This is a fun technique in which patterned paper strips are rolled or twisted using a quilling pen and then wedged in a quilling board and glued together. The shapes are glued onto a greeting card.
You Will Need:
- BLANK CARDS, OR ACTIVITY CARD (CARD)
- DECORATIVE PAPER CUT 5MM WIDE (YOU CAN ALSO USE THICK QUILLING PAPER STRIPS)
- A QUILLING PEN (QUILLING)
- A QUILLING BOARD (QUILLING)
- HI-TACK ALL PURPOSE GLUE (GLUE)
Instructions:
1. Roll or twist the weaving paper strips using a quilling pen.
2. Place the rolled up paper strips in a desired mould in the quilling board.
3. Remove them carefully from the quilling board. To hold the size and the shape, glue them together.
4. Place in the mould on the quilling board again. You could use pins to keep the same distance between the turns. Now glue with the hi-tack glue. The glue is gel-like and not runny. Let it dry.
5. Glue a piece of decorative paper onto a greeting card using double-sided adhesive tape.
6. Glue the paper coils onto the greeting card in a desired pattern. In this example: a butterfly.
7. Glue strips of decoratice paper along the edge.
