Back to the Basics III – Quilled White Clover with Tutorial

August 10, 2012

Hello Everybody!

I am back after a short summer holiday with the 3rd canvas from ‘Back to the basics’ series: quilled white clover.

 I’m really enjoying creating these easy canvases and this time I made a tutorial which might be helpful for beginner quillers.

1. Leaves

Note: For both flowers and leaves, I’ve used 120g/sm paper. All the strips are hand cut from A4 sheets of paper, so the length of 1 strip is aprox. 30cm and  the width 2mm (unless stated otherwise). The size of the canvas is 12/12cm.

Start by making loose coils from 1/2 green paper strip (15cm long) with 10mm diameter. Shape them into teardrops, then glue them 2 by 2. Attach the heart shaped petals to a stem and your clover leaf is done!

 2. Flowers

For the clover flower you will need 1 white paper strip (30cm long) and 1/4 light brown strip (7.5cm long), both 6mm wide. Finely fringe the strips, then glue them together at one end. Roll the fringe into a tight coil using your quilling tool, starting from this end. Open up the flower and you’re done.

 I like to create a 3D effect on all my quilled projects. I managed to achieve this here by arranging the flowers in different angles and then gluing the leaves one on top the others or over the fringed flowers.

 You can vary the size of the flowers and leaves, adding even more depth to your quilled piece. Wishing you many creative ideas!

 

Happy Quilling!

Manuela

      I am using small scissors for fringing and a lot of patience 🙂 . Practice is the key!

      Thank you, Nidhi!
      If by ‘base’ you mean the canvas, my first 2 were made using Claire’s tutorial from here: http://blog.naver.com/paper6262/60130274241. You basically dress two pieces of foam board in paper.
      This last one I made is just a simple paper frame, turned upside down. Hope it helps!

    Very nice tutorial.
    Wild clovers, were one of the first flowers, that I taught my children, that they could taste the nectar from.
    Thank you.

      Thank you, Kavi! I haven’t covered mine yet. But you could place it in a shadowbox frame, it will look very good. Here is an example: http://blog.naver.com/paper6262/60130274241. Hope it helps!
