tree in love

I have been interested in quilling for a long time. She made paintings, panels, and three-dimensional compositions. I have always used closed type elements. But on the eve of Valentine's Day, I decided to experiment and made a painting using an unusual technique. I rolled the paper strips into hearts and glued them to the tree. A work called “Tree in Love” was published.
To make such a picture you will need the following components:
- a set of stripes for quilling (green, black, pink, red - the desired colors);
- white thick cardboard (1 sheet);
- small toothpick;
- scissors;
- a little PVA glue.

First, I’ll tell you about making the basic quilling elements called “hearts.”
I cut the long strip into 4.5 cm long pieces.


Now take a short strip and fold it in half.

Using a toothpick, twist the spiral inside the fold line.

Exactly the same on the other side!
The result is an open “heart” element.

So we gradually form each strip.

We need both pink and red blanks.

The more little hearts you form, the brighter your tree will be.

Then I started making the wood. I drew a trunk with branches on a sheet of white cardboard.

I applied PVA glue to the graphic design and glued the black stripes on the end side.

Then I filled the internal space of the image.

Then I moved on to collecting small elements and forming the crown of the tree. I glued multi-colored hearts in a chaotic order near the branches.

A fierce crown came out.

I also decided to make weed. I folded the green stripes like an accordion.

And glued it near the roots of the tree.

This is the job. I left it overnight for the glue to dry.

And this is a finished three-dimensional panel called “Tree in Love.”


All that remains is to write warm wishes on the back side and you can give it to your husband on St. Valentine’s Day. Valentina.
