Create your own Kanzashi Flowers

Kanzashi Tsumami is the Japanese art of folding delicate squares of silk into dimensional flower petals.

"Diane Gilleland showcases the Japanese art of Kanzashi with craft projects that have an updated, modern style. You’ll find lots of creative ways to use up your scrap fabrics to make quick gifts for family, friends, or yourself!" —Natalie Zee Drieu, Senior Editor, CRAFT magazine

In this book you'll find instructions for four simple Kanzashi components, and discover how these elements can be mixed and matched to create 20 unique projects, including jewellery, fashion embellishments, ornaments and home decor items.

"Diane Gilleland’s charming flower embellishments instantly bring the simplest accessory, garment, or decoration to life. Best of all, her beautifully photographed how-tos and helpful tips encourage us to add our own spin to these inspiring projects, for a lovely and very personal result." —Susan Beal, author of Bead Simple and Button It Up

"Kanzashi in Bloom is a must-have book that does a fantastic job of demystifying this ancient Japanese art form for the modern-day crafter. The colorful projects will have you wondering what you can adorn with flowers next!" —Jenny Ryan, Contributing Writer, CRAFT magazine
