I have long known that not only quilling is stolen from my blog, but almost everything written and photographed. Here is another example - the entire article, word for word, from my blog in Russian, which I closed for just this reason. The article was torn off in 2011, when the Russian blog was no longer alive, which means it was also from a stolen copy. And now it continues to spread on the Internet.

Comment by the author of the "compilation": "I'm very pleased that the information turned out to be useful not only to me. I'm only sorry that everything was posted in a "lump" not systematized, but copied what, in my opinion, is really interesting and important for work in this direction and information, as you probably noticed, taken from different sources. Very nice:(

And again, my eyes fell on the warning that hangs in front of my eyes as I write this, right under the "Publish" button: " Attention! We remind you of the inadmissibility of publishing materials protected by copyright, as well as "

Homemade stencils

Often the simplest "notions" are the most fascinating. I made simple stencils for the children and was satisfied no less than they were. Stencils are easy to make even for those who draw poorly; they take up no space at all; children are able to smear foam rubber with paint and print. And there is room for creativity: you can use different colors, even mix them, combine different prints, make prints of different densities, etc. And if you get bored - you can always make new stencils!

As usual, I tried to get by with improvised materials. In this case, these are shabby plastic folders. Folders have proved to be an excellent material for stencils, as they are easy to cut with a clerical knife or scissors, and after printing, they can simply be washed under the tap.

To make such a stencil, you must first draw an outline with a regular ballpoint pen. Can you circle any ready stencil(for example, we had several cardboard ones from the game), or push a suitable pattern onto the plastic. It remains only to cut it out - and you can print. From an A4 folder, 12 small stencils are obtained: 6 from each half.

For printing, you need paints and pieces of foam rubber, for example from an old sponge, one for each color. We smear the foam rubber with paint and poke it into the middle of the stencil. We use gouache, but I think any fairly thick paint will do. Stencil success to you :)

Stages of the sequence of making crafts:

We put a strip under the tooth No. 1.2 of the “Comb” tool, bend the tip, move it close to the base of the comb for ease of use and glue it.

Wrap the paper strip around tooth #2. Do not forget to glue each turn of the strip with glue.

Wrap the strip around tooth number 3.

Wrap the strip around tooth number 4.

Wrap the strip around tooth number 5.

We wrap the strip around the tooth number 6.

Wrap the strip around tooth number 7. Cut off the rest of the strip and glue its edge. We made one upper wing of the dragonfly, in the same way we make another wing.

Acting on the same principle, but we make 6 curls. We have made the first lower wing of the dragonfly, in the same way we are making another wing.

Acting on the same principle, but we make 8 curls. This will be the body of the dragonfly.

We take a half of the strip, bend it in half and alternately twist its ends with a quilling tool. These will be the antennae of the dragonfly.

Quilling is a word few people know. And it means the manufacture of figures from strips of paper twisted into spirals. Is it really that simple and easy to do? The variety of options will surprise you.

Next, I will tell you how to create beautiful things from plain paper. This type of activity will help you brighten up the long winter evenings or make a beautiful thing with your own hands and give it to your loved one. Or maybe after my lessons, it will become a hobby for you and will even bring a small income.

But in order to understand what it is, to find out who invented it, let's plunge into the history of quilling.

A bit of history

This art form was invented by monks in Europe in the Middle Ages. When they cut the edges of the gilded books and wound them around the ends of bird feathers. Thus, something like a golden miniature was obtained.

Hence the name quilling. From the English word “quill”, which translates as “bird feather”. At the very beginning, this was done in poor churches, especially in the 19th century, quilling was a favorite pastime of noble ladies.

In the twentieth century, it was forgotten. And at the end of the last century, quilling began to return to people's homes as a hobby.

As a result of his festivities around the world, their own schools began to form in each country. And each nation brought something of its own to this art form. For example, Eastern schools differ from European ones in the complexity of patterns, which allows Eastern people to create masterpieces of art.

And the Korean school differs from the European one in that the core is not used when winding the paper, and everything is done manually. The work of the Korean school is very complex. In our country, this art became popular at the end of the twentieth century.

Therefore, few of us know this art form thoroughly. I will introduce you to the basics of this art form, give advice, give examples and try to give you all my knowledge. Let's start with the basics.

But before you start doing this kind of creativity, you need to prepare. That is to buy necessary tools for work.

List of required tools

Below I have given a list of must-have tools if we want to create all sorts of beauty out of paper.

