I would love to make a bunch of flowers with these amazing flower makers to adorn the next prink princess dress I make for my niece. Also Clover article’s are a bit of a chore to obtain in Holland. It can be done, but what a treat it would be to win some :)

I love this look! If I were to win the template, I would make my daughter and I matching headbands for when we’re out and about. She could probably learn to use the template soon, and that might start her on her own path to sewing bliss. I am so glad I started when I was small myself.

I love Sunflowers! I’d make giant yellow flowers with brown centers; brick colored flowers with black centers, and maybe just for fun some colorful red with orange!

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I have just made a top from one of your free patterns. It only took me a couple of hours and I am really pleased with it. It’s the first thing I’ve made from the burdastyle website but I think I’ll be making lots more! Thanks everyone.

Hydrangeas are my favorite. I would love to use the flower maker to make a large cluster of blossoms and form them into the shape of a hydrangea

What fun it would be with 3 grandaughters to make Kanzashis. Love the daisies.

My favorite flower is the Marigold which I think would look neat with the flower maker. Great giveaway!

I like all kinds of flowers, and I would make all different kinds… although I think snowdrops would look very cute in white silk… You would use the five petaled template, and make the petals squinched in a little more.

I love sunflowers! They would look great in yellow, with a brown button for the inside!

Fantastic – wonder how my old hat would look with a bunch of multicolour flowers on it:)

I love peonies. I think if I stacked several flowers together and used varying shades of pink, I could make one.

These are awesome! I’m really excited to try these out!

Amazing! I can imagine all of the flowers that will embelish my new grandaughter’s wardrobe and decor. I look forward to countless hours of fun and creativity. Thanks for inventing the Kanzashi flower maker. Denyse

I like daisies because they are very simple yet always happy and cheerful to me. My daughter loves sunflowers because they can be small or huge and happy. She’s only nine and goes to a private school so the only times she able to step out of her uniform is on the weekends & summer. This kanzashi flower maker would be great for making her either a skirt or dress with a design on flowers growing from the bottom towards the waist line. I could easily make her a head band or scrunchy to match.The possibilities are endless as to what I could make! OMG! What could I not make with this?!?

Looks beautiful!

I love an bright colourful flowers, especially nasturtiums and I would use them as detachable ornaments on the bags I make so they can be brooches too.

Ohhh I LOVE these!!! My favorite it the one that is folded on the bias….I would say I enjoy all flowers but roses are my favorite. I would use these Kanzashi Flower Maker to make flowers for a Christmas tree!!! Can you imagine these in a lovely red or white organza flowers with those cute LED lights in the center of each flower. The sheerness of the organza and the light from the LED lights would give the tree an ethereal look, you may not even need any other ornaments!!
Thanks Burda for this opportunity!!!

My favorites are gerbera daisies—I’d be using fabrics in their bright cheerful colors with these flower makers.

I would use the flowers as a trim on a blanket or quilt or make a bag by joining them together – maybe alternating with yo-yos.

My favorite flowers are magnolias. I could make bouquets as bridal shower favors! Also, this looks like a great tool for teaching creative little girls (my nieces) how to make beautiful flowers.

with so many beautiful fabrics available, the possibilities are endless! Would be a neat way of making keepsake flowers from fabrics from grandma’s stash. Favorite flower would be the poinsettia-like pointed ones.

I love red and white roses. I would either make a lovely scarf or a belt or top.:-)
Aug 24, 2011, 05.22 PMby cynthiay
My favorite flower are lilies. I would make flowers to embellish children’s clothing and bags and in home decor items.

I love daffodils. They are such bright, happy flowers. I would use bright yellow and orange to create a flower hairclip which would brighten up any outfit :)
Aug 24, 2011, 03.11 PMby jenksie
I love the rounded flower. I would embellish bags and purses as well as make corsage pins and hair accessories.
Aug 24, 2011, 03.09 PMby jenksie
How exciting. Very pretty, I could use these on so many things.

I love kanzashi!! My favorite flower is a honeysuckle though.. which is difficult to craft and embroider, but I’d like to make a kanzashi inspired by the colors of my favorite honeysuckle, cream and pale orange. So pretty!

i’d like to try it on cashmere
