I bought this book because I really like Diane's work on her blog, Craftypod. And, also, becasue I was intrigued by this craft as I knew nothing about it. (I'm the curious type!)
There's a very interesting introduction with the history of the Kanzashi (It's a japanese craft) and there are some very clear steps-by-steps pictures on how to make different kinds. (Round petals, pointy, etc!)
As I wasthinking of ways I could use the Kanzashi, I was happy to see that there were...more

This book was fantastic, with great photographs showing each step of making the kanzashi flowers. It really is simply origami with fabric, and I loved the variety of projects highlighted. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's interested in trying to make these beautiful fabric flowers!

Loved the idea and started a project, but never quite finished it. I never was much into sewing and it started to feel like a sewing project I would have done as a kid in 4-H.
Actually, my daughter's been reading and more importantly using this book to make beautiful fabric flowers. Good instructions are easy to follow.
I have breeze thru this and now have ordered books from Japan on this
Wish I had more time to try these out this summer. What a fun book. Easy to follow directions too!
This book is wonderful. It is based on the traditional kanzashi flowers in a more crafty way. Makes it very accessible to all us regular people who think this is beautiful but don't have the time to truly master the old technique.