You can not spend money on buying quilling kits. And to make the necessary tools from household appliances.

For this, ordinary female nail scissors with straight ends, an awl or a toothpick are suitable. Between the two ends of the scissors, you need to put a long strip of paper, gently squeeze it so as not to cut it and wind it up. With an awl and a toothpick, they act a little differently: put the edge of the paper on the end of the awl and hold it with a finger, and with the other hand the rest of the strip is wound onto it.

Now, knowing and keeping the tools that we need next to us, we can move on to learning the basics of quilling.

Quilling Basics for Beginners

The production of paper products begins with a drawing. In this form of art, the drawing is a scheme according to which in the future it will be made unusual craft, which can bring a bit of brightness and unforgettableness to your interior. First, let's look at how to draw simple circuits and which ones are obtained magic crafts on the example of making a snowflake.

We will need:

Pencil.
Colored paper.
Scissors.

Now we take A4 paper and fold the sheet so that we get a right triangle. Cut off the unnecessary excess part and fold it three times. Then we draw patterns on it and cut them out.

When they mastered the initial and simple technique making crafts, which we discussed above, move on to more complex ones. Let's learn how to roll. It is the main element in the quilling technique.

We will need:

Colored paper.
Pencil.
PVA glue.
Scissors.

Roll making rod

At the very beginning, it is necessary to outline with a pencil the future composition on the workpiece for greeting card or the place where this product will be when completed. The next thing we need is to make a roll. To do this, we need to take a thin and long strip of paper and wind it onto a specially prepared rod.

After what has been done, we must let the roll bloom. The end of the roll must be carefully glued to the spiral that turned out. Now you can give the roll any look, be it a drop, a heart or a month.

Advice

In order not to get smeared in glue, it is necessary to apply it to the details of the product quite a bit. This can be done with a toothpick.

Special quilling paper for sale. Use it better.

And so we got to the main elements of quilling.

Essential elements

Now let's look at what parts the creations in quilling consist of. Every job starts with tight spiral. This is the first element in quilling when preparing a product.

Above, when we made the roll, in fact, we used this element. But then we did not yet know its true name. Now we know it.

Once again, repeat the process of creating a tight spiral. A rod is taken, a strip of narrow paper is wound onto it. And the tip of the latter is carefully glued to the spiral.

For your information

If you are right-handed, hold the strip with your left hand and the rod with your right.
If the strip is double-sided, then its back part should look towards the rod.
The rod must be rotated clockwise.

The next element is the "free helix". It is made in the same way as a "tight spiral". But after we have finished winding it, we need to remove the spiral from the rod and let it unwind a little.

Now we have learned how to create various kinds of spirals. The same technology is used to create a “curl” figure. But at the end of the work, the tip of the paper tape does not stick and hangs freely in the air.

In order to make a drop, you need to squeeze one part of the “free spiral” shape with your fingers and hold for a few seconds. This is done so that the figure takes the form of a drop. You can also bend the tip of the “drop” shape, getting a slightly different “curved drop” element.

Advice

If you are just starting to learn quilling - never rush!

Well, we have considered simple forms of quilling. Now it's time to move on to more complex ones. Such forms are obtained from two or more put together.

Complex shapes in quilling

The complex element "horns" is created from two "free spirals" twisted in different directions.

For him, a long strip of paper is taken and broken in half. The right side is twisted in one direction, the left - in the opposite direction. Such an element can be attached to a fun greeting card.

Underwater theme - will decorate a house near the sea

The next shape will be a "heart".

It is done in exactly the same way as the "horns". Only the directions in which the spirals are wound change. And the junction is clamped with fingers. This type of product is ideal for decorating a gift for your girlfriend or wife.

The next in difficulty will be the "crescent".

It is made from a simple "eye" shape, only the opposite corners are bent up. It turns out something similar to the letter "C". For the form, which in psychology denotes a leader, namely for a triangle, a “free spiral” is taken. Then it is compressed in three parts with the fingers and held for a while.

The next element is obtained from the shape of a triangle.

To do this, bend two opposite sides to the center. And we get "paws". To make a "square" shape, I take a "free spiral". Then I compress it in four parts, so that I get a square.

So we got acquainted with the main forms of products in quilling. And now we know what tools we need for this kind of creativity. And we have some base that will allow us to move on to the creation of more complex products.

