Quilling Guidelines
Introduction
The timeless art of quilling has captivated creators for centuries, experiencing waves of popularity across the globe. Its enduring appeal proves its resilience as a captivating art form. In this guide, we will explore the intriguing techniques that define quilling.
Fundamental Techniques
At its core, quilling involves rolling a strip of paper around a tool to form a tight coil. It's important to use strips of the correct length and width to match your design. If using a slotted tool, ensure the strip is inserted correctly, holding the tool firmly while turning to create the coil. Use your other hand to guide the strip and maintain a tight coil. Once complete, detach the coil and glue the end to secure it, or leave it unattached for loose or tailed scrolls.
Basic Shapes
Coil
Start by rolling your paper strip tightly with a needle tool, then let it gently expand before gluing the end. This foundational shape is the basis for many others and is often referred to as a relaxed, filler, or loose coil.
Teardrop
Begin with a loose coil, then glue it. Hold it with your thumb and finger on one hand, and pinch one side with the other to create a pointed teardrop, also known as a peacock eye.
Marquise
Form a loose coil and glue it. Pinch each side simultaneously to create double points, resulting in a shape also called a diamond.
Half Circle
Create a teardrop as above, then pinch a second point near the first. The distance between the points will determine the shape's height.
Scrolls
Loose Scroll
Craft a loose coil, leaving a portion unrolled per your design needs. Also known as tailed scrolls.
V-Scroll
Fold the strip in half lengthwise, then roll a coil from each end, either towards the inside for a heart scroll or the outside for a V scroll.
T-Scroll
Create a V scroll, then glue the unrolled legs together to form a T shape.
Fringed Loose Scroll
Roll a loose or tailed scroll, then carefully use tweezers and scissors to fringe the unrolled end, creating a fringed tail effect.
Advanced Tips
Cutting Quill Strips Lengthwise
Carefully cutting strips lengthwise can reduce the bulk in your coils, enhancing the precision and appearance of your entire piece.
By mastering these shapes and techniques, you can elevate your quilling projects to new levels of creativity and intricacy.
