What is quilling?

For those who do not know what the quilling technique is, I would like to give a short excursion. This type of needlework is considered very simple, but at the same time, very beautiful. Quilling does not require expensive tools and materials. All you need to work is a good mood, an interesting idea and time.

When creating compositions, paper strips with a width of 3, 4, 6 and 10 mm are used. There can be several devices for twisting.

There are professional curling machines that are sold in specialized stores, as well as improvised tools, such as a tapestry needle with a large eye and a round wooden stick 10 cm long.


It is also advisable to stock up on tweezers with flat tips. It is needed to hold the paper blank, apply glue to it and stick it to the surface.

As for other devices that are necessary for working with the quilling technique, they can be found in any home. These are scissors (preferably with sharp ends), a ruler, toothpicks, PVA glue.

If you decide to seriously engage in this type of needlework, then stores sell entire sets that include all the necessary tools and you do not have to assemble them separately.

When deciding to make such a New Year's surprise for someone close to you, you must understand what or who you will glue from strips of paper. There are a huge number of themed crafts on the Internet and sometimes it’s hard to figure out which one you like best.

Among such abundance, you can choose the main “figurants” that you might like - these are Christmas trees, snowflakes and cockerels. The last craft will be not only a wonderful, but also an appropriate gift, because 2017 is the year of the Fire Rooster. So your Petya, made using the quilling technique, will look nice under the Christmas tree.

"Bright Cockerel"

It would seem impossible to create such wonderful pictures and figures from ordinary strips of paper. But as practice shows, the main thing is perseverance and a little imagination, and the rest is a matter of little things. If you decide to make a cockerel for the New Year 2017, then choose the ideal example for yourself (photos are presented below), stock up on all the necessary materials and get down to business.

Examples of how to make a New Year's rooster can be found in any format and size. These can be either free-standing figures or the silhouette of a bird.



There are quite a few basic forms for quilling that help you create real masterpieces from paper. The picture clearly shows how this or that curl should look.


Go for it! You will succeed, and after a while you will be able to present a cute panel or a wonderful picture with a cockerel in the title role.

Original snowflake

The most common decoration for the New Year holiday are snowflakes. We hang them on the Christmas tree, draw or sculpt them on the windows, and make garlands out of them. Why not go beyond the usual boundaries and create wonderful winter compositions using the quilling technique as a basis?! Put in a little effort and you will have beautiful openwork snowflakes at home, which you can also give to friends as souvenirs.

To create a New Year's snowflake you will need:

  • special paper for quilling;
  • scissors;
  • ruler;
  • stationery knife;
  • toothpick.

Step 1. Cut strips of quilling paper 25-27 mm long and 3-5 mm wide.



Step 2. Take a toothpick - it will be your main tool in this work. Cut off the sharp tip on one side and use a stationery knife to make a small incision - about 1 cm.

Step 3. Insert the first strip of paper into the cut and slowly twist it into a spiral. Make sure that the paper is curled and not just a toothpick. There is no need to rush in this matter, because then the craft may not work out.

Step 4. The finished spiral must be removed from the toothpick and placed on a flat surface so that it unwinds slightly.

Step 5. Apply a little glue to the end of the strip and glue the spiral.

Step 6. To make one snowflake, you must use the same principle to make several similar curls of different shapes and sizes.

Step 7 Fold the resulting spirals into a snowflake, carefully gluing each piece.

Volumetric Christmas tree

This bright New Year's composition can be an excellent table decoration, as well as a wonderful gift for a loved one, colleague or relative.

To create a voluminous Christmas tree you will need:

  • scissors;
  • quilling paper;
  • ruler-pattern with circles of different diameters;
  • PVA glue;
  • toothpick;
  • tweezers.

If you don't have a quilling tool, a regular toothpick with a cut end can easily replace it.

Step 1. To work, take special green paper and cut it into several dozen strips 3 mm wide, and also cut brown paper into strips 7 mm wide.

