Quilling is an art form where strip of paper are folded in a creative way and beautiful designs are made out of it. I saw my art teacher, Deepshri Halve, doing quilling. It looked very interesting to me and hence as a part of my CAS activity, I decided to learn quilling.
You can buy a quilling kit in any stationary store. The kit consists of:
1. Quilling Strips
2. Needle Tool
3. Slotted Tool
4. Glue
First, I had to place the quilling paper in the needle tool. It is a pencil shaped tool which has a gap in its tip where the quilling paper is to be placed. It helps rolling up the strip. After rolling up the strip, the open ended tip is glued. Then, the rolled up strip is pressed differently to give the curled up strip different shapes. I learnt to give the eye shape, heart shape, square shape and the petal shape.
We made various shapes. We then used those shapes to decorate greeting cards. The most challenging part was to decorate the greeting cards because the shapes have to be placed in a proper way to make the greeting cards look alluring. I acquired a new skill that is quilling and I had fun doing it.
Till next time :)
