Today you are going to make some of the flower card shapes which are required for quilling. Let’s begin!
How to make flower card shapes
Materials:
- Quilling strips
- Paper sheets
- Quilling pen
- Craft glue
- Circle sizer.
Procedure:
First flower card:
- Take two quilling strips and a paper sheet, place the sheet on your desk.
- Take a quilling pen and the strips, roll the strips around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coils from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the loose coils out.
- Pertain glue on the coils ends to secure them.
- After getting ready with the coil, pinch one side then give it a teardrop shape then bend the tip of them to make a bent teardrop shape.
- Follow these steps and make two more of these bending teardrops. We will need a total of four of these.
- Take another colour quilling strip and a quilling pen, roll the strip around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coil from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the coil out.
- Pertain glue on the coil’s end to secure it.
- Pinch both sides of it that will give it a marquee shape.
- Follow these steps and make one more of that marque. We will need a total of two of these.
- Take another colour paper quilling strip.
- Fold it symmetrically and place it over the paper sheet.
- Glue the sides together and leave the above part making it look like branches then place it.
- Take the teardrops and marques, place them on the sheet and attach with glue.
- Place the two teardrops together and one marque over them. Place them over the branches you made previously.
- Take another colour quilling strip and a quilling pen, roll the strip around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coil from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the coil out.
- Pertain glue on the coil’s end to secure it.
- Pinch both sides of it that will give it a marquee shape.
- Place this marque on a side of the branches that will look like a leaf.
- Your first flower card shape will be formed!
Second flower card:
- Take a quilling strip and a paper sheet, place the sheet on your desk.
- Take a quilling pen and the strip, roll the strip around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coil from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the coil out.
- Pertain glue on the coil’s end to secure it.
- After getting ready with the coil, pinch both sides of it that will make a marquee shape.
- Follow these steps and make three of them. We will need a total of four of them.
- Take a quilling strip and a quilling pen, roll the strip into the quilling pen.
- Pull off the coil after rolling it.
- Take a circle sizer, put the coil into a middle shape circle and then roll it with your hands.
- Apply glue at the end of the strip to properly secure it.
- After getting ready with the coil, pinch one side of the coil.
- Hold two other sides of the coil and pinch, which will create a triangle shape.
- Take another quilling strip, fold it into half from the middle.
- Take a quilling pen, roll one side of the quilling strip inwards and release it halfway.
- Quil the other side outwards, It should be a little closer to the midpoint of the strip than the other one. It will create a symmetrical V scroll.
- Make sure the height of the scrolls are the same and use the quilling pen to give it more waves.
- Apply glue in the middle of the scrolls to make them together.
- Place the V scroll in the paper sheet with glue.
- Take the triangle shape you made previously apply some glue on it then place it in the middle of the V scroll.
- Take the marques and attach them around the triangle shape with glue.
- Take a half paper quilling strip, fold it into half from the middle.
- Take a quilling pen, roll one side of the quilling strip inwards and release it halfway.
- Quil the other side outwards, It should be a little closer to the midpoint of the strip than the other one. It will create another symmetrical V scroll.
- Place this small V scroll over the top of the flower with glue.
- Your second flower card shape will be ready!
Third flower card:
- Take a quilling strip and a paper sheet, place the sheet on your desk.
- Take a quilling pen and the strip, roll the strip around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coil from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the coil out.
- Pertain glue on the coil’s end to secure it.
- After getting ready with the coil, pinch one side and pinch another side close to that. Hold both points and pinch together. It will create a tulip shape.
- Follow these steps and make two more tulip shapes. We will need a total of three of these.
- Take another colour quilling strip and a quilling pen, roll the strip around the quilling pen to make a coil.
- Take out the coil from the pen.
- Place the coil over a circle sizer’s big circle shape.
- Pull the coil out.
- Pertain glue on the coil’s end to secure it.
- Pinch both sides of it that will give it a marquee shape. Bend the tip of the sides that will make a bend marque shape.
- Take another quilling strip, fold it into half from the middle.
- Take a quilling pen, roll one side of the quilling strip inwards and release it halfway.
- Quil the other side in the same offsets this previous one, It should be a little closer to the midpoint of the strip than the other one. It will create a symmetrical V scroll.
- Make sure the height of the scrolls are not the same and use the quilling pen to give it more waves.
- Take the V scroll and attach them with glue then place it on the paper sheet.
- Take the tulip shapes and attach sides of a side of the V scroll.
- Take the bend marque and put it on the other side of the scroll and attach it with glue.
- Your third flower card shape will be ready!
These are some flower shapes of cards. Commemorate them and apply them to your work!