Step 2. Brown stripes need to be wound into loose curls, for example onto a regular marker. Lubricate their ends with glue and glue them. Brown “barrels” are ready!





Step 3. Now you need to make green blanks. Wrap the paper around an awl (toothpick) and insert it into a size 16 ruler. Let it run free. To remove a curl from a ruler, you need to insert a toothpick into the center, slightly move it to the center and remove it.

Step 4. Glue the end of the spiral with PVA glue. Squeeze the curl slightly so that it takes the shape of a droplet. Prepare 10 of these droplets. Wrap each curl with a white strip of the same width and glue it. This is the first row of your Christmas tree.

Step 5. We make the second row using the same principle, only insert it into the circle numbered 15. Twist about 10 such curls. Glue the first two rows as shown in the photo.

Step 6. Now make spirals for the third row by inserting them into hole number 14. Glue them.

Step 7 For the fourth row you will need a circle of size 13. The same size must be taken for the 5th and 6th rows. Carefully glue all the parts to each other, as can be seen in the photo. Glue another “drop” onto the top. Decorate the Christmas tree with beads and it is ready!

The quilling technique as a form of applied art continues to gain momentum. It attracts with its openwork and ease of creating crafts. For those who are not in the know, let us explain: quilling is a technique of twisting strips of paper, shaping them into the desired shape and creating compositions. The latter, by the way, can easily receive a prize and the title of masterpiece.

Most often, the quilling technique is used to create holiday cards; they are decorated with openwork crafts. By the way, curled paper makes wonderful snowflakes for the New Year, so in December the theme of decorating cards is especially relevant.

Crafts using the quilling technique for the New Year

Snowflake

We will need:
  • glue;
  • strips of colored paper (you can use blanks from the store);
  • scissors;
  • threads;
  • matches;
  • beads.

Process of creation:
1.Twist the strip onto a match
Take a match and use a sharp knife to split the edge. Pinch the edge of the paper strip into the crevice of the match and begin to wrap it around the match. Don't do it too tightly to make the part more beautiful.
2.Make paper blanks
You will need 12 such blanks, so repeat the action 12 times.
3.Make a snowflake
Start forming a snowflake. Gently squeezing the round workpiece, give it the desired shape. Start gluing the parts together, forming them into a snowflake.
4.Glue the beads
Place beads around the perimeter of the entire snowflake. Make a loop from the thread and attach it to the snowflake. This craft will successfully decorate the New Year tree in your home.

Christmas tree. Option 1

We will need:
  • glue;
  • toothpick;
  • strips of green paper;
  • scrap paper;
  • beads;
  • glitters;
  • printouts-congratulations;
  • corner punchers;
  • ribbon;
  • snowflakes.
Make frequent cuts on the paper. To speed up this process, fold the strips in groups of 3 and then cut them.
Wrap the prepared strips around a toothpick and secure with glue. You should end up with a tight bud.

One Christmas tree requires 10 buds. Glue the buds onto the paper, and then fluff each one with your fingers, and you will see the buds bloom.

Process the corners of the rectangles with a decorative hole punch.

Make a bow from ribbon and glue beads in the center. Cut the paper towel into 1 by 1 centimeter squares.
Using the trimming method, make a snowdrift. For the trunk of the Christmas tree, use a paper bag handle.

Glue a printout with congratulations to the back of the cardboard.

Using green glitter, cover the lush buds of the Christmas tree with glitter. The forest beauty will sparkle, as if thousands of lights have been lit on it.

Christmas tree. Option 2

If you roll the quilling paper not into such tight rolls as in the previous master class, but give them a shape, you will get original Christmas trees.

Volumetric Christmas trees made of paper

If you glue and assemble quilling paper into one piece, you can get a three-dimensional Christmas tree. Decorate the crown of such a beauty with a gilded star. Don't ignore the Christmas tree decorations. Glue beads that will replace the paper Christmas tree with Christmas balls, apply artificial snow and glitter.

