5 History Of Quilling By Eileen Walters History: Quilling is also known as paper rolling, filigree, mosaic and paper scrolling. 16th and 17th century French and Italian nuns, ladies in the Stuart, Georgian and Regency periods and North American settlers all practised the art of quilling and some sources say it was even practised in Ancient Egypt. Nuns on the continent decorated reliquaries and pictures with quilled shapes adding gilding and other ornamentation. The ecclesiastical connection was maintained when the art spread to England with the development of paper, though vellum and parchment were also used. Poorer churches gilded or silvered paper and it was difficult to distinguish it from real gold or silver filigree work. This craft was always practised by ladies of leisure never by the working class. Work panels, coats of arms and later tea caddies, work boxes, screens, cabinets and frames were all decorated with quilling. After falling out of fashion for a while an attempt to re-introduce the craft was made by Wm. Bemrose and in 1875, a kit called Mosaicon was produced together with a handbook and later a reference in an Edwardian book of household management entitled Floral Mosaicon was also found. Many museums around the country and abroad have examples of antique work either on display or stored behind the scenes. With the introduction of modern papers and techniques, quilling is currently enjoying a well deserved revival. Most of the basic shapes used in the art of quilling are made from either tight or closed loose coils. Below is an introduction for beginners to the techniques of the basic shapes. Techniques: Tight Coils: Peg: Roll a strip of paper on the quilling tool and glue the end before taking it off. Bell or Cup: Roll a strip of paper onto the quilling tool and glue the end before taking it off. Then push up into a bell shape and glue the inside to help it keep it s shape. Closed Loose Coils Closed Loose Coil: Roll the paper on the quilling tool then drop it onto the work board and allow it to uncurl for a while. Put a small amount of glue onto the end and hold gently for a few seconds until dry. It s a good idea to make several like this before glueing. Teardrop: Start with a closed coil as above. After glueing, pinch one end to form a point and make the teardrop shape. 10

6 Eye: Start with a closed coil. After glueing hold between finger and thumb of each hand and pinch gently to form the eye shape. Diamond: Start with a closed coil and pinch to form an eye shape (as above) but when pinching the ends, push the shape together so as to form a diamond. Square: Start with a closed coil. Lightly pinch just the outer ring or two of the coil at opposite ends, then lightly pinch the other two sides to form a square. Triangle: Start with a closed coil. Then make in the same way as the square (above) but pinch only three sides each a third of the way round the coil. Leaf: Start with a closed coil, pinch the ends to make an eye shape and when holding between finger and thumb gently twist to form an S shape or leaf. Petal: Start with a closed coil. Pinch the top to form a teardrop and as you pinch, twist slightly to make a curved petal. Oval: Start with a closed coil and squeeze the sides gently without pinching to flatten slightly into an oval. Half Moon: Start with a closed coil and push one side in around a pencil or quilling tool handle. Lightly pinch each end of the resulting curve. Heart: Start with a closed coil. Pinch at one end to form a point. Push the opposite end around a pencil to make the top of the heart. Holly: Start with a closed coil. Pinch the coil around the centre with a pair of tweezers, then pinch and push each end towards the tweezers to make the six points. Eccentric Coil: Start with a closed coil, pull the centre to one side and glue in place. This can be done using tweezers or placed on a board and held with pins. The two cards shown in this article are made from just two or three of these basic, simple shapes with double strips of paper for the stems. Tight coils are perfect for all sorts of flower centres while the eye shapes and teardrops (used in these designs) are as good for many types of petal as the more curved petal shape is. Much of the information in this article is taken from the Quilling Guild Members handbook. 11

