Tutorial : No-Fray Kanzashi Folding Method

You’re free to use this for your own kanzashi- even the ones you sell. Kanzashi are beautiful, but their tendency to fray makes these Japanese hair ornaments a bit annoying at times, as well as decreasing their shelf life. Hopefully using this method will help, just a little. It’s based on the traditional method, but altered a bit to result in stronger kanzashi, with the individual petals being thicker and the ends tucked inside, so that no frayable edges are exposed.