Postcard with decor using quilling technique

We suggest you make two cards using the quilling technique: the first one will depict a snowflake with a fir branch, and the second one will show a Christmas tree with gifts.

Snowflake with fir branch

We will need:
  • pin;
  • openwork hole punch;
  • paper of white, yellow and green colors, cut into strips (the width of each is no more than 0.5 centimeters);
  • ruler with circles of different diameters;
  • thick card paper.
First, cut out a rectangle. Make openwork elements in the corners using a decorative hole punch.

Take a sheet of paper and cut it into small strips. They are intended for the future snowflake.

Start rolling the strip and then insert the roll into the diametral ruler. The end of the strip must be glued so that the roll does not lose its shape. Then squeeze the edge of the circle - you should get a drop.

Make several of these details. When there are several details, you can begin to select the location for them on the postcard and form the snowflake itself.

Make the same details in green. Make a spruce branch from them.
Similar details are needed in yellow: they will form a candle.

Christmas tree with gifts

We will need:
  • pin;
  • openwork hole punch;
  • green and pink paper, cut into strips (each width is no more than 0.5 centimeters);
  • thick card paper;
  • glue.
First, let's prepare the card itself, the base. To do this, decorate a rectangle of thick paper with openwork corners.

Cut the green paper into strips and then roll them as you did in the previous version.

Make a drop by gently squeezing one edge of the piece.

Fold the finished parts into a Christmas tree, first attaching it to a postcard.

Make gift boxes. Use pink stripes for this. Sometimes use a pin to twist small parts.

As soon as all the details of the future postcard are ready, start assembling them into a craft. First, glue the Christmas tree. And place gifts under it.

By the way, use beautiful cardboard, as well as a quilling kit for your crafts. Using this technique you can create many New Year's motifs. Options for postcards and photos will come to your aid.

Tips for beginners in the quilling technique

To get a tight roll, you need to wind the paper tape tightly, and then secure the tip with glue.
If you first wind the strip tightly and then loosen it slightly, you get a so-called loose roll. You can give the workpiece the shape of a half-diamond or, for example, a drop; to do this, you need to flatten the part with your fingers. Most often, this technique is used when making flower petals.

For each form, experienced craftsmen use different techniques.
"Eye" shape. You need to squeeze the round workpiece on both sides at the same time. Shape "Square". First, make the “Eye” shape, then turn it vertically and squeeze the part again on the sides.
"Rhombus" shape. Make this part from the “Square” blank, slightly flattening the figure.
Triangle shape. First of all, make the “Drop” part, then grab the corner and flatten the base of the triangle.
Arrow shape. Twist the triangle piece, and then use your index finger to press the middle of the short side inward.
Crescent shape. This part is made almost like the “Eye” blank, only in a curved shape. The corners of the part are pinched with a shift, and not opposite each other.

Open forms:
"Heart." Fold the strip in the middle. Bend both free halves inward.
"Horns". Fold the strip in the middle. Twist both halves outward.
"Curl". Mark the middle of the strip, but do not fold it. Twist the ends towards the middle, but in different directions.
"Twig". Bend the strip approximately in a ratio of 1:2. Twist the ends in one direction.

The winter mood can be conveyed not only through emotions, but also expressed in paintings made using the quilling technique. Thanks to this style, they create various paper crafts and decorate them with openwork patterns and snowflakes. Additionally, they are decorated with sparkles, mother-of-pearl beads, ribbons - as your imagination allows.

Working with the quilling technique is quite painstaking and requires accuracy. Therefore, stock up on desire, patience, time - the final result of the work will depend on this.


To begin, prepare:

  • "winter" set of paper for quilling
  • special tool designed for this technique
  • base for the picture
  • scissors, pencil
  • pins
  • toothpicks
  • tweezers

Most often, winter snowflakes are made using this technique, which are then hung on the New Year tree or used to decorate a postcard. For beginning needlewomen, such DIY work will allow them to realize their ideas and potential as an artist.
