Quilling - a popular trend in modern needlework, using the technique of paper twisting, you can create amazing pictures on any topic. If you have not yet experimented in this area, you can take the first steps by mastering quilling with the example of the master class "Rowan branch".
For work you will need:
- colored paper (green, orange, red);
- stationery knife (scissors);
- skewer (toothpick, awl);
- glue;
- cardboard for warp.
- The first thing to begin with is the quilling of mountain ash - the preparation of strips of paper. Optimum width 4-5mm, can be purchased
- The branch of mountain ash in the quilling technique consists of leaves and berries. First, prepare the leaves. You can try to make a more air version. Take a strip, one end gently glue with glue and wrap it in a loop - this will be the top sheet. Stepping back 1cm, bend the strip to the right.
- We make a loop, glue it at the base and push the strip this time to the left. Now bend the symmetrical loop and re-glue the paper at the bottom.
- Then back down 1cm and again repeat the previous elements - bend the strip, make a leaf-loop, glue it and create a paired sheet. It is possible to increase the size of leaves in each next row by several millimeters.
- The bunch of rowan in quilling technique will look more interesting if you combine the leaves that you learned to do above, with twisted leaves. To do this, we take the skewer, wind the green strip on it, loosen it a little (you can use a ruler with circles to save the size of leaves), and then glue the tip. Now you can give the shape of the sheet to the resulting element, for this two fingers are gently squeezed on both sides by a relaxed circle.
- We will continue the master-class on creating rowan in the quilling technique by twisting bright berries. Unlike openwork leaves, berries should turn out dense. We take a strip of orange or red color and evenly wind on the skewer. Taking out the skewer from the middle, without releasing the element, glue the tip.
- As you can see, quilling is easy, the mountain ash is almost ready, it remains to collect all the basic elements in a single composition. Take the cardboard for the base, position your elements with your creative glance and paste. Now you can fantasize, any ideas are suitable! For example, it is not necessary that all the leaves are green, they can be made autumn yellowish-orange. And also the quilling paintings with the image of mountain ash can be volumetric, lay the elements not in one flat row, but in several "floors".
In a similar way, a bunch of grapes can be made in the quilling technique.
