History Of Quilling
10
By Eileen Walters
History:Quilling is also known as paper rolling, fili-
gree, mosaic and paper scrolling. 16th and 17thcentury French and Italian nuns, ladies in theStuart, Georgian and Regency periods and NorthAmerican settlers all practised the art of quillingand some sources say it was even practised inAncient Egypt. Nuns on the continent decoratedreliquaries and pictures with quilled shapesadding gilding and other ornamentation. Theecclesiastical connection was maintained whenthe art spread to England with the developmentof paper, though vellum and parchment werealso used. Poorer churches gilded or silveredpaper and it was difficult to distinguish it fromreal gold or silver filigree work.
This craft was always practised by ‘ladies ofleisure’ – never by the ‘working class’. Workpanels, coats of arms and later tea caddies, workboxes, screens, cabinets and frames were alldecorated with quilling. After falling out offashion for a while an attempt to re-introduce the craft was made by Wm. Bemrose and in 1875,a kit called ‘Mosaicon’ was produced togetherwith a handbook and later a reference in anEdwardian book of household management entitled ‘Floral Mosaicon’ was also found.
Many museums around the country andabroad have examples of antique work either ondisplay or stored behind the scenes. With theintroduction of modern papers and techniques,quilling is currently enjoying a well deservedrevival. Most of the basic shapes used in the art of quilling are made from either tight orclosed loose coils. Below is an introduction forbeginners to the techniques of the basic shapes.
Techniques:Tight Coils:Peg: Roll a strip of paper on thequilling tool and glue the endbefore taking it off.
Bell or Cup: Roll a strip ofpaper onto the quilling tool andglue the end before taking it off.
Then push up into a bell shape and glue theinside to help it keep it’s shape.
Closed Loose CoilsClosed Loose Coil: Roll the paper on the quillingtool then drop it onto the work board and allowit to uncurl for a while. Put asmall amount of glue onto theend and hold gently for a fewseconds until dry. It’s a goodidea to make several like thisbefore glueing.
Teardrop: Start with a closedcoil as above. After glueing,pinch one end to form a pointand make the teardrop shape.
11
Eye: Start with a closed coil.After glueing hold betweenfinger and thumb of each handand pinch gently to form theeye shape.
Diamond: Start with a closedcoil and pinch to form an eyeshape (as above) but whenpinching the ends, push theshape together so as to form a diamond.
Square: Start with a closed coil. Lightly pinch just the outer ring or two of the coilat opposite ends, then lightlypinch the other two sides toform a square.
Triangle: Start with a closedcoil. Then make in the sameway as the square (above) butpinch only three sides each athird of the way round the coil.
Leaf: Start with a closed coil,pinch the ends to make aneye shape and when holdingbetween finger and thumbgently twist to form an ‘S’shape or leaf.
Petal: Start with a closed coil.Pinch the top to form a teardropand as you pinch, twist slightlyto make a curved petal.
Oval: Start with a closed coiland squeeze the sides gentlywithout pinching to flattenslightly into an oval.
Half Moon: Start with a closedcoil and push one side inaround a pencil or quilling tool handle. Lightly pinch eachend of the resulting curve.
Heart: Start with a closed coil.Pinch at one end to form apoint. Push the opposite endaround 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 endtowards the tweezers to makethe six points.
Eccentric Coil: Start with aclosed coil, pull the centre toone side and glue in place. Thiscan be done using tweezers orplaced on a board and held with pins.
The two cards shown in this article are madefrom just two or three of these basic, simpleshapes with double strips of paper for the stems.
Tight coils are perfect for all sorts of flowercentres while the eye shapes and teardrops (usedin these designs) are as good for many types ofpetal as the more curved ‘petal’ shape is.
Much of the information in this article is taken fromthe Quilling Guild Members handbook.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Reviews Sue
The kit for August is just right for a birthday! An assortment of pink and brown paisley prints, parchment, pink, brown, off white, and harlequin print papers to make your projects. Cute little paper maché frames, buttons, blank cards, birthday party rub-on sayings, and Jane Jenkins summer assortment strips. This kit will keep you busy creating all month.
*Some “Smile” sayings: Everyone smiles in the same language. Author Unknown, Smiling is my favorite exercise. Author Unknown, Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Mark Twain, Smile…it makes people wonder what you’re up to. Author Unknown, Peace begins with a smile. Mother Teresa and A smile is a facelift that’s in everyone’s price range! Ziggy.

