If you happen to’ve contemplated making quilled Christmas playing cards to ship to household and pals, however determined towards it as a result of you might have a sneaking suspicion that after the vacations your efforts could be discarded, I supply an answer.
Quill solely on a small piece of card inventory reduce into no matter form you want, punch a gap on the prime, tie on a dangling ribbon, and cling a small sticky dot on the again to connect it to the cardboard in order that the recipient can take away it to hold on the tree 12 months after 12 months.
To get slightly bit fancy, you would possibly want to chop two similar shapes to make the tag, one a bit smaller than the opposite, as I did with white and inexperienced cardstock. One other additional is to place a leap ring by means of the punched gap after which tie the ribbon or decoration wire by means of the ring.
Backing up a bit to let you know how I ready the cardboard base and layered papers… it’s white cardstock onto which I used a glue stick (I love this cheap one by Scotch 3M) to connect a rectangle reduce from a catalog’s sturdy again cowl. The floral rectangle was the paper liner salvaged from a Christmas card envelope.
Longtime quillers will not want a step-by-step tutorial to make the quilled
Santa. That is a wonderful thing about quilling… as soon as you know the way to do
it, you’ll be able to have a look at nearly any quilling instance and be capable of
replicate it.
Santa is made up of ten quilled coils pinched into varied shapes with a tiny, white fringed flower for the pom pom on his cap. The stick of his little wand represents the magic of Christmas and is a chunk of metallic decoration wire. I used to be completely happy to discover a use for the tiny reflective hexagon that’s the wand’s tip…. I do not bear in mind the place it got here from, however there it was in my provide stash. So glad I might saved it! Another could be to make use of a 1/8″ gap punch and foil, like the sort on a yogurt container.
