What is quilling?

For those who do not know what the quilling technique is, I would like to take a short digression. This type of needlework is considered very simple, but at the same time, very beautiful. Quilling does not require expensive tools and materials. All you need to work - good mood, interesting idea and time.

During the creation of compositions, paper strips with a width of 3, 4, 6 and 10 mm are used. There may be several twisting devices.

There are professional twisting machines, which are sold in specialized stores, as well as improvised tools, such as a tapestry needle with a large eye and a round wooden stick 10 cm long.

It is also advisable to stock up on tweezers with flat tips. It is needed in order to hold the paper blank, apply glue to it and stick it to the surface.

As for other devices that are necessary for working in the quilling technique, they can be found in any home. These are scissors (preferably with sharp ends), a ruler, toothpicks, PVA glue.

If you decide to seriously engage in this type of needlework, then whole sets are sold in stores, which include all the necessary tools and you do not have to collect them separately.

Good evening, dear colleagues!

Conceived - done! At hand were an A3 frame, colored xerox paper, a ruler, a pencil, simple and curly scissors, glue, a stick for quilling and various decorations for paintings: beads, semi-beads, sequins of various shapes and colors, rhinestones.

In order to save strips for quilling cut from multi-colored xerox paper (shades of blue and blue flowers) . Any stripe can be made length: glue two, three - into one.

To roll the strip of paper, I used a wooden skewer with a split end. Convenient, I recommend!

Having twisted the strip, I either weaken the twist a little, or simply glue the end, depending on whether I need a flower petal or its middle.

I form petals of different shapes, colors and sizes, pinching once, twice (or multiple times) from the edges.

I collect petals in inflorescences. If desired, I decorate the flowers with beads and sequins.

It remains only to arrange the flowers beautifully on the surface of the sheet, connecting the flowers, winter tree, sequins and congratulations!

Hello dear moms! Congratulations to all on the coming summer days. June 1, Children's Day, the guys and I decided to do.

AT holidays I always want something unusual and original. Something that no one else has. Various decorations for the New Year, which are produced on an industrial scale, do not always satisfy the requirements of buyers. That is why New Year's quilling can be not only a pleasant pastime, but also an ideal option for the most demanding originals.

What it is

First of all, it is worth understanding what this technique is. New Year's quilling, like any other, is paper rolling. Or rather, a whole art that first appeared in Europe at the end of the fourteenth century. This technique is based on the ability to twist plain paper so that unusual figures or ornaments are obtained, which are further compiled into whole compositions. New Year's quilling is postcards, toys, crafts on a New Year's theme, made using simple tools.

What will be required

For such art, not too many materials are required: paper and transparent PVA glue. Of the tools: scissors, an awl (sharp, long, thin), tweezers without notches at the end. The hardest part is choosing the right one. First, the edges of the tweezers should converge one to one, without gaps. Secondly, it should cling well, that is, spring. Otherwise, you will get very poor quality quilling. New Year's crafts will be sloppy and clumsy.

How to twist

It would seem that it could be easier - to twist the paper. But not everything is so clear. New Year's quilling, like any other, is a special technique, although not too complicated. First you need to cut the paper into strips, the width of which does not exceed 3-4 mm. You can do it manually, you can buy finished material in a specialized store, or you can pass the sheet through a shredder, which neatly and evenly spreads it into strips. Then the paper is wound on the tip of the awl very tightly. After 10 skeins, you can continue to twist the strips by hand, constantly supporting them with your other hand so that the skein does not unravel. The already finished twist is glued with glue, creating a composition using the quilling technique. New Year cards, by the way, are in special demand. Especially if you connect fantasy when creating them.

snowman card

This is one of the easiest compositions that beginners master in the first place. A very dense skein is twisted from white paper. PVA glue is applied to the prepared postcard (it can be both purchased and homemade). But not the entire area, but only the one where the lower "ball" of the snowman will be located. The skein of paper is gradually loosened in the hands so that it unwinds a little. Then it is placed on the adhesive base and pressed a little, fixing the position. The next skein should be slightly shorter in length so that the second “ball” is smaller in volume, like a real snowman. It is glued in the same way. The last third "ball" is performed in the same way as the previous ones, but its volume should be even less than that of the second. A bucket or a hat for a snowman can be drawn by hand or twisted from dark paper. The arms and legs are also made using the quilling technique. New Year's cards with snowmen turn out to be especially interesting if you add not only painting, but also sparkles, additional decorative elements. For example, buttons or sequins.

Christmas tree toy

New Year's quilling (do-it-yourself and lovingly made crafts) is not only a way to "kill" time, but also a great option for a gift souvenir for the holiday. Therefore, beginners should definitely try to make a Christmas tree using this technique. It is not difficult, but the result will surprise even the most demanding originals. First you need a sheet of green cardboard, which is twisted into a cone, and the edges are fastened with a stapler so that the figure does not spread. Droplets will be made from light green or emerald quilling paper (that is, ready-made strips). The technique is not at all complicated. First, ordinary hanks are twisted from strips of greater length than all subsequent ones. When they are ready, they are slightly relaxed in the hands so that the paper unwinds, then one side is squeezed in the hands of the thumb and forefinger. This will give the shape a droplet shape. PVA glue is applied to the bottom of the cone, a ready-made large drop made in quilling technology is pressed against it. New Year's crafts, by the way, may not be exactly green, like real Christmas trees, but also of any other color. The entire bottom of the cone should be pasted over with such large droplets. The next row will be smaller, so the strips are slightly shortened. Medium drops are overlapped with large ones, like tiles. And so on until the whole tree is ready. The top can be decorated with a finished star or twisted out of paper using the quilling technique. You should not rush when gluing, each row should dry well.

Craft "Snowflake"

Unfortunately, christmas toys(quilling technique is meant) are not too durable. Unlike crafts, which are easy to store, because they do not take up much space. Even a child can make a snowflake craft. Small dense hanks are twisted from white or blue paper, which are then compressed into droplets. Dimensions should be as equal as possible so that the craft does not look skewed or sloppy. PVA glue is applied to colored cardboard, then droplets are glued in turn. It is noteworthy that they should dock with rounded sides, and not sharp ones. This is the most simple snowflake without any complex elements. Over time, when there will be more experience, you can improve the compositions, making them original and openwork.

At the initial stage, when quilling is just being mastered, you should not take complex work as an example. It is enough to learn how to make simple but versatile blanks, which in the future can be mixed and combined into large compositions. So, for example, a New Year's quilling snowflake can be made from such shapes as a droplet, a circle, an oval, a heart, a curl. Do not be afraid to experiment, but do not set yourself too difficult tasks in the first lessons, so as not to be disappointed in such art.