9 Quill News August 2009 Page 3 Design Team Let s Party Cake : The inspiration for this project came from the birthday rub-on sayings. I used my favorite cake template to cut out twelve cake pieces, then cut out the little clown with my die cutter. I iced this cake with whipped cream icing, adding pink accents with chocolate and pink roses for decorations. The chocolate base with the clown standing on it tops off the cake just right. Even though the chocolate on top is pretend, you can add real chocolate treats inside as party favors. Birthday Heart Plaque : Because I was thinking birthday this month, I made my sister a birthday present! My goal here was to show off all of the colors in the Jane Jenkins summer strips assortment. There were so many colors I had to keep making flowers!! Look at all of the wonderful colors and possibilities in just one pack of strips. Smile Frame : This little mini frame can be used so many ways. As a real little photo keeper just right for those wallet-sized school pictures, in a scrapbook to frame something special, hooked together vertically for a small space on your wall, or even added to the front of a card. I was looking for an inspirational saying that would fit in my little frame. Smile was the saying I came up with (maybe that was my theme for the month, now that I think about it!). Adding the pink paisley to the inside of the frame and then covering the outside with the harlequin print made for a nice background. Next I printed SMILE on the off-white paper, cut it out, then added pink and brown behind as a frame, and some pop dots behind it all. I used the pinks in the quilling strips to make the flower and buds. * See Sue s review on page 5 for more smile suggestions. All material and images are copyrighted to original creators

10 Quill News August 2009 Page 4 Design Team con t from pg3 Pink Paisley Card : The fun pink and brown paisley designer paper in the August kit was a perfect fit for recreating the design in quilling, pairing it with my paisley Nestabilities as a base. I changed up the simple flower design and created a flower within each petal for more interest. The sentiment is also from the kit and is a rub-on. This is the first time that I have used a rub-on in a card project and I really like the way it came out! Of course I had to have some bling, so I added pink crystals, a bow, and some glitter dots to finish the matching design. Flowery Hi Card : This card was inspired by the colors of quilling strips in the August kit. The colors are so bright and summery I decided to use them to make flowers. The layered design of quilled flowers and chipboard letters has been on my to do list for a bit and now was the perfect time. I used the card base and parchment cardstock from the kit, pairing it with some designer paper and cardstock from my stash. I love making the eccentric circle flowers and the card went together fast. Inside I used another of the rub-on sentiments from the kit. Beach Party Birthday Album : This project was for my granddaughter s 1st birthday and the kit s theme was perfectly timed! The rub-ons in the kit have a nice assortment of birthday related sentiments, plus others for many fun and happy occasions. I made the album and decorated it with quilled starfish, a palm tree, and a sand dollar which goes with the beach theme of her party. The little frame is in the kit and I covered it with matching designer paper from my stash. It is highlighted with a gold pen and a quilled birthday cake and a 1 for her first birthday! I put a placeholder picture in the frame and will replace it with one from her party later. Fun, easy, and useful project. All material and images are copyrighted to original creators

12 Christmas Crib By Mavis Wright I have used double colour paper for some of the pieces in this design, single colour will work without making too much difference to the finished result. Materials Required: Natural Brown Corrugated Card 11cm x 16cm. 11 Cocktail Sticks. Brown Cigarette Papers. Shaded Brown Raffia. Gold Star Peel Off Sticker. 3mm Quilling Paper: Single Colour in White, Pale Pink and Blue. Metallic Edged in Cream/Silver and Blue/Gold. Double Colour in Yellow/Light Yellow, Dark Green/Light Green and Dark Brown/Light Brown. Scrap of 3mm Thick Brown Card (a piece of an old corrugated cardboard box is about right). P.V.A. Craft Adhesive. Card Mount: DE02U-10, Parchment Cream. To Make The Card: Turn the natural corrugated face down and mark the centre along the bottom edge. Measure out from the centre mark each side to 67mm. From these outer marks measure up 65mm tapering in slightly by just 4mm and make another mark each side. Draw a line between the marks to make the two uprights. The top is a gentle arc, a plate approx 16cm diameter is perfect for drawing around or use a pair of compasses. The shape is also shown actual size on the assembly diagram on the following page, you can simply trace it from there if you prefer. Glue the cut out frame behind the aperture with the top of the curve 1cm from the aperture edge and centrally from side to side. Fold the card so the correct flap shows behind the frame and add a gold star close to the top of the background and just off centre. I have used some of the waste pieces on a sticker sheet I had for the rays around the star. Glue the card closed. Cover each cocktail stick with a brown cigarette paper and trim off the pointed ends of the sticks showing at the ends of the paper. Trace the shape from the diagram (below) and stick it firmly onto the thick card. Cut the shape out using a knife and ruler to keep the lines straight. Turn the thick card so it is paper side down and glue nine of the covered sticks onto it, place the bottom stick so it just overlaps the Actual Size 34

