Paper Quilling Instructions

Got your quilling tool, strips of quilling paper and some glue to hand? Quilling isn't a difficult craft, but it can take a little practice to get the tension right. So let's practice! Take a strip of quilling paper and tear it in half, or even quarters. Do not cut it with scissors as the sharp edge will be more noticeable in the finished shape. I would advise you to begin with the slotted quilling tool that is normally provided in a quilling starter kit. Paper quilling instructions - Rolling your first coil So take your piece of paper and gently put the end into the slot in the tool.

Then, holding the tool in your dominant hand and the paper between your other thumb and index finger, slowly turn the quilling tool so that the paper winds evenly around the tip. Try to keep the edges of the paper lined up. As we are practicing, pick another color of paper and make another coil. Blink. Shop > My Craft Studio™ Www.whimsiquills.com.

Contemporary quilling lends its beauty to an even wider variety of applications, i.e. wedding invitations, birth announcements, etc. The uniqueness of quilling makes it the perfect gift for a really special occasion, one that will be treasured for many years to come.

With this charity aspect in mind I have designed The Rainbow Babies as the first new and exclusive free pattern on our website. Ideal as fund-raisers, these sweet Babies are quick to knit and each one only requires 25 grams [less than 1 ounce] of yarn and the same amount of stuffing. The doll measures just 17cm [6¾ in] high without the cap. The feet, legs, body and head are knitted in one piece and the ‘babygrow’ garment is part of the doll. The only separately knitted pieces are the arms, cap and scarf. You can make pink or brown Babies, but be sure to choose lovely bright colours for the rest of the design, in keeping with the rainbow theme. With your help I hope the Babies will create a beautiful RAINBOW all around the world. Click here to download the Rainbow Babies free pattern. Jean Greenhowe's Meet the Ghostlys Happy haunting!
