Quilling paper

Craft glue

Slotted quilling tool or if you have a small round wooden stick, make a small slot on one end and you can use it - that is what I use.

Insert one end of the paper in the slot

of our quilling tool

Wrap the paper around the quilling tool

Mould the paper to the shape

you want and press it lightly

This is what it would look like

Add some craft glue (very little) to the end

of the paper and glue it to the paper below

Make one more of these

Wishing you a very happy new year! Time for hope and new resolutions, what I like about the new year resolutions is that it shows that you have not given up on yourself (lol), even though not kept , at least we hope to improve, isn't that good too?I started this post early Jan and that is why it is filled with high hopes for the new year and I am sorry for the long gap since my last post, got a little busy looking for a new job.Coming to the topic in hand, once while browsing through pinterest, I came across paper quilling artworks. I loved the elegant finish and also the wide variety of colors and so decided to give it a try, and believe me when I say this, it is one of the most simple arts that gives beautiful results.I bought a set of 1/8" Quilling Paper-100PK/25 Colors from Joann's, I think it should be available in your local craft store or amazon, a friend of mine told that she does it with ordinary craft paper, so in essence any paper that you can actually mould to a shape will work, but if you are a beginner I think it is easier to get quilling paper.I had some bamboo sticks from a sushi mat which I was using for some other crafts, so I just made a small slot on one end of the stick to use as my quilling tool.Even if you do not want to make canvas decorations using paper quilling, it is useful skill that you could use to adorn a card or book mark.If you are really interested in paper quilling, here is a greatI found useful.Few of my paper quilling works.So happy quilling and enjoy your day!