13 lower edge a little and hides the cardboard. The top will be covered so it doesn t matter if it is a perfect fit or not. Trim the sticks at the sides as necessary to the shape of the cardboard and glue a stick each side to make the uprights. Trim the two uprights to leave a little extra top and bottom as shown and glue it onto the lower centre of the scene. Baby Jesus: Make the baby s head using a 1 6 length of pink. Make a loose coil and squeeze slightly at opposite sides without pinching. Fold a short length of cream/silver in half and glue. Curve it round to make the half halo and trim to length. Glue the head a little above the top of the crib with the halo around it. Mary: Begin the dress with a husking using blue paper, you will need more than one strip so glue two lengths together before starting. The husking can be wound by hand using the diagram on the right as a guide (start from the centre and use alternate side winding), or by winding around pins on a board. See the History of Quilling article in issue 34 for more details. Using a 1 2 length of blue/gold for each, wind 5 coils loosely by hand. Squeeze gently to make elongated shapes. These pieces fit into the wound husking, one in each section. A little glue on the inside of the husking before inserting the shapes will hold them in place. Pinch the top ends to a point and add a little more glue on the back to help keep all the pieces together. Actual Size 35

14 Make one loose coil from a full length of white. Place it next to the blue dress and pinch the top to a sharp point, glue it along the length where it touches the blue paper. Glue into place on the background. Use a 1 2 length of white to make a loose coil and pinch into shape for the headdress. Use 1 4 length of pink to make a loose coil and press into a half moon shape for the face. Glue both onto the background. Make a loose coil from 1 6 length of white for the arm. Pinch at opposite sides and flatten slightly. Make a loose coil from 1 6 length of pale pink for the hand and pinch at one end to make an elongated teardrop. The next bit needs careful handling. Cut the outer two rings above the bulge as shown in the enlarged diagram, fold the left end away and glue the other ends onto the coil. Glue the arm and hand onto the side of Mary s dress, Joseph: Make 6 loose coils for the robe as follows. Use approximately 1 2 lengths of double colour paper for each shape, varying the length to suit. Winding the coils loosely by hand, make 2 in yellow, 2 in green and 2 in brown. Squeeze gently to make elongated shapes as shown in the diagram. Glue the shapes together in the order shown and pinch at the top to a point, glue on the back to help keep them together. Wind one turn around the outside using brown paper and glue the end. Add a small piece of brown to the top of the robe for a collar bending to the shape shown. Glue onto the background. For the headdress, take a 1 2 length of green, brown and yellow and roll together into a loose coil, this can be rolled on a tool or loosely by hand if you prefer. Pinch at one end to form the shape. Use 1 4 length of pink to make a loose coil and pinch into a half moon shape for the face. Glue both onto the background. Make a loose coil from a 1 6 length of dark brown/light brown and pinch at one end to form a teardrop for the beard. Glue onto the background. Use 1 6 length of dark green/light green double colour paper make a loose coil and pinch to form an elongated teardrop for the arm. Wind 3 or 4 turns of pink onto the tool, allow to loosen a little then glue the end. Pinch slightly to shape at one side for the hand. Glue the arm and hand into place. Snip the shaded brown raffia into short lengths and glue onto the top of the crib and along the bottom of the aperture to finish. Please note: A half length of paper is approximately 22mm (8 3 4 ). 36

