Openwork crafts from quilling will decorate any window sill, wall, desktop or crib. Refined postcards, panels or small quilling souvenirs will surely appeal to young connoisseurs of beauty and those whose heart invariably yearns for a fairy tale.
The creators of the first quilling crafts are the monks of medieval Europe. By trimming the gilded edges of religious books and twisting the paper strips at the tip of the nib, they made medallions that mimicked a gold miniature. No wonder the word "quill" is translated from English as "bird's feather".
Quilling is a unique technique that will help you convey the airiness and lightness of lace patterns.
To create quilling crafts, you will need the following tools: awl, tweezers, scissors, glue, as well as a pencil, a compass, a ruler template.
Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the basic elements of quilling, the so-called modules. It is the different forms of paper strips twisted into spirals that will allow you to achieve the desired pattern.
Quilling angel
A stylish pendant or a tiny souvenir for a friend - a quilling angel will touch anyone. In my opinion, a great gift if you are going to visit.
All parts of the craft, except for the head, consist of “free spiral” modules.
1. Do an angel first sleeves: take four blue strips 21 cm long, glue them together. Using an awl, twist into a tight spiral, and then loosen it a little - up to a diameter of 20 mm.
You can use special paper for quilling, or cut colored double-sided paper yourself, as I did.
2. For dresses Angel You will need:
- three "loose spiral" modules, consisting of eight glued blue strips, each 21 cm long. The diameter of the spiral on the ruler should correspond to 32 mm;
- two “free spiral” modules, consisting of two glued blue strips, 21 cm long. The diameter of the finished spiral should be 10 mm.
3. Pens- these are 2 free spirals of 2 glued strips of light pink color, each 21 cm long. Spiral diameter - 10 mm.
4. To create wings toys, make 2 "loose spiral" modules, consisting of 4 glued white strips, each 21 cm long. The diameter of the spirals for the wings is 26 mm.
5. For manufacturing heads make a tight spiral of 10 light pink strips 21 cm long.
Important! Remove each spiral from the template ruler with tweezers. Carefully grease the edge with glue so that the module does not unwind.
6. All spirals, except for those that are 10 mm each, give the shape of a droplet.
7. Tiny spirals for the dress will remain unchanged. And pink - for pens - you need to give the appearance of curved droplets.
8. Assemble the angel: glue all the details with PVA glue, as shown in the photo. Styrofoam is ideal as a stand - it is easy to stick pins into it.
9. Insert a loop between the head and wings. Angel is ready!
And here are a few more quilling angels - for everyone who knows the technique thoroughly.
Quilling snowdrops. Beautiful spring card
To make a flower card with snowdrops, you will need: colored cardboard, an openwork napkin, PVA glue, a long toothpick, white and green quilling paper.
1. On a toothpick, twist three modules called "free spiral". These are snowdrop petals.
Form three basic elements of the "eye" from them by clicking on the spiral from two opposite sides.
2. Take a green strip of paper and form a tight spiral out of it. Using the blunt end of the skewer, squeeze out the middle of the spiral, thus forming the “cone” element.
3. Assemble the snowdrop flower: glue the petals together and place them in the middle of the cone. If you want to make an unblossomed bud, place only one petal in the cone.
4. Cut out thin stems 8-9 cm long from green paper.
5. Cut off ¼ of the lace napkin, remove the sharp corner and make a basket blank, bending the edges in the middle.
6. It remains quite a bit - stick all the details of the bouquet on a cardboard blank and sign the card. I am sure that the hero of the occasion will be very happy with such a touching gift: beautiful quilling flowers.
Miniature flower in a quilling pot
This tiny flowerpot from the "mi-mi-mi" area is sure to delight girls. So why not make a pleasant surprise for your beloved friend or classmate?
In addition to pink, green, white and orange quilling paper, you will need: a wine cork, a toothpick, PVA and scissors.
1. From a cork and a toothpick, make such a paper winding tool.
2. Cut six orange strips and twist them into spirals, loosen them a little.
3. Press the spirals from one side, giving them the shape of droplets.
4. Glue three white strips 7 mm wide and make a fringe. This is the core of the flower.
5. Make a spiral out of two strips of green color, dissolve and squeeze from both sides. So make 2 sheets.
6. From a green strip 6 mm wide, make a tight cone-stem.
7. Make a flower pot from three glued pink strips 1.5 cm wide. Roll a tight roll, squeeze the middle down. Pour PVA glue on the bottom, glue a circle of paper.
