Inspired on the traditional Japanese Tsumami Kanzashi flower.

Literally, 'folded fabric hair ornament'. Tsumami kanzashi are made from tiny (usually 1") squares of silk which are folded into petals, used in traditional japanese hairstyles. Kanzashi first appeared when women abandoned the traditional taregami hairstyle where the hair was kept straight and long, and adopted coiffured nihongami hairstyles.  I used cotton fabric and felt.
