The Art of Quilling Paper - Busy bees

If you're not familiar with this art form, quilling is the art of rolling small strips of paper into coils. From a loose circle you can create different shapes like teardrop, marquise.

 

 

Supplies

● A4 coloured cardboard: yellow, orange, black and green

● slotted tool to make the curling coils (the pink tool)

● pencil to make the marks where to cut the cardboard

● glue

●scissors

The first step is to cut the 1cm wide 21cm long strips from the A4 paper. As mentioned before you can buy ready cut strips.

 

 

To make the bee I need 1and 1/2 black strip and two 1/2strips of yellow; and two little pieces of yellow to put on their body.

For the flower I will need one yellow strip, five orange strips, and three green strips and a long green one for the stem.

 

 

After I finished all the pieces including the leaves, made from teardrop shapes, I began gluing them on the white paper.