8. Make the grass in the same way as you did the core of the flower. Strip width 10 mm.
9. And now the most pleasant thing is the assembly of the flower.
Here it is - a decorative quilling flowerpot and a new gift for a friend.
What else can be done from quilling
Quilling is always bewitchingly beautiful and very pleasant. Any quilling craft gives a feeling of sophistication, airiness of the depicted object or pattern. See what unusual products can be made using the paper rolling technique.
Animals, birds and insects. There are many photos with quilling products that even a beginner can handle:
Quilling is sinking, quilling is sinking... to the bottom of the sea!
I wanted to do without "lessons" this time, but it did not work out. I even had to change the name of the work. Now you will understand everything why "Secrets of the Seabed" in particular.
So let's start diving.
Sea star and pebbles.
MK in the form of TK.
I made all the inhabitants, and the pebbles, the most dreary thing, to twist 8-10 strips, left for last. And suddenly it dawned on me: I figured out how to make a pebble in 30 seconds. I share my first secret with you.
If we need to get a small tight roll of 2-5 strips, then we can use 1 method. To make a large roll of 6-10 strips, the second method is suitable. You have no idea how quickly I twisted the pebbles! These methods can be used not only for making pebbles, remember all our flowers with tight rolls!
The result is in front of you! My pebbles flew out like hot cakes, the main thing is to glue them correctly. Do not be scared when at the end of the twisting the "tails" from the stripes will somehow bounce off, the last strip that we glue below will press and glue them. That's how my laziness pushed me to opening!
The second secret: I twisted the strip immediately smeared with glue.
The traditional way: twist the roll, and then squeeze out, suitable for short tubes, but I could not get a long tube in this way.
Sea urchin, even two.
How I did it is the third secret. If you glue the black fringe in this way, then it turns out that there are not many black needles, and an additional narrow strip gives the necessary volume to the roll.
She twisted, folding the workpieces in a "stack".
Happy viewing!

Quilling - wonderful things made of paper. Comments: LiveInternet - Russian Online Diary Service
As promised, I am publishing a small master class on creating lilies using the quilling technique.
For work you will need:
-tool,
-tweezers,
- a ruler with circles of different diameters,
as well as scissors, a ruler, and PVA glue
In the work, strips 3 mm wide in white, light green (pastel colors), and bright green colors are used, as well as strips 1.5 mm wide in orange color for the middle.
For the petals, we need a white strip 60 cm long. We dissolve the roll with a diameter of 24mm, glue it and shape it as shown in the picture.
Figure eights from scotch tape reels
We take junk material-bobbins from under the adhesive tape)
We glue the outside and inside with corrugated cardboard.
On the one hand, we hide the ends with tight rolls. in quilling technique.
We glue the blanks to each other.
We glue the figure eight on a white sheet of drawing paper, cut it out along the contour. Congratulations and wishes will be written here.

(difficulty ***)
The work was done using frames of various types for taking "casts", as well as a wooden frame for assembling masts.
Materials:
- Strips of paper for quilling 2 shades of brown, 3 shades of red, beige colors 1.5 mm wide
- brown pastel paper
- Wooden skewers for barbecue
- brown nail polish
- toilet paper
- food film
- PVA glue
Process of creation:
- The stern consists of four parts: two identical side, rear, deck and bottom, as well as internal struts. To create the side parts, you should wind about 600 “Eye” quilling elements from brown paper (see table).
The consumption of elements directly depends on the size of the dense blank, which is necessary as a mold of the stern, to give the side parts a rounded and curved shape.
Ship preparation. Side view. f=4 cm, e=0.8 cm
Ship preparation. Back view. d = 3 cm
Ship preparation. View from above
A dense blank should be glued from toilet paper. To do this, it must be folded in two or three layers, cut out a figure according to the shape of the bottom, smeared with glue and covered with the next layer on top. Gradually, the cut out figures should increase in size and smoothly move into the deck (see diagrams).
Way of laying elements for the side parts of the stern
After complete drying, wrap the workpiece with cling film and, on the basis of the resulting base, glue the previously obtained elements in the specified sequence.
Carefully remove the finished side parts of the stern of the boat from the cling film. Additionally, you can manually add roundness to the shape of each of the parts.
Deck drawing. a' = 21.5 cm, b' = 4.5 cm
Bottom drawing. a = 17.5 cm, b = 3.5 cm
Cut out the bottom and deck from brown pastel paper according to the drawings.
