The flower is not very complicated, but making six identical products so that they are a copy of each other is not so simple. Get your hands full by picking up both ponytail and braid elastics with one decorative piece.

If you are an experienced craftswoman, then feel free to take up needlework and pay attention to and.

Collect all materials and accessories for work.

From purple and lilac segments, make a double round kanzashi petal (only six pieces per flower). Fold the squares diagonally.

Fold both resulting triangles together, holding the structure with a clamp or needle, lower the corners down. Round the central gap, pull the ends back, cut off, forming a rounded droplet petal.

From a white ribbon half the size, make simple sharp petals by folding twice diagonally and rounding.

Collect purple roundness on a thread. Small simple sharp petals (6 pieces for each flower) are glued between the round ones.

Glue a beautiful transparent half-bead on a felt circle measuring 2.5 * 2.5 cm and sheathe it with beads. Next, cut around the circumference carefully so as not to touch the threads (you can singe the felt a little from the inside). Glue the resulting decor item onto the water lily hugger.

Decorate the centers of all the flowers for decoration. Cut the felt circles with a diameter of 4 cm prepared for the floating decor in two places to insert the elastic.

Using a glue gun, glue the ends of the elastic to the base. Connect all elements.

Following the master class, make six beautiful floating flowers. They all need to be the same, otherwise the kanzashi-style braid will look messy.

For the top bow, cut the lilac wide and white pieces from the mesh.

Align parts of different textures along the length and assemble volumetric loops, burning the ends with a lighter.

Prepare a batch of lilac and white squares in the indicated sizes to model the beautiful five-layered petals of the central flower.

Bend large and small squares twice.

From the resulting triangles, assemble two sandwiches, overlaying large parts on top of each other and small ones.

Curl the larger part of the petal, cut off the bottom in the form of a boat, do the same with a small slice. Then glue one piece to the other.

Glue eight five-layer elements around the circumference.

Similarly to the sharp white kanzashi petals, collect purple from squares of the same size.

Glue eight purple slices between the large main petals of the flower. Add a felt circle on top.

On the reverse side, also stick a felt circle, but larger.

Make a shining center in the previously indicated way, using a large crystal, a piece of transparent rhinestones and small beads.

Cut the felt along the outline.

Glue to the kanzashi flower on a small felt circle.

Collect a lush bow from previously prepared loops, rewinding the workpiece in the center with a thin satin strip.

Then we lower them to their original place, combing slightly from above, so that no traces of fleece can be seen on the surface. We throw the hair over one shoulder (right or left, to choose from) and make a ponytail, fastening the hair with an elastic band at the ear.

We take the tape and wrap it around the elastic band twice, then fasten it with a knot. We divide the hair into three equal strands (left, right and middle), adding our tape to one. Now weave an ordinary braid in the following way: throw the left strand over the one in the middle, making it a new middle strand.

Step-by-step weaving and diagrams with a description

There are many variations and patterns of weaving braids. Each weave is unique and beautiful in its own way. The most popular options today are: spikelet (French spikelet) and 3D braids (consist of 4 or more strands).

It is better to start with something simple and easy, especially for beginners, and then move on to more complex weaving. The main criterion in weaving will be the purity of the hair.

Order of execution:​

Initially, such a braid seems very simple, but it is not. This hairstyle can serve as a great alternative for every day, and the woven elements can change the hairstyle into a more evening and formal version.

Of three strands and ribbon

This is a classic braid pattern. Only this time, a ribbon is woven into it. Sometimes it may not work out the first time, but do not despair and learn. The most difficult thing is to do this hairstyle on your hair, so for training you can try it on a friend or on a mannequin.

The procedure for creating a hairstyle is as follows:

You can fix the hairstyle with varnish at the end, but it is undesirable to use a strong fixation, it forms a crust and the hairstyle looks unnatural.

You will need a comb with a thin end, with which it is convenient to part in the hair. Also prepare the ribbon, its width should not be large, a ribbon of 1-1.5 cm is suitable. The length of the ribbon should be twice the length of the hair in order to braid the pigtail to the end. But you can use a smaller ribbon, then the braid will have a tail.

How to weave a pigtail with a ribbon (twisted braid) - weaving diagram step by step with a photo:

Comb your hair thoroughly first. In weaving, the combing process is one of the main ones. Weaving will never look beautiful on uncombed hair.

Using the end of the comb, make a horizontal parting. It is required to separate about 1/3 of all hair. For now, you can remove the lower hair to one side and fix it there in the tail.


Separate a strand of hair on the left and attach a ribbon under it. For fastening, you can use silicone rubber.


Divide this section of hair into three sections. Put the rightmost strand of hair on top of the second strand.


Then start weaving the ribbon. To do this, put it on top of this strand (which was the first on the left).


In the next step, weave the right strand. It must be passed under a strand of hair and placed over the ribbon.


Now weave the left strand so that it lies above the hair strand and under the satin ribbon.


So we weave, observing a simple rule - a strand of hair on the left is always above the neighboring strand and under the ribbon, the next right strand is woven under the hair and above the ribbon. In short, you can remember "left - under, right - above."

The strands that you pick up on the left should form an even parting path.


The tape lies over the strand and over the extra hair that you take when you grab it and sort of tightens it, but slightly.


To weave the strands on the left, pick up hair from the front of the head.


Strand after strand should lie flat so that the front view does not resemble undulations.


To twist the braid, pick up the hair with your right hand only. On the left, the hair should hang freely.


Weave like this 2-3 times.


Now grab with both right and left hand. But when you take extra hair with your left hand.


Try to make a parting, then to pull and align the braid with this hair in a downward direction.


Hair grips should be taken in equal amounts and follow the same rule “left - under, right - over”.


Next, pick up one or two tight grips of the hair on the right and the braids will take a vertical direction.

Weave to the point where the ribbon lasts.

To prevent the braid from turning, fix it with 102 hairpins.


Now we take on the fluffing of the braid so that it looks more voluminous.


With two fingers of the right and left hands, simultaneously pull the curls in different directions. As in the photo.

It will turn out such a volumetric weaving with a ribbon.

At the end, the pigtail can be decorated with hairpins with black and white kanzashi flowers.

A pigtail with an interwoven ribbon looks elegant and neat. With such a universal twisted braid, you can go to school and cafes.

One of the most luxurious and spectacular accessories for braids are ribbons: openwork, satin, multi-colored. Braids with ribbons woven into them look unusual and fresh.