This month’s kit is packed with bright colors and papers that lend to making many fun, cheery projects. All of the quilling in my projects was done using the generous amount of strips that came in the kit and I still have more! There are a pack of buttons in the kit that I have in mind for another card and like last month, there are plenty of supplies left! I can even recycle the cardboard that was in the kit to make another album!
Drawing for a $10.00 Gift Certificate! All paid orders will be entered in the drawing. A random order will be picked at the end of August to receive the certificate.
CQ has a list for quillers to meet other quillers in their area; check it out under Quilling Information ... Quilling Friends. Who knows? You may find a new quilling buddy!
The CQ Monthly kits and classes are also available by autoship; please contact us for more information.
CQ has summer hours, please check the store for updated shipping schedule.
It is never too early to start your holiday projects!
Christmas Crib

By Mavis WrightI have used double colour
paper for some of the pieces inthis design, single colour willwork without making too muchdifference 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: SingleColour in White, Pale Pink andBlue. Metallic Edged inCream/Silver and Blue/Gold. Double Colour inYellow/Light Yellow, Dark Green/Light Greenand Dark Brown/Light Brown.
Scrap of 3mm Thick Brown Card (a piece of anold 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. Measureout from the centre mark each side to 67mm.From these outer marks measure up 65mm tapering in slightly by just 4mm and makeanother 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 ofcompasses.
The shape is also shown actual size on theassembly diagram on the following page, youcan simply trace it from there if you prefer.
Glue the cut out frame behind the aperturewith the top of the curve 1cm from the apertureedge and centrally from side to side. Fold thecard so the correct flap shows behind the frameand add a gold star close to the top of the background and just off centre. I have used someof the waste pieces on a sticker sheet I had forthe rays around the star. Glue the card closed.
Cover each cocktail stick with a browncigarette 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 theshape out using a knife and ruler to keep thelines straight.

Mary: Begin the dress with a
husking using blue paper,you will need more thanone strip so glue twolengths together beforestarting. The husking canbe wound by hand usingthe diagram on the rightas a guide (start from thecentre and use alternateside winding), or by winding around pins on aboard. See the ‘History of Quilling’ article inissue 34 for more details.
Using a 1⁄2 length of blue/gold for each, wind5 coils loosely by hand. Squeeze gently to makeelongated shapes. These pieces fit into thewound husking, onein each section.

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 ontothe coil to fasten.
4. Take the second strip and snip off about 1/3 of its length. Put theshorter offcut piece aside. Taking the longer strip of paper, repeat step 3.
5. Now repeat step 4 using the piece that you cut away from the secondstrip. 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 yourthumb and forefinger, pinch one side of it into a point as shown in thediagram (A).
7. Next, gently push the other side of the coil into an ‘M’ shape as shown inthe diagram (B). Repeat this process with the other 2 coils.
8. Take the sheet of coloured paper and cut out a rectangle about 10 x6cm. 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).
You will need:2 x sheets of A4 coloured card
(eg. cat nos. 817779 Deep Violet)
1 x sheet of A4 coloured paper(eg. cat no. 819310 Rose)
Glue (eg. cat no. 701702)
Thin coloured ribbon or threadapproximately 15cm in length
(eg. cat no. 209807)
Single hole punch (although anordinary hole punch can be used)
Rectangle of white paperapproximately 8 x 12cm
or a metallic pen (eg. cat no. 822185)
Thin paintbrush or knitting needle

11. Place the card with your quilled hearts design on top of the rectangle ofpaper. Thread ribbon through both sets of holes and tie in a bow at thefront.
12. Apply glue to the underside of the paper and attach it to the base ofyour 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 messageon 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 yoursecret admire-ee!
For further advice on completing this project please contact Helen White inthe Marketing and Information Team on [email protected]
Variations:Different effects can be obtained by using a variety of paper colours andvarying the tightness of the coils. Try also adding coils that have been bentinto 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 anytime of year.

Spring Quilling

By Eileen WaltersIn this article I have included instructions for
marbling your own paper, using a method whichis both very simple and effective but, if you don’twant to give it a try you could use any paperwith 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 windinground a series of pins is the original method andworks equally well.
The diagram below shows how to work the‘husking’ method. As each type of flower willneed a different pin layout, the instructions forwinding and finishing off the different types ofpetals are shown with the pin layouts in theflower instructions.
Place a sheet of tracing paper over the dotsrelevant to the flower you are going to work,mark the position of each dot on the paper. Placethe tracing onto the cork tile and tape in position.
Push the pins inthrough the dotsand wind thepaper roundthem followingthis method.When you havefinished windingcheck the finish-ing instructions
Start
for the petal you are making before pulling thepins out to remove the petal. Note: All the wind-ing 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 thepin layout shown in the inset box and the wind-ing diagram. Finish by winding the paper roundthe outside once and glue-ing the end as shown.Remove from the pins andlightly pinch the tip.
Roll a 1⁄3 length of 3mmpale yellow into a peg, gluethe end so that it does not unrolland remove from the tool.Gently push the centre to form acone and glue inside to keep theshape. Once dry pin the coneonto a quilling work board andusing a small amount of P.V.A. glue thepetals evenly around the flower centre.

