Quilling

[smallhobbit]

Yesterday's Dare to Dabble was a Quilling afternoon.  I've done it once before, a couple of years ago, when I used a very basic shape to make Christmas cards, today had a spring theme.

We began with quilling paper and tool, size chart and some glue:



And practised making various basic shapes - round, tear drop, eye and leaf (although my leaf looked more bird-like)



I then made a number of heart shapes, but sticky two tear drops together,



Plus a larger round shape, pushing it out slightly:



To form a daffodil:



Then, using a special shaping tool:



I made a leaf, to complete my daffodil Easter card:



Lastly, I made a silly card, which I will give to my mother for her birthday:

Quilling does produce some pretty results from basic shapes, which is great. It was a fun afternoon.
