Heart from Quilling

Sometimes we spend so much time choosing a gift for our other half that we forget - the most valuable one present - This is a handmade gift.

In order to make a heart out of paper, we need red paper, one sheet is enough, a stationery knife, PVA glue, a marker, matches and a ruler.

In order to form the parts, you need to cut strips of paper with a stationery knife, approximately 0.5 cm wide and 30 cm long.

After you cut the strips (20-25 pieces), you need to take a piece of paper and draw a heart on it, which you will then begin to fill in.

Then you need to start the most important thing - making parts. To do this, you need to take a match and tightly wrap one strip of paper around it until the end.

And when you finish winding, carefully remove the skein from the match. You should end up with an element like this.

After you remove the skein from the match, place it on the table and it will slowly unfold and take on the following shape.

The end of the paper must be sealed with PVA glue. This glue becomes transparent when it dries, so it is very suitable for quilling.

You need to make about 20-25 such elements (how many strips of paper there are), and then start filling out the drawn heart.

Completely fill the heart with the elements and glue them together with the same glue. After you have glued all the elements, leave the heart to dry, and then you can give it as a gift. I would like to note that you can use paper of any color and make different shapes of different sizes.

Quilling is a fun and interesting activity that does not require a lot of effort. The elements come out quite easily, and connecting them is the easiest job.

We created a Heart from Quilling and this is what we got.