15 Paper Angel By Veronica Anglesea Materials Required: 3mm Gold edged White quilling paper. 3mm Gold quilling paper. 18 Prong metal onion holder. P.V.A. Craft Adhesive. Card mount: AP08G Dark Blue/Gold. To Make The Card: Use gold paper for the halo and gold edged white for everything else. The diagram below shows the onion holder and the prong numbers. To begin each piece, wind the paper round the bottom prong and bring it up the side of the holder nearest to you (the side nearest to you is the wrong side except when working the cape). Wind forward over the prong number given in the chart below for the piece you are 1 making, go down the front of the holder, round the bottom prong and back up to the prong below the one you last used. As you work, overlap each loop at the bottom and glue the strip to the previous fold on the wrong side at the overlap, this will hold the loops in position when you remove them from the onion holder. Work down the onion holder using each prong until you have the specified number of 18 Skirt 750mm Prong 15 8 Loops Wing 600mm Prong Loops Sleeve 300mm Prong 7 6 Loops Cape 350mm Prong 10 6 Loops loops for the piece you are making. You will need to join the quilling paper to make some of the components as it is not long enough, always join on the wrong side so that the join does not show. The chart gives the length of paper you will need for each piece, the prong number to begin folding on and how many loops to fold, use this to make the looped pieces following the method outlined. Using a 75mm length of paper make a loose coil, pinch one end to make the hand. Make the head from 150 mm of paper, glue the coils towards one side so they form an eccentric circle. Make the halo from 150 mm of gold paper rolled tightly around your little finger or a pencil, glue the end and squash slightly to shape. Position all the pieces onto the card, place the wings pointing towards the top left and and the skirt pointing towards the lower left corner of the aperture and glue into place. 17

16 How to make a... Quilling Valentine Card 3 You will need: 2 x sheets of A4 coloured card (eg. cat nos Deep Violet) 1 x sheet of A4 coloured paper (eg. cat no Rose) Glue (eg. cat no ) Thin coloured ribbon or thread approximately 15cm in length (eg. cat no ) Single hole punch (although an ordinary hole punch can be used) How to make your Valentine Card: 1. Take one of the sheets of card and fold it in half widthways. This is the base of the card. Place it aside for later. 2. Now take one of the sheets of paper and carefully cut 2 strips from it lengthways, about 3-5mm wide. 3. Begin winding one of the strips around the handle of a thin paintbrush or knitting needle. When you reach the end, let the coil loosen slightly. Put a dab of glue on the end of the paper strip and stick it down onto the coil to fasten. 4. Take the second strip and snip off about 1/3 of its length. Put the shorter offcut piece aside. Taking the longer strip of paper, repeat step Now repeat step 4 using the piece that you cut away from the second strip. You should be left with 3 paper coils, large medium and small. Allow the glue to dry. 6. Now make your quilled hearts: Pick up the large coil and, using your thumb and forefinger, pinch one side of it into a point as shown in the diagram (A). Rectangle of white paper approximately 8 x 12cm or a metallic pen (eg. cat no ) A B Press in here Thin paintbrush or knitting needle Pinch here 7. Next, gently push the other side of the coil into an M shape as shown in the diagram (B). Repeat this process with the other 2 coils. 8. Take the sheet of coloured paper and cut out a rectangle about 10 x 6cm. Punch 2 holes in the top of the card as shown in the diagram (C) 9. Take the remaining sheet of card and cut out a rectangle about 5 x 9cm. Punch 2 holes in the top of the card as shown in the diagram (C). C 10. Apply glue to the underside of your quilled hearts and stick them onto the rectangle of coloured card that you have just cut out. Arrange the hearts so that they are in a stack with the largest heart at the bottom and the smallest at the top. Allow the glue to dry. Continues... Copyright Hampshire County Council 2008