Quilling flowers

Such flowers will serve as a kind of transition from simple to complex for a novice quilling master. In fact, this is not the most complex product, but it contains many simple elements that complicate the manufacture of the product. Thus, the novice creator receives invaluable experience and beauty in his home, made with his own hands.

To create such flowers, you need to make a “drop” from a “free spiral”. And in order for the flower petals to have a different color, you need colored paper.

As you can see, the core of the flower is created from a "free spiral". Next, the core of the flower is first glued to the card or the surface that you are planning to decorate. Around this figure, I glue the "drops" that I already made in advance.

At the very beginning, you need to draw a template according to which they will be made. It is necessary to divide the strips of paper in half. There should be three. Then I twist the first spiral. Then I insert it into the hole in the stencil. It is necessary to make the remaining spirals the same in size. Therefore, I find out that the hole is one centimeter, which means that the other four spirals will be the same size.

In order not to damage the workpiece, I pull it out carefully and with a toothpick, and then let it unwind a little. And only after that I glue the tip to the spiral. Then I place these blanks in the center of the layout drawn in advance.

For beginners, it is advisable to use pins to attach the spirals to the layout. And then they can be glued.

Now we have learned how to make complex snowflakes. The next step will be the manufacture of decorative jewelry in the form of lovely ladies' earrings. They are perfect for a birthday present for your girlfriend.

Making women's earrings

To create such a piece of jewelry, much loved by our women, we need:

Colored paper. I will have blue and white.
Scissors.
Quilling rod.
Board for quilling.
PVA glue.
Pencil.

At the very beginning, in order for such jewelry to turn out symmetrical, I will have to imagine what the earrings will look like and draw a diagram on paper. This diagram will serve as a template for gluing the various parts together.

Step-by-step instruction

I cut out six strips of one centimeter wide from blue paper and glue them together.
Three strips of white paper and glued to the end of the resulting ribbon of blue stripes. And I also add three strips of blue paper glued together. I do this twice to make two long ribbons.
Then, with the help of a rod, I turn them into a “tight spiral” shape. We discussed the creation of this form at the very beginning.
I again make the same tapes, only I cut the strips into two. That is, instead of six strips, I cut out four from blue paper, I also leave three from white paper and glue them together, adding two strips and blue paper at the end.
With the help of the rod, I also turn this tape into a "tight spiral". Only now it turned out to be smaller than the first. And I create another such spiral.

Take your time, this technique does not like being in a hurry.

Step-by-step instruction

And for the third time, I do the same with the paper as I did the first two times, only I reduce the number of strips of the first blue ribbons to two.
Again, I turn the created tape into a “tight spiral”. Like the first time, I will need two of these spirals. You have probably already guessed why I needed paired forms of quilling. Of course, because there should be two ladies' earrings! Now I lay out the prepared forms on the previously created template and glue them together.
Lastly, I cut out a few more strips of blue paper, glue them together and twist them with a rod. But now I turn the shape not from a “tight spiral”, but into a “loose spiral” and pinch it around the edges with my fingers and stretch it slightly to get the “eye” shape.
I make four of these types of figures. Two for each earring and stick according to the template.
The final step will be threading the ring from the fastener through the holes in the shape of "eyes". The picture below shows what an excellent beauty I got.

So we learned how to create complex and beautiful ladies' jewelry. Let's now try to make an unusual quilling flower.

Making an unusual flower

Now we come to more serious things. I will tell you and show you how to make a volumetric quilling flower. To do this, you need to purchase or get tools already prepared in advance, namely:

Step-by-step instruction

I take a sheet of white paper and divide it into strips three centimeters wide. Then I cut them and glue the strips one by one along the length. The result is one long ribbon.
Now we need to color it. Apply paint to the sponge with a pipette. We apply yellow ink on one half of the sponge, red paint on the other half.
Then, with the help of a sponge, we color our prepared long ribbon of white paper. And after the paint dries on the paper tape, cut out the pattern using curly scissors. What should work can be seen in the picture.
Now let's move on to creating the petals for our flower. They must be cut so that both the petals and the corners sticking out between them. In this case, you need to leave four millimeters at the edge undercut so that the tape does not tear. As shown in the picture below.
Then I make the core for the flower. To do this, I twist a strip of quilling paper into a tight spiral. The diameter of the roll should match the diameter of the pencil.

If the diameter is smaller, then you can safely add another tape.

Glue should only be applied to the uncut edge!

