  • I think the website no longer exist, as it seems to link me to a blank page...:(

  • @Dragonlet176 Yes, I've been told that, unfortunately. I have the contact for the gentleman I worked with and I'll e-mail him and ask him if he's opening up again. I'm also going to upload a new video soon that will be trying to show how to make them without as many foreign supplies that are sometimes hard to find. : ) Sorry for the late reply-!

  • I cant find the video you mention at the beginning on how to make the flowers can you tell me where can i find it I'm really interested....... Thanks

  • @lexygaga Sorry, my video on that was taken down. I've agreed to make another one soon so please come back later. : ) Sorry for the late reply too, btw.

  • My friend, thank you so much. I was going nuts trying to figure out how and where to get supplies, and how long.... It was getting frustrating....

  • I'm glad it's useful to you! The owner of this website approached me about the subject and I was able to work with him and tell him the kinds of items people outside of Japan sometimes find hard to locate and he arranged to have those items just for that reason! I think that if you're ever looking for anything else specific, just ask and maybe he can find it.

  • I was wondering: How do you connect different parts together? Do you use string to connect multiple pieces? Thanks!!

  • Each flower you make is usually on a wire. You wrap the wires around each other and onto an armature made of wire or onto the clip or comb you're using. I hope that makes sense! I have to make a new instructional video soon so I will try to cover that in better detail. Sorry for the long delay!

  • One tip that is more cost effective, but time consuming : Make your own rice glue. Go onto WikiHow and u will find the recipe

  • That's a good suggestion to make your own. I mentioned there's a recipe to people in my first video, but nobody seemed interested in doing it, so I included info about the glue in this one. I always agree that making things from scratch is a good option though, so I hope more people do try to make their own.

  • After using a couple differnt methods I found that using Rice Flour is also a really great sub. It's quicker and less waste. ;)

  • As usual, this video was great! I already know about Zipangu-Treasures, but you made the video so charismatic I watched the whole thing anyway. XD

    Oh, and you probably know by now, but those things at they end of the video are just little strings of ruffled fabric to loop between kanzashi for extra oomph. :D

  • Oh, why thank you! Not only for your compliment, but the info! <3 Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I've been on vacation. That's fun stuff. XD

  • Thank you very much for your effort to share the information of my store 'Zipangu Treasures'. I would like to keep offering kanzashi parts on my site to back up customers who love Kanzashi. Good luck to your great activity!

  • Of course! I think it's a great resource. You have all kinds of stuff that I've had trouble finding, even in Hawaii. Thank you for making all of these wonderful supplies available to the international market!

  • Hi! My husband and I found a way to make the silver flutters for bira bira and kanzashi. It keeps saying my comment is too long for here. Your videos are awesome thanks! kathiego233

  • Did you? So cool. <333 I'd love to see. Do you have a link? Maybe you should make a video!

    Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for subscribing. I hope I'll continue to entertain you in future videos. n...n

  • Hi! I don't have a link or even any pictures so far of the bira bira flutters we made. But when I do I'll be sure to come back here and let everyone know. I need to get better equipment first so it will be soon! Thank you, Kathy

  • Looking forward to it. <3

  • Yes, please share! That's amazing, finding a way to make the flutters. 8D

  • Ghetto Kanzashi! lol ty so much =D now to get started =P

  • Good, good! So glad! : D Share pics of what you make, okay? n...n (and no problem.)

  • Wonderful details and advice, beautiful kanzashi, great video. Thanks.

  • They are quite pretty. <3 They're for sale at that site, they're not my kanzashi. I haven't really been sharing pictures of my work because I'm practicing. <3

    Thanks for always leaving me your feedback! n....n

  • Thank you for the lovely tips! It'll definitely come in handy :D

  • I'm so glad. : ) If you can, please share with me what you make. I'd really like to see. <33

  • I'll definitely share what I make once I get started xD

    I need some good fabrics ^^

  • Good, good! I can't wait to see! I'm holding you to that, now. <33

  • Hi! I see good fabrics on eBay all the time. Check your local fabric store and sewing machine stores where they have quilting classes too. Kathy