Draw the blunt end of the ruler (scissors, knife, etc.) along the dotted lines to make it easier to bend the edges.
Glue one side part to the bottom first. Apply glue to the folded edges of the bottom. In the same way, connect the side part to the deck, it should be located 5 mm below the edge of the side part. It is worth noting that the curved edges of the blanks and the bottom and the deck look inside the stern.
Before connecting the resulting structure to the second side part, it is necessary to create internal braces for greater stability and rigidity of the base of future masts. The spacer is a part of a wooden skewer, on both sides of which two dense rolls are glued. Attention, before twisting the rolls, make sure that the central hole of the element will be sufficient to string it onto a skewer. Or use the latter as a tool.
After assembly, grease each roll with glue and leave to dry. Glue two spacers into the stern cavity. Press gently with index and thumb fingers of both hands. Securely connecting the spacers to the deck and bottom of the ship.
The next step is to connect the resulting structure with the second side of the stern. Hold in your hands until completely dry, fixing in the desired position. At the end, add the back of the stern, assembled according to the scheme from the same “Eye” quilling elements as the sides.
Lay a border around the perimeter of the stern - a strip of brown paper glued in two layers. Because the board is a curved line; cuts about 2 mm deep must be made along the entire length of the strip, this will allow it to be given a smooth bend.
Lay brown rolls on top of the border.
Next, glue the cut and folded “step” into the back of the deck so that it protrudes from the back by about 5 mm. The step is a rectangle with the addition of double protrusions on both sides that need to be bent.
From the bottom and three rows above the step, overlay the elements of the “Square” quilling, end each row on both sides with a Triangle.
Then glue the back part, as shown in the photo, with a twisted strip of paper, as well as the junction of the two side parts in front. Inside the step, also decorate with elements of quilling Square. Put another border on top - a strip of paper folded in half.
The sails are assembled according to the scheme of quilling elements Eye, Drop, in the form of a trapezoid. Rectangular triangle. To give a curved shape, assembly should be carried out on a template - a cylinder glued from thick paper (for watercolor, for example), wrapped in cling film. In total, you need to create five standard sails, two triangular, and one trapezoidal.
Barbecue skewers were used for the masts. In the presented version, the lengths of the masts are 15.5 cm, 25 cm, 20 cm, respectively, counting from the bow of the ship. Each skewer must be coated with brown nail polish and left to dry.
Then each sail must be attached to the base. To do this, take a strip of paper, no more than 1 cm long, put a wooden base in the middle of the strip, and glue the ends together.
Such pendants must be made up to 7 pieces, depending on the size of the sail.
Drawing of the main sail. General and side view. 1 mast: 1 sail: a = 4.5 cm, b = 6.5 cm, c = 6 cm, 2 sail: a = 4 cm, b = 5 cm, c = 5.5 cm, 3 sail: a = 3 cm, b = 4 cm, c = 4 cm; 2 mast: 1 sail: a = 4 cm, b = 5.5 cm, c = 5.5 cm, 2 sail: a = 3.5 cm, b = 5 cm, c = 5 cm
Drawing of a sail on the bow of the stern. 1) a = 8 cm, b = 5 cm, 2) a = 9 cm, b = 5.5 cm
Drawing of a sail on the back of the stern. a=4.5 cm, b=7.5 cm, c=6.5 cm
Glue strips of red paper to the edges of the sail, as shown in the diagram.
Glue a beige strip between the two red stripes so that it continues the bending line of the sail.
Glue each sail to the mast using universal glue, a drop of which is applied to the middle of the wooden base.
For reliability, the connection point should be fixed with a beige strip about 4 cm long.
To do this, lay the mast in the middle of the strip, bend the ends crosswise on the base of the sail, pass between the hangers and the canvas of the sail and glue the ends of the strip on the mast. If necessary, add a little all-purpose glue.
Thus, assemble one mast with three sails, one with two, rear mast, two sails in front. Glue the sails of the upper tier to the wooden base of the previous tier for the “light tails”. Fix the lower largest sails on the rolls standing on the stern curb
For stability, glue a roll on the base of each mast, the tip of the masts is a cone.
The bowsprit on the bow of the stern can be fixed with two combined Luna quilling elements.
The assembly is over, the ship is ready.
And let your ship rush at full sail to the new, wonderful shores of mysterious countries.
