that if you really want but it completely doesn't need to be. I love to make them out of cotton prints that are fun and bright, in addition to scraps of silk and other light fabrics.
Originally brooch made, shared and design by sh-yn design.
