Paper quilling craft is relatively easy to master. A little practice, a creative mind and you are on you way to producing some great works of art.
However, before you can begin creating pieces of art in quilling crafts you must first master how to create basic coil shape from which as you will discover all of the other shapes you will use are based.
Before we start with the quilling instructions you will need to have the following items:-
1. A Paper Quilling Tool. In years gone by the ladies of the day would use a feather quill to roll the coils, today a slotted needle is the easiest tool to begin with.
2. Strips of Colored Paper, available in various widths and a multitude of colors.
3. Craft Glue. You will no doubt find your own preference but the most important thing to remember when starting out is that you purchase tacky glue which is clear when dry.
Now that you have these bits and bobs it is time begin practising getting the basic coil right.
In the beginning it is a good idea to use a slotted quilling tool as this will make things a bit easier. As you grow in confidence and progress you may want to change to using a needle or a toothpick.
First thing is to carefully place the end of a quilling paper strip into the slot of the quilling tool. Ensure that you hold the quilling tool with the hand you use pro dominantly and the paper should be held between your index finger and thumb. Carefully and slowly at first turn the quilling tool, winding the paper round the tip evenly and with the edges level.
Once you have rolled enough paper to make the size of coil you want hold it for a minute or so, let go of the paper and tip the tool over to allow the paper coil to drop onto your work surface. Do not panic when the paper begins to unravel a little – this will always happen. Before glueing the end of the paper coil into place it is best to allow it to relax and uncoil itself a little. Once you are sure it has stopped use a cocktail stick or something similar to put a very small amount of tacky glue onto the end of the paper and stick it into place. You will find that you will probably have to hold the paper together for a moment or two until the glue dries.
Do not get stressed if your first few coils are not perfect – it takes practice!
Once you have your coil shapes it is then time to pinch and squeeze them into the shapes you need to build up an image.
Practise these basic coils before you try shaping.
Loose Coil.
This is the starting place for many of the shapes. This is merely a basic coil which has been released from the quilling tool immediately so that it can unwind into a loose coil. (If you remember a tight coil is held on the quilling tool for a minute or so to allow it is keep its shape.) Add a little glue to the end and there you have a loose coil. If you find that your coil does not unwind itself into a loose shape next time try to remove it from your quilling tool a little more quickly. Loose coils can be formed into triangles, squares and many other more complex shapes like hexagons but it takes some practise!
The Tear-Drop.
This shape is very often used to create eye shapes and is fairly straight forward to make. Begin with a loose coil then pinch one end – this will produce the tear-drop shape. A little tip – only pinch the two outer layers of paper from the coil allowing the inner coil to remain in tact and look great!
Eccentric Loose Coil
These are made far more easily using a circle template. For this shape too you once again start with a loose coil. Then with the help of a cocktail stick, toothpick or pin push all the inner rings of paper over to one side of the coil. Put glue along the top edge of the coil where all the rings meet. You will have to hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
Once you have gotten to grips with these very basic shapes and using the tools more confidently you can begin to create your own quilling crafts masterpieces.
