Kanzashi Shopper’s Bag

Untitled3

Create stylish embellishments with Clover’s Kanzashi Flower Makers. Although “Kanzashi” means “hair ornament” in Japanese, we’ve found that they can be used for so much more than that. Clover’s Kanzashi Flower Makers are reusable templates available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Daisy, Orchid, Round Petal, Pointed Petal, and Gathered Petal templates allow you create quick and easy designs. Designer Diane Gilleland shows us how to spruce up a shopping tote, create a flower brooch, and flower clip.
