A bright and cheerful painting made with your own hands using the quilling technique will decorate any home. This cute composition will surprise, delight and, undoubtedly, will be a wonderful hand-made gift.

To make a flower arrangement you will need:

• shiny powder of red and silver colors;
• toothpick;
• photo frame.

Stages and method of performing the work of making a painting

To make a red gerbera, you need to glue together white and red strips, each 25cm long. You will get one strip 50cm long.

Then, using a toothpick or a special quilling tool, twist them into rolls with a diameter of 13-14mm with a red stripe inward.

Using tweezers, shape the spiral into a petal shape. You should end up with 12 red and white petals.

Using a similar pattern, twist spirals with a diameter of 9mm (13 pieces) and 7mm (10 pieces) from red stripes. Also squeeze on both sides to get red petals of different sizes.

Then cut a circle with a diameter of 4 cm from whatman paper. Draw a circle inside it with a diameter of about 15mm. This will be the border of the gerbera core. Make a cut to the center of the circle, with which we will form a small cone for further attaching the flower to the picture.

Quilling paintings of flowers master class

Glue large petals onto the inside of the cone. Let it dry.

On the reverse side, in a checkerboard pattern, slightly retreating from the edge, glue the middle petals.

While the blank for the quilling painting is drying, you can begin making the core. To do this, you need to glue a black strip 3mm wide and 15cm long and a peach strip 10mm wide and 20cm long. In the latter, make cuts along the entire length.

Twist the core and secure the end with glue.

Then glue the small petals first, and then place the straightened middle on it and press it tightly inside the flower.

Make the rest of the gerberas in a similar way.

To make flower buds, you need to roll them into tight rolls and glue strips of green and light green shades.

Then, using a thin stick or pencil, shape the rolls into a bowl.

Coat the inside of each bud with an even layer of glue and let it dry.

Making a picture using the quilling technique

Insert three petals and a thin core made from a strip 7-8 cm long into a bud.

There are two types in this composition. First twist of two green stripes different shades. Then carefully stretch the spiral evenly to a diameter of 3-4cm.

Press with your fingers on both sides. Make the rest of the leaves in this way.

Quilling - flowers for paintings

The leaves of the second type are made of ordinary colored paper. It is better if it is double-sided. Fold the paper in half and cut out a jagged leaf symmetrically.

Then fold it again and fold it like an accordion several times.

Unfold the blanks and straighten them slightly. In this way, make 4 leaves.

Now that the main elements of the composition have been made, let's begin forming the background of our picture. Glue a beige rectangular fragment onto the colors on top. To make it look aesthetically pleasing, it is better to cut out the background with a stationery knife rather than scissors.

Before fixing the flowers, the petals can be decorated with glitter. To prevent it from crumbling, you need to apply a solution of PVA half and half with water to the ends. And apply powder on top with a dry brush.

Glue the gerberas slightly away from the center.

First attach some leaves to the flowers.

And then others.

Insert buds inside the leaves. You can glue beaded stamens inside one of them.

Glue curly branches at random. They are also made from twisted but well straightened strips 15cm long.

Nowadays, needles and toothpicks are used for these purposes, and the choice of paper has become much wider. And the most important advantage of this art lies in the fact that it is accessible to almost everyone - the main thing is to understand its basics.

Creating medallions and postcards from quilling with your own hands also attracted society ladies. Commoners paper for a long time was unaffordable, so this technique was the prerogative of wealthy citizens. Paper rolling has occupied a particularly significant place among the applied arts of Korea.

Be that as it may, the quilling technique was enriched by traditions different countries and times. And unlike the first products made in it, it has reached us intact.

Types of products

Of course, the differences between Western and Eastern quilling crafts are as noticeable as the difference in the mentality of people from different countries. Thus, European models are simple, clear, and do not require a long time to complete. In the East, craftsmen painstakingly work on every curl and create massive, often three-dimensional paintings, figurines and jewelry.

Idea! Depending on the preferences of the person to whom you want to present quilling for a birthday or other occasion, you can choose the style of execution. If the recipient is interested in Japanese culture, sakura, voluminous and consisting of many complex details, will be just to his liking. Amateur modern you can please with a laconic and uncomplicated, but at the same time thoughtful postcard.

4. Scissors. Sharp and thin ones work best.

To do this, you need to take a strip of paper, twist it into a tube, and then flatten it on one side. Having made several of these parts, you can lay out a flower that will decorate any postcard.

You can create a more complex craft from similar parts. For example, a heart with candy. For this, in addition to the tools already listed, you will need the following materials:

1. Sweetie. It is desirable that the treat be round, but its packaging protrudes beyond the contents on both sides.
2. Thick white cardboard base.
3. Colored (red or pink) paper.
4. Transparent narrow tape.

From the top line of the circle you need to step back a centimeter and put a point and draw a semicircle through it. Cut out the resulting oval.
  • Step 2. Next comes the preparation of the tubes, as described above. By the way, you don’t have to squeeze them. Then you will get closed, round spirals. Or, on the contrary, you can close the skein from both sides, getting something similar to an eye.

Advice! Use one or both options at your discretion.
