How to make a kanzashi (folded fabric) flower pin

Step 2 Cut fabric squares

Cut your fabric into squares. The size of the square determines the size of your flower. You can use all the same size or different sizes in the same flower. I chose to use 3 1/2 inch and 2 1/2 inch squares and alternated them in my flower for variety. The number of squares you will need will also vary depending on how many petals you want and how thick your fabric is. The flower in this demo uses 7 large and 7 small squares of light weight cotton fabric.