17 How to make a... QUilling Valentine Card 3 Page Place the card with your quilled hearts design on top of the rectangle of paper. Thread ribbon through both sets of holes and tie in a bow at the front. 12. Apply glue to the underside of the paper and attach it to the base of your card. Allow to dry. 13. To make the inside greeting of your card either: a) Stick a rectangle of white paper inside the card and write your message on the paper or... b) Write your message in silver metallic pen. 14. Put your card into a suitable envelope and it s ready to send to your secret admire-ee! For further advice on completing this project please contact Helen White in the Marketing and Information Team on helen.white@hants.gov.uk Variations: Different effects can be obtained by using a variety of paper colours and varying the tightness of the coils. Try also adding coils that have been bent into a different shape such as a leaf shape, square, oval or teardrop. Once you ve got the hang of quilling, why not try making other scenes. Anything is possible. Be as simple or as complicated as you like. Quilling is ideal for making pictures, cards, gift tags and much more at any time of year. Copyright Hampshire County Council 2008

18 Spring Quilling By Eileen Walters In this article I have included instructions for marbling your own paper, using a method which is both very simple and effective but, if you don t want to give it a try you could use any paper with a light random pattern. Materials Required: Quilling paper: 3mm: Pale Yellow, Dark Yellow, Green and Purple. 1.5mm: Pale Yellow, Green, Light Green and White. Quilling tool, tracing paper and masking tape. Cork tile or fibre-board and long pins. Marbled background paper. Peel off sticker: PE058. P.V.A. Craft Adhesive. Card mount: AP48U, Deep Green. To Make The Card: Glue the marbled paper behind the aperture and glue the card closed. The petals are made using the husking method. I have used a husking mat but winding round a series of pins is the original method and works equally well. The diagram below shows how to work the husking method. As each type of flower will need a different pin layout, the instructions for winding and finishing off the different types of petals are shown with the pin layouts in the flower instructions. Place a sheet of tracing paper over the dots relevant to the flower you are going to work, mark the position of each dot on the paper. Place the tracing onto the cork tile and tape in position. Push the pins in through the dots and wind the paper round Start them following this method. When you have finished winding check the finishing instructions 6 for the petal you are making before pulling the pins out to remove the petal. Note: All the winding is shown larger than actual size for clarity. Daffodils: Make 3 of these. Using pale yellow 1.5mm paper make six petals for each flower. Use the pin layout shown in the inset box and the winding diagram. Finish by winding the paper round the outside once and glueing the end as shown. Remove from the pins and lightly pinch the tip. Roll a 1 3 length of 3mm pale yellow into a peg, glue the end so that it does not unroll and remove from the tool. Gently push the centre to form a cone and glue inside to keep the shape. Once dry pin the cone onto a quilling work board and using a small amount of P.V.A. glue the petals evenly around the flower centre. Glue