Violets:Make 3 of these. Using 1⁄4 length of 3mm pur-
ple make four loose coils. Wind the paper ontothe tool, remove it and let itunwind slightly then glue the end.Pinch one end on two of the coilsto make teardrop shapes, pinchboth ends to make eye shapes onthe other two coils.
Using dark yellow 3mm paper and the pinlayout inset below, wind the petals as shownbelow taking the paper twice around the outsidebefore glueing the end as shown. Remove thepins and lightly pinch at the point to hold shape.
Make a 1⁄8 length peg for theflower centre. Pin one teardropshape point upwards onto theboard, place the second onebeside it and glue them togetherat the base. Glue the yellowpetal below in the centre and aneye shape to either side of this pointing outwardsat the bottom, then glue the peg onto the centreof the flower.
Snowdrops:Make 5 of these. Using 1.5mm white and the
pin layout below, wind the petals finishing andglueing where shown. Remove from the pins andpinch firmly at the point shown.
Make 5 of these. Using a 1⁄8length of 1.5mm light green,make a peg lay it on it’s sideand press to flatten. Glue theflattened peg to the foldedend of the snowdrop.
Tall Leaves:Make 4 of these, the lengths should vary
slightly, mine are between 4 and 5cm long. Usinggreen 3mm paper make a loop approximately1cm in length at one end, glue at the bottom.
Continue wrapping the paper toform loops, each a little largerthan the previous one, until youhave the desired length, secure atthe bottom with glue. Pinch atbase and holding between thumband first finger flatten the sidesand curve gently to give it shape.
Base Leaves:Make 7 of these. Using 1⁄4
length of 3mm green paper makea loose coil as described previ-ously. Pinch both ends of the coiland 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 ateardrop then flatten one side. Make another thesame, glue the flat sidestogether leaving a smallpiece unglued at the endto insert the stem into.
Stems And Thin Leaves:The stems and leaves
are made from varyinglengths of paper foldedin half and glued to giveadded stiffness. Theseare best cut as they areneeded in the design. The top of each leaf andstem on the snowdrops should be trimmed at anangle as shown.
Use 1.5mm green for daffodil and violet stemsand 3mm green for violet leaf stems. Use 1.5mmlight green for the snowdrops.

MarblingYou will need marbling ink, a pipette or
drinking straw, a shallow tray (a photographictray or something similar works well), this needsto be slightly larger than the paper to be marbled- A4 is a good standard size.
Fill the tray two thirds full with warm tapwater. 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 twocolours. 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 itonto the surface of the water. The paper needs to‘lay’ on the surface, it should not be immersed.
Glue the pieces onto the card in two stagesbeginning with those shown below. All thesepieces are glued flat onto the card, use the pic-ture as a guide for placement. Begin with thesnowdrop leaves and go on to the tall leavesinside the aperture, add the stems trimming tolength as you go. Next add the leaves and finallythe flowers.
Approx10cm
All the remaining pieces are glued partially or fully on top of those previously placed. Beginwith the remaining daffodil, go on to the violetsand their stems and the two base leaves. Finishwith the two remaining snowdrops.
Add the peel off sticker onto the backgroundto complete the design.
Immediately, and taking care not to push thepaper under, remove it from the water. Thedesign will have transferred onto the paper, placeit on a flat surface to dry.
The amount of ink on the surface of the waterwill determine the depth of colour, only one or amaximum of two sheets can be done before moreink needs to be added. After three or four uses itis best to empty the container and replace withfresh water.
The inks I used were pearlised so after dryingthe paper needed to be sprayed with a fixative topreserve the marbling. When they are completelydry again store the marbled papers under aheavy book until required.

