Making of a long ornamental hairpin (kanzashi) out of a chopstick. ver.2
|
 |
About the length of a kanzashi. The length of a kanzashi depends on your hair's volume and your taste. Recommendatory length is 10cm 〜16cm （4”〜6.4”） |
 |
Which end is better to cut? If your chopstick is thick one, cut the thicker end. Because, you need a little space to entwine a wire. |
 |
An intention of a scrap of cloth. I used a scrap of cloth to adjust the space between a big bead and a chopstick.. If a hole of your big bead is fit the chopstick, you don't need a scrap of cloth. |
 |
About a wire. I recommend a wire for DIY (not for beads craft). I use #26 (a diameter of 0.45cm). |
 |
About an adhesive. Don't use aqueous adhesive. It's not appropriate to glue metal to wood. |
 |
Make a selection of a chopstick. Don't choose a non-slip processed chopstick. It would hurt your hair. |
