Flower Making (Quilling) - Part I

Sorry guys for the delay .... held up with lots of work and unable to spend time for this blog :( Okay moving on to flower making...... I am bit lazy today, to key-in ..... so I have just posted the pictures for each process.... and described in few words... If you have any questions/doubt, please feel free to ask me ... Materials Needed : Glue, Toothpicks, small sharp scissors, strips of colour papers (I used 15 cm length and 1cm width) Method: Step 1: Use 2 colour papers. Cut one strip into 2 halves. Again cut one half into two lengthwise. Step 2: Use the other colour strip. Fold into 4, and start cutting them carefully so that it looks like a fringe. Step 3: Glue the fringed paper and the half-cut paper. Step 4: With the help of the toothpick, slowly roll them. Toothpick should neither be tight nor loose, it should come out of it easily. Step 5: Roll completely and glue it at the end. Step 6: Remove the toothpick, and carefully press the cut strip, so that it becomes a beautiful flower. These are very simple flowers..... so flow your creativity, make your flowers, take a picture, publish it in your blog, and email it to me at illatharasi @ gmail dot com, by next wednesday (July 23rd). We will display all our flowers here :) Mine is displayed below: Next week, we will see a different design....... Keep checking!
