Quilled Autumn Roses Card
Materials Needed
- 3 mm quilling paper white and olive green in color
- some scraps of pink and red paper
- pair of scissors
- quilling tool
- tweezers
- heart-shaped paper punch
- gray paper 11 cm x 16 cm
- craft adhesive
- a white card mount
Instructions for Making the Card
Make ten roses following the procedure given here. Take the
heart-shaped paper punch and punch out three hearts from the red
paper.
Now, take the scissors and snip each heart shape from the bottom point
to approximately half-way up, as shown in the above illustration. Apply a
bit of glue to one side of the snipped half, and push both ends in the
opposite direction so that they overlap each other. Hold in that position
for a while until glued.
Stick the three hearts together at the base with glue (as shown
above).
Take the red paper and cut a 2 cm square. Snip off the corners and cut
a spiral from any of the edges going into the center (as shown above).
Wind the spiral around the quilling tool and stick its end with glue.
Remove the spiral from the tool and hold the glued part so that it does
not uncoil. Next, glue the spiral to the center of the pink flower.
Next, taking the quilling tool, make rolls (14 in number) from the
white quilling paper, and glue the end to prevent them from uncoiling.
They serve as little pegs.
Take the green paper, roll a length into a loose coil and stick the end
with glue. Pinch one of the ends to form dewdrops (as shown above). Make
four such dewdrops.
Roll a loose coil with the green paper and stick the end with glue.
Pinch the coil at both ends and push them together to create a shape
resembling a leaf. Make two of these shapes. Next, make two similar shapes
of slightly larger size to create larger leaves, as shown in the above
illustration. Make another loose coil of similar length and do not shape
it.
Take two complete lengths of green paper and glue them to form a thick
strip.
Card Arrangement
To form a bouquet, place the pieces on the card. Arrange the three
flowers placing them wider on the centerline, as shown in the illustration
below.
Now place the rest of the flowers, leaves and pegs as shown. Once you
are satisfied with the layout, glue the pieces on the card, handling them
with tweezers. Now, take the thick strip you earlier glued together, cut a
5 - 6 cm length and fold in half to form a ‘V’. Glue it on the card in the
space as shown in the illustration.
Cut six more strips 4 - 5 cm long. Clip one of the ends to form an
angle. Curve them slightly and fix them on the card as shown.
You can use your own color scheme, design and imagination to create as
many different cards as you can.