Step-by-step instruction

The next step in creating a flower will be glueing the dyed ribbon with glue from the side of the paint application.
Then I glue the flower petals with the core, as shown in the figure.
After the flower is twisted, it is necessary to glue its bottom with PVA glue to make sure that it will not fall apart in the future.
Now I remove the flower from the rod and straighten its edges with my fingers. In the end, this is what a miracle happened.
Of course, at your discretion - you can straighten the edges, or you can not. I straightened them in order to insert a “pestle” there, and thereby make the flower look more like a real one.
I cut off part of the sharpened pencil, smear the cut part with glue and insert it into the center of the flower. That's what we get!

Any of these products can decorate postcards for the first school day of the year, please the child with its beauty and unusualness.

Before that, we considered the quilling technique for adults. But you can also involve children in this needlework. Thus, they will develop breadth and originality of thinking.

Quilling for children

According to psychologists and pediatricians, today's children have poorly developed hand and finger motor skills. For them, it is difficult to hold a pen or pencil correctly and firmly enough in their hand.

Therefore, it is difficult for them to learn standard skills and simple self-service in life. Quilling for children contributes to the development of motor skills of this type. At the same time, it raises the level of logical thinking.

The development of fine motor skills helps to increase attention and memory in a child. All this will be extremely necessary for him in his future life, and the quilling technique can be very helpful in this.

Although spring is not yet coming, the topic of today's lesson relates to the warmer season. Consider a dragonfly master class in quilling technique. This unusual gift, unique and inimitable at the same time, can be given to winter holidays, and, as you know, there will be a lot of them ahead. Such a spring souvenir will please a loved one, remind you of the gentle warm sun. Before the holidays, shop windows are full of all sorts of bright gifts, but it’s much more pleasant to receive a hand-made souvenir. A quilling dragonfly can become such a present for New Year's celebrations, and a step-by-step MK will help with this.

Paper twisting technology has been known to many older people since ancient times, a forgotten art at this stage of our existence is beginning to revive. And those novice masters who have not yet encountered quilling can quickly learn everything with the help of a detailed step by step instructions and the pictures, templates and sketches attached below. Thanks to the growing popularity of this art, a lot of unique master classes on various topics have appeared. Twisting colored stripes of paper has two themes - this is the Eastern and European technique of quilling crafts. Our exclusive souvenir postcard can be attributed to the Euro-style, as the number of details is concise and minimal. It will serve as a separate addition to the main present.

This note will reveal the secrets of craftsmanship and the technology of making a quilling card with a dragonfly, which will please both the beautiful half of humanity and the stronger sex, because it is not only cute, but also brings warm summer memories.

So let's see how to do original gift quilling dragonfly on a simple example, twisting individual figures and connecting them together. In the work of a quilling dragonfly for beginners, it will come in handy:

a piece of white cardboard;
paper of two colors;
stationery knife;
scissors;
several toothpicks;
a tube of PVA glue;
quilling ruler.

Step by step process. Cut with a clerical knife the required number of white and black stripes along the entire length of the sheet. Move the tool gently 4 mm each time. Use black stripes on the body of the dragonfly. Screw them onto a toothpick. The first paper roll is the edge of the tail, wrap it tightly and glue it. The second - dissolve in a ruler with a circumference of 8 mm (no more), the third - up to 10 mm and the fourth - up to 12 mm.

To make a dragonfly head, glue a couple of black strips together and let dry, wrap it around a toothpick, dissolve it in a ruler up to 14 mm, glue the edge, press to get a drop, round part squeeze a little. For the peephole, it is necessary to tightly wind the black stripes and glue them.

Let's move on to the phased production of wings, wrap twelve white stripes on toothpicks and dissolve up to 10 mm. We got a couple of babinki, squeeze either side to get a drop. Press the remaining ten pieces on both sides to get a figurine in the form of an eye. Wrap a couple of white strips on a toothpick and dissolve up to 12 mm, glue and squeeze on either side, this is how droplets should be made (these are components for small wings).

Assembling the wings yourself will not be difficult at all, since all the elements are ready. Big wing - take a drop, glue eyes on both sides, wrap the resulting figure with a black stripe. With the second eye, do the same, wrap it with a black stripe, glue it. Got a big wing. We do the same with small wings, see the photo. Collecting crafts will be no less interesting and exciting. To do this, you need to paste the dragonfly on a sheet of white cardboard and insert it into a suitable design frame.

We examined the dragonfly master class in quilling creativity and now we can easily make this original craft on our own.

Below we will see at least interesting video how to make a dragonfly from quilling.
