Christmas Card Wreath
Material 3 mm quilling paper –purple red and light green in color, purple
shiny card 8 cm x 13 cm, A4 size paper – white and medium green in color,
quilling tool, a pair of small scissors, card mount, craft adhesive.

Making the Card Take the card mount and draw a rectangle shape with a
pencil behind the opening flap. The rectangle should be large enough to
accommodate the florets and candles. You may refer to the card above. Cut
along the lines with the scissors to create a rectangular aperture.

Now, you shall make the florets. You may need twelve florets in all. Take the
medium green paper, and cut strips 1.4 cm wide by 24 cm long. Spread out
the green paper on your work board and mark out 12 x 1.4 cm strips and rule
lines along the length.

Fold the strip in half length-wise, and clip off the top of the strip at an angle
starting at the folded side. Cut along the folded edge at a distance of 2 mm,
and continue to cut until about three quarters of the way i.e. stop just 1/4 th of
the way from the other edge. When you reach the bottom of the length, cut off
the triangle.


Fold the top corner with the open edge into the quilling tool and roll the strip.
As the rolling continues, the cut portion will start to fold out side ways and
your floret will begin to take shape. Glue the end of the floret to prevent it from
uncoiling.

Next, to make the flames for the candles, roll the red paper over the quilling
tool, remove it and drop it on the work board to uncoil. Glue the end, and
pinch on of the ends and give a slight twist to form the flame. Make three such
flames for the three candles.


Next, you shall make three candles. Take the white paper and cut it to the
size 8 cm x 12 cm. Spread the paper out and roll it around a 5 mm knitting
needle and glue the end. Pull out the knitting needle, and cut the top edge of
the rolled paper at an angle.

You shall now make three Christmas roses. Take the purple strip of paper
and make five tight coils using the quilling tool. Glue the ends before removing
from quilling tool. Push out the centers of the coils softly, to form bell shapes.
Apply some glue on the inner side to retain the shape. Flatten the coils slightly
at the sides to form five petals.

Place the petals in a circular pattern, as shown, and glue them together at the
sides. Take the light green paper and roll a tight coil on the quilling tool. Glue
the end. Place the tight coil into the center of the petals and glue it securely.

Gather all the items you made and place them in position. Place one floret
apiece on the top and bottom of the oval shape. Next, place the other florets
along the edge of the oval. Take the three candles and snip off the bases at
different lengths to vary the overall length of the candles. Place them at the
base of the oval and glue them. Glue the three flames accordingly. Glue the
three Christmas roses at the bottom of the base just above the florets as
shown.


Daisy Card

Material The material required for making the Daisy Card is 10 mm quilling
paper - one strip of light pink, 3 mm one strip of green, 1.5 mm one strip of
yellow, and two strips of green. In addition, you will require a quilling tool,
scissors, white card (10 x 15 cm), craft-adhesive.

Making the Card For making the head of the daisy, take the 10 mm light
th
pink paper and use about one-third of its length to fringe it finely. Take 1/4
length of the yellow paper, and glue its end to one end of the light pink paper.
Take the yellow end and start rolling it tightly on the quilling tool. Glue the end
to prevent it from unrolling. After removing the roll from the tool, bend the
daisy petals outwards. Your daisy head is ready.

Making the bud is a simple process. Take the light pink paper and fringe one
eighth of its length very fine. Roll it tightly over the quilling tool and glue the
end to prevent it from unrolling. Now, take the green paper and use 1/4 th of its
length for making a tight coil over the quilling tool. Glue its end so it does
uncoil. Now push out the center gently to form a cup and add some glue to
the inside so that it does come to its original position again. Fit the light pink
part into the green cup and glue them. Your bud is ready.


Take the green paper and fold 20 cm of it in half. Apply glue on the inside and
stick them together to form a thick flat strip. You will need two such strips of
unequal heights - the longer one for the flower and the shorter one for the
bud.

Next, you will need two leaves. Take the green paper and cut two one-quarter
lengths. Roll them using the quilling tool to make two loose coils. Glue the
end. When dry, pinch one of the ends to form the leaf.

Gather all the pieces and fix them accordingly on the card. If you want to add
some designs on your own, you can do so. Stickers are available on the
market, which you can use on your cards, like in the above illustration. The
four golden corner designs are stickers that have been affixed on the card.


Bunch of Flowers

Material You may need 3 mm quilling paper in red, pink, and green colors.
For a better effect, select three different shades of green. In addition, you will
also require 5 mm white quilling paper, a small quilling tool, craft-adhesive,
and an SF-3P cream/brown oval card mount.

Making the Card Make four leaves from the green paper using the ‘alternate
side-looping method’. The leaves vary in design. Provide different number of
side loops to each leaf. You can also make them of different sizes to give the
flowers a natural appearance.


Hold two strips of the green paper together and form loops, like those
illustrated above. To alter the height, adjust the size of the loop.

Fold the two papers to create a loop and adjust the inner side to create loops
of different sizes.

Fold the papers to create a loop on the other side now, making adjustments to
form smaller loops.


You may make as many leaves as you want this way, creating loops on either
side. The number of loops on either side should give a balanced look to the
leaves. Next, fold the paper at the base, as shown in the above illustration.

If you have used three different shades of green for winding, snip the end of
the middle paper. The ends of the other two papers should be wound around
the loops and glued at the base to form a leaf. Snip off the excess strips.

To create loops for different styles of leaves, take a lighter green shade strip
and fold to create multiple loops, as shown above. Stick the end with glue and
clip off the extra strip.


Next, you may try making petals for the flowers. Take the red paper and
create 24 half petals from 12 lengths, and from the pink paper make 12 half
petals of smaller size. Coil these papers loosely, pinch the ends, and flatten
one of the sides (as shown above).

Next, we shall make flower centers to provide more depth and detail to each
flower. Use the 5 mm white paper and snip off 1/3 rd of its length. This will be
sufficient to make three flower centers. Using the quilling tool, wind two or
three turns of the paper, making a right angle fold, as shown in the above
illustrations. Keep rolling the paper over the tool until it is straight again (Pic
2). Fold the paper over at a right angle again (Pic 3). Roll it until it is straight,
as in Pic 2. Continue to roll, keeping the bottom tight. Remove rolled paper
from the tool and stick the end with glue.

Now, take the petals and pair them up, as shown. Apply glue along one flat
side of each pair and attach the pairs with their respective counterparts. Hold
until the glue dries.


Following the pattern given in the above illustrations, join the petals to form
the shape of flowers. Collect all other items you made and stick them on the
card as shown. Lay the leaves first, and then place the flowers on top. Let a
couple of petals of the pink flower overlap the top red flower. Similarly, let a
couple of petals of the top red flower overlap the lower red flower. Take the
flower centers and stick them in the center of each of the three flowers. Your
card is ready.
