I adore cool layout and beautiful design. Alluringly beautiful! Notebooks with covers that I’m just not drawn to don’t get used at all, at least not until I change the covers to something I like. It’s now my everyday writing diary. I made the cover on the sewing machine but then hand embroidered on top of that. I love white on white a lot!

Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance.

Quilling - Turning Paper Strips into Intricate Artworks

The art of quilling first became popular during the Renaissance, when nuns and monks would use it to roll gold-gilded paper and decorate religious objects, as an alternative to the expensive gold filigree. Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling. Basically, the quilling process consists of cutting strips of paper, and rolling them with a special tool.

It sounds simple enough, but special skill is required to create more advanced shapes like marquises, arrowheads or holly leaves. All through the years, the art of quilling has remained almost unchanged, but new specialty supplies now allow quilling masters to create anything from detailed 3-D figures to wall-sized museum installations.

Cut two 4x4" paper squares and four 4x5" paper strips, I used brown card stock, you can also use patterned paper. Use glue dots on the back of the paper flaps, and glue each paper strip flap to each of the four sides of one of the squares. Glue the second 4x4 paper square in the center to cover up the paper strips.

Next remove the black glass. Now you will be able to see the interior parts of the light bulb. Pull out any remaining wires with the pliers.
