Haha, I totally didn't plan that! :) It's Zoya - Phoebe, from their summer collection, and I'm smitten with it. :)

Well, traditionally, kanzashi were made from starched fabric, and held together entirely using rice glue. So the more traditional ones have you take a lightweight fabric, starch it, and cut it into little squares. Using ribbon just shortcuts the whole process into making squares, and then doing all the folding.

I think my brain liked to make the whole thing more complicated than it really needed to be. I'm going to go back at some point and try to see if I can get it working using the fabric, since I have a method that works now. :)