Primrose CardExtra 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 back-
ground paper using pearlised ink. If your handwriting is not very neat there are lots ofalternative ways of adding messages to thecard. It could very easily be done on the com-puter, choose a text colour to tone with the card and print out onto the background paper.Place the paper behind the aperture and gluethe card closed.
Lilac Flowers:Make 2 of these. Using lilac paper make
seven petals following the instructions givenfor the daffodil petals. Fringe a 1⁄4 length of white5mm quilling paperand join to a 1⁄8 lengthof yellow paper. Windonto the quilling toolstarting with the yel-low and glue the end beforeremoving from the tool. Pinonto the work board and gluethe seven petals evenly roundthe fringed centre before gentlybending out the fringes.
Yellow Flowers:Make 2 of these. Using yellow paper make
five petals in the same way as for the lilac, thesepetals are shorter and rounder than thedaffodil petals so use the diagram rightfor pin positions. Finely fringe a 1⁄8length of yellow and lime green,wind them together on the tooland glue the end before removing.Pin onto the board and glue thefive petals evenly round it. Makeone extra fringed flower.
Bell Flowers:Make 3 of these. Using 1⁄4 length
of yellow paper roll into a tight pegand glue the end. Push into a coneshape approx. 1cm long and coatthe inside with glue, allow to dry.
Leaves:Make 8 large and 4 small leaves.
Use lime green, 1⁄2 lengths for largeleaves and 1⁄4 lengths for small. Makea loose coil, glue the end. Pinch ateach end twisting gently to shape.
For the border and curved leaves glue alength of very pale green paper onto the back ofa length of very pale lilac and leave aside untilthe glue has dried. I ran them through a crimperbefore cutting to length, if you don’t have acrimper, use them straight. Run a very thin lineof glue around the inside edge of the apertureand glue the border onto it edge on, holding withtweezers if necessary. Arrange the flowers andleaves, glue all the pieces onto the card using thepicture as a guide.
Tiny Trees
26
By Mary GarrattThese very stylish, tiny quilled
Christmas trees are made fromone of the most basic quilledshapes and make perfect gift tagsor Christmas cards.
Materials Required:3mm Quilling Paper: Gold, DarkGreen and Black.
Quilling Tool.
Scraps of Shiny Gold Card.
Approx. 1cm wide Gold SequinStars.
UHU Clear Glue: ADH01.
Peel Off Stickers: Tiny Dots in (01) Gold and (02) Silver. Borders in(01) Gold, (14) Red with Gold, (16) White with Gold or Colours ofYour Choice.
Card Mount: See IndividualInstructions.
Red Border Cards:1. Cut a 35cm length of gold quillingpaper and wind on the tool. Drop thecoil from the tool and leave to unwinda little then glue the end.
2. 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 tokeep them in place where shown and hold fora moment until the glue dries.
3. Pinch the opposite end of the coil to form a teardrop shape. Apply some narrow borderpieces across the front of the quilled shape atan angle, these ones were some waste piecesfrom a sheet of borders.
This size quilled shape will make a completetree for a gift tag or to fit into the AP64 round topaperture card which is shown here in deep red.
Cut a small pot from gold card or paper, theexact shape and size are not important, the potson these cards were approx. 1cm square beforeshaping. Cut a 1cm length of black quilling paperand glue onto the back of the pot with about halfsticking out at the top. Select a 1cm gold sequinstar and place all the pieces onto the card mount.When you are happy with the position glue thepieces into place.
To make the gift tag I used a cut down SF05Ucard. Fold the card and trim while folded to50mm x 75mm, this gives a neater fit for the tinytree. I added a pretty deckled border round theedge of the card using XL424U-14, which is redwith a gold edge.

To make the redChristmas card, workthe tree onto a piece of plain white card.Mount the tree on it’swhite background intothe aperture and add a piece of the samedeckled border with the straight edge alongthe lower edge of the aperture.
Run a medium thickness straight gold border(XL500U) along the very edge of the aperture allround, covering the lower edge of the deckledborder piece. Add a greeting to finish, my MerryChristmas is from the ZL524U sheet which hasvery 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 makethree section trees. Cut three 20cm lengths of dark green quilling paper and make threeteardrops as described previously.
The small dots applied to the front are wastedots from another sticker sheet, the Christmastree sheet XL184U-01 is a good one for sparedots. Pick up each dot on the point of a craftknife and apply to the surface of the quilling.Make a pot and stem for the tree and stick ontothe card as before. Add borders as desired, mineare zigzag (XL423U-16) and deckled XL424U-16both 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 3complete lengths of dark green quilling paper.
Using one full length of green paper make aclosed offset coil as described earlier. Wind (byhand) a second full length round the outside ofthis gluing at the base on each turn. Work anoth-er length round this in the same way then pinchthe top third of this large offset coil to a point.
Cut a 35cm length of gold paper for the potand make a loose closed coil. Pinch at both endsto make the shape shown and use this for thepot. I mounted this tree intoan AP56 card with gold paperbehind and used holographicgold borders (ZL423U-71) andwording (ZL525U-71).
