Ah, I see. Though...I'm not sure I know exactly what kind of wire pieces you're talking about. :)

Yeah, I use chopsticks, too...you can buy like, 8 of them for a dollar at some places. :) (Wal-mart! Yeah. XD)

So far, I've bought all of my forks from Japan, too, but you're right...it does get a little tedious (waiting) and adds to the expense. This is such an expensive hobby, you know!! XD especially if nobody buys mine (sad).

The wire pieces are just two pieces of wire that sort of fit into the katsura. I'll try and take some photos of those next time I make a bridge piece.

ok another question from me
sorry....
what kind of fabric is best for making kanzashi?
I've seen you use silk and silk brocade (pricey?)

I tried using cotton (not the greatest idea?)
but it won't hold shape (it's pretty thin though, if that matters at all)

I'm trying my best, but I get frustrated easily, so yeah, need help

As long as the fabric is thin, that's all you need. Cotton is fine - as long as it's not a heavy weave (like denim). You may need to add another layer of starch - but most fabrics won't hold their shape without glue. There are some incredibly thin silks that will, but they're pretty expensive.

I figured I just needed more starch...^_^;
no the cotton isn't heavy at all
I'm still working on getting the fabric to hold its shape......
