Actual techniques

"Something beautiful to make yourself, and even more useful from a practical point of view - the idea is very tempting, but how to learn this, if there is no experience in this direction at all?" - the thoughtful reader will ask. Of course, to achieve the professional heights in any case requires years of hard and even dedicated work, tons of overworked material, buckets of tears and psychosis over the failures, the irrepressible delight of success.

However, hairpins with ribbons by hand - this is an area where, if not super-duper professionalism, but quite significant heights can be achieved literally on his knees in a short time. The main thing - a natural sense of beauty and a little patience.

At what areas should pay primary attention to the novice master? You can not learn everything at once, can you?

Kanzashi .

The name sounds threatening, reminds me of the proverbial "banzai". In fact, this is the most common and easiest to implement technique with ribbons, of which a variety of forms are made, as an option, flowers.

For the first piece you will need:

• a not wide ribbon - satin, rep, and any other materials, but satin looks much more advantageous in this technique (if you disagree with the proclaimed statement, justify your opinion in the comments);
• a hairpin, which will act as a base;
• glue, thread and needle;
• a piece of felt in color to match the ribbon, it does not have to be monochrome solutions;
• a bead as an embellishment, if you think it is appropriate (for example, in the photo a bead or a half bead was not needed)

If the reader has ever been engaged in origami and applique (and with this kind of activity face all children, without exception, at least in educational institutions), then create a real work of art will not be difficult.

Emphasis on rhinestones, beads, half-beads

A separate category of girls really like different rhinestones, beads. Moreover, these decorative elements are suitable for many outfits, such as eco-style, High-Tack, ball and evening dresses. In this perspective, hairpins with jewelry would be just right.

There are no special difficulties in the performance, and a starter kit is about standard. The only thing needed is a thin wire. For this purpose, usually disassemble old low-power transformers from receivers, TV sets (old, new ones do not have them anymore).

Ecotechnics

At all times were popular and attracted the attention of others hairpins with their own hands, made with natural materials. Want an interesting comparison? If a wreath made of flowers, the one that girls take down the river on the night of Kupala, fastened on the head with hairpins, then, in fact, you will get a hairpin in the technique of "Eco".

The example is a joke with a grain of truth in it. As a base can be a variety of natural materials: dried flowers, grass, fern, wheat spike, buckwheat, other plants.

All ecological hairpins are good, but there is a serious disadvantage: short-lived. A fresh, recently plucked flower will fade, the earflower will crack, the grass will go fibers rather quickly. This does not mean that such hairpins have no right to exist. Simply do them yourself, do not be lazy, with the clear understanding that the product will be a one-time, literally for one outing, but extravagant and definitely exclusive.

Foamiran

To make the product you will need:

• Foamiran pieces, usually their width does not exceed 60 mm, but if the size of the forms is small, it is better to take the material thinner;
• glue;
• A piece of felt;
• hook.

It does not take much time to make a hairclip out of foamirin with your own hands, and the result looks really chic.

What can I recommend as trial pieces of this material for beginners?

1. Sunflower flowers.
2. Daffodils of different colors.
3. Peonies (but this is for people with some experience).
4. Volumetric geometrical figures and their combinations.
5. Butterflies, bugs, ladybugs, etc.

What is the output?

In conclusion, it should be noted that making jewelry with their own hands is an interesting, fascinating and useful process. Such an activity allows you to save your own money, as well as in the end, you can earn money on this (not immediately, of course). And most importantly, the increase in self-esteem of the master is guaranteed.

It is necessary to try to find "his own", only then reach previously unimaginable heights. If there are any questions or interesting ideas, please, state them in comments.