19 Violets: Make 3 of these. Using 1 4 length of 3mm purple make four loose coils. Wind the paper onto the tool, remove it and let it unwind slightly then glue the end. Pinch one end on two of the coils to make teardrop shapes, pinch both ends to make eye shapes on the other two coils. Using dark yellow 3mm paper and the pin layout inset below, wind the petals as shown below taking the paper twice around the outside before glueing the end as shown. Remove the pins and lightly pinch at the point to hold shape. Make a 1 8 length peg for the flower centre. Pin one teardrop shape point upwards onto the board, place the second one beside it and glue them together at the base. Glue the yellow petal below in the centre and an eye shape to either side of this pointing outwards at the bottom, then glue the peg onto the centre of the flower. Snowdrops: Make 5 of these. Using 1.5mm white and the pin layout below, wind the petals finishing and glueing where shown. Remove from the pins and pinch firmly at the point shown. Glue Make 5 of these. Using a 1 8 length of 1.5mm light green, make a peg lay it on it s side and press to flatten. Glue the flattened peg to the folded end of the snowdrop. Glue Lightly Pinch Pinch Tall Leaves: Make 4 of these, the lengths should vary slightly, mine are between 4 and 5cm long. Using green 3mm paper make a loop approximately 1cm in length at one end, glue at the bottom. Glue Continue wrapping the paper to form loops, each a little larger than the previous one, until you have the desired length, secure at the bottom with glue. Pinch at base and holding between thumb and first finger flatten the sides and curve gently to give it shape. Base Leaves: Glue Make 7 of these. Using 1 4 length of 3mm green paper make a loose coil as described previously. Pinch both ends of the coil and twist slightly to shape. Double Leaves: Make 2 of these. Using 1 4 length of 3mm green paper make a loose coil, pinch one end to form a teardrop then flatten one side. Make another the same, glue the flat sides together leaving a small piece unglued at the end Flatten to insert the stem into. Stems And Thin Leaves: Flatten Sides Flatten Sides The stems and leaves are made from varying lengths of paper folded in half and glued to give added stiffness. These are best cut as they are needed in the design. The top of each leaf and stem on the snowdrops should be trimmed at an angle as shown. Use 1.5mm green for daffodil and violet stems and 3mm green for violet leaf stems. Use 1.5mm light green for the snowdrops. 7

20 Glue the pieces onto the card in two stages beginning with those shown below. All these pieces are glued flat onto the card, use the picture as a guide for placement. Begin with the snowdrop leaves and go on to the tall leaves inside the aperture, add the stems trimming to length as you go. Next add the leaves and finally the flowers. Approx 10cm All the remaining pieces are glued partially or fully on top of those previously placed. Begin with the remaining daffodil, go on to the violets and their stems and the two base leaves. Finish with the two remaining snowdrops. Add the peel off sticker onto the background to complete the design. Marbling You will need marbling ink, a pipette or drinking straw, a shallow tray (a photographic tray or something similar works well), this needs to be slightly larger than the paper to be marbled - A4 is a good standard size. Fill the tray two thirds full with warm tap water. Drop small drops of marbling ink over the surface, this is best done with a pipette or an ordinary drinking straw, use just one or two colours. Allow the ink to form a pattern, you can help this along by gently blowing through a straw onto the surface of the water. Hold the paper at one end and gently place it onto the surface of the water. The paper needs to lay on the surface, it should not be immersed. Immediately, and taking care not to push the paper under, remove it from the water. The design will have transferred onto the paper, place it on a flat surface to dry. The amount of ink on the surface of the water will determine the depth of colour, only one or a maximum of two sheets can be done before more ink needs to be added. After three or four uses it is best to empty the container and replace with fresh water. The inks I used were pearlised so after drying the paper needed to be sprayed with a fixative to preserve the marbling. When they are completely dry again store the marbled papers under a heavy book until required. 8

