I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Hair ornaments made with round and sword tsumami (pinching) techniques

How to Make a Hair Ornament Using Only Round and Sword Tsumami Petals [Tsumami Zaiku] | DIY Handmade – Kanzashi Flower

Hair ornaments made with round and sword tsumami (pinching) techniques

Let’s try making hair ornaments using round tsumami and pointed tsumami.

We’ll make flower pieces and hanging strands with the round tsumami, and leaves with the pointed tsumami.

Both are basically simple techniques where you fold the fabric into a triangle, but the key to the round tsumami is to press in the center.

That gives the flower a cute look.

If you prefer a more mature style, try making the flowers with the pointed tsumami as well.

Each flower will be small, so make several and combine them to finish your ornament.

When wearing traditional Japanese attire, many of us admire tsumami-zaiku hair ornaments.

However, larger pieces can be quite expensive, so you may have ended up choosing artificial flower accessories instead.

With this idea, you can make those tsumami-zaiku ornaments by hand! It uses the basic ken-tsumami technique—folding fabric into triangles to create individual parts—so it’s beginner-friendly.

Essentially, you’ll make many identical pieces with the ken-tsumami method, then glue them onto a base to form a flower.

By changing the size of the base, you can create ornaments in a variety of sizes.