21 Primrose Card Extra Materials Required: Quilling paper, 3mm: Lilac, Very Pale Lilac, Yellow, Lime Green and Very Pale Green. 5mm: White. Green Parch Marque paper 10cm x 14cm. Pen and pearlised Lilac ink. Crimper. Card mount: AP50P, Spring. To Make The Card: I have penned a quotation onto the background paper using pearlised ink. If your handwriting is not very neat there are lots of alternative ways of adding messages to the card. It could very easily be done on the computer, choose a text colour to tone with the card and print out onto the background paper. Place the paper behind the aperture and glue the card closed. Lilac Flowers: Make 2 of these. Using lilac paper make seven petals following the instructions given for the daffodil petals. Fringe a 1 4 length of white 5mm quilling paper and join to a 1 8 length of yellow paper. Wind onto the quilling tool starting with the yellow and glue the end before removing from the tool. Pin onto the work board and glue the seven petals evenly round the fringed centre before gently bending out the fringes. Yellow Flowers: Make 2 of these. Using yellow paper make five petals in the same way as for the lilac, these petals are shorter and rounder than the daffodil petals so use the diagram right for pin positions. Finely fringe a 1 8 length of yellow and lime green, wind them together on the tool and glue the end before removing. Pin onto the board and glue the five petals evenly round it. Make one extra fringed flower. Bell Flowers: Make 3 of these. Using 1 4 length of yellow paper roll into a tight peg and glue the end. Push into a cone shape approx. 1cm long and coat the inside with glue, allow to dry. Leaves: Make 8 large and 4 small leaves. Use lime green, 1 2 lengths for large leaves and 1 4 lengths for small. Make a loose coil, glue the end. Pinch at each end twisting gently to shape. For the border and curved leaves glue a length of very pale green paper onto the back of a length of very pale lilac and leave aside until the glue has dried. I ran them through a crimper before cutting to length, if you don t have a crimper, use them straight. Run a very thin line of glue around the inside edge of the aperture and glue the border onto it edge on, holding with tweezers if necessary. Arrange the flowers and leaves, glue all the pieces onto the card using the picture as a guide. 9

Red Border Cards: 1. Cut a 35cm length of gold quilling paper and wind on the tool. Drop the coil from the tool and leave to unwind a little then glue the end Squeeze a little glue onto a spare piece of card in preparation. Pull the coils to one side and hold. Apply glue with a cocktail stick to keep them in place where shown and hold for a moment until the glue dries. 3. Pinch the opposite end of the coil to form a teardrop shape. Apply some narrow border pieces across the front of the quilled shape at an angle, these ones were some waste pieces from a sheet of borders. 26 This size quilled shape will make a complete tree for a gift tag or to fit into the AP64 round top aperture card which is shown here in deep red. Cut a small pot from gold card or paper, the exact shape and size are not important, the pots on these cards were approx. 1cm square before shaping. Cut a 1cm length of black quilling paper and glue onto the back of the pot with about half sticking out at the top. Select a 1cm gold sequin star and place all the pieces onto the card mount. When you are happy with the position glue the pieces into place. To make the gift tag I used a cut down SF05U card. Fold the card and trim while folded to 50mm x 75mm, this gives a neater fit for the tiny tree. I added a pretty deckled border round the edge of the card using XL424U-14, which is red with a gold edge.

23 To make the red Christmas card, work the tree onto a piece of plain white card. Mount the tree on it s white background into the aperture and add a piece of the same deckled border with the straight edge along the lower edge of the aperture. Run a medium thickness straight gold border (XL500U) along the very edge of the aperture all round, covering the lower edge of the deckled border piece. Add a greeting to finish, my Merry Christmas is from the ZL524U sheet which has very pretty snow topped letters. White Border Cards: These are made in very much the same way as the red cards but with smaller coils to make three section trees. Cut three 20cm lengths of dark green quilling paper and make three teardrops as described previously. The small dots applied to the front are waste dots from another sticker sheet, the Christmas tree sheet XL184U-01 is a good one for spare dots. Pick up each dot on the point of a craft knife and apply to the surface of the quilling. Make a pot and stem for the tree and stick onto the card as before. Add borders as desired, mine are zigzag (XL423U-16) and deckled XL424U-16 both in white with a gold edge. Gold Border Card: Although still quite small, this tree is a little larger (approx. 3.5cm x 5cm). It s made from 3 complete lengths of dark green quilling paper. Using one full length of green paper make a closed offset coil as described earlier. Wind (by hand) a second full length round the outside of this gluing at the base on each turn. Work another length round this in the same way then pinch the top third of this large offset coil to a point. Cut a 35cm length of gold paper for the pot and make a loose closed coil. Pinch at both ends to make the shape shown and use this for the pot. I mounted this tree into an AP56 card with gold paper behind and used holographic gold borders (ZL423U-71) and wording (ZL525U-71). 27
