Quilling Patterns designed by Jennifer

Flower Basket

Ready for spring

Materials: 1/8" and 1/4" purple, green, yellow paper

Instructions:

Fringed flowers- use 1/4" paper and fringe either with a scissors or a fringer (this makes small cuts along one edge of the paper so that when it is rolled the paper will flare out). Make four flowers.
Flowers- make six marquee shapes from 6" of 1/8" purple paper. Make one tight circle from 4" yellow paper. Arrange the purple marquee shapes around the yellow center.
Leaves and stems- take 3" of green paper and roll one tip into a small circle. Make several open coils from 2" green paper and glue to to either side of the stem. (I made circles but you can pinch one end and make teardrop shapes to make more of a pointed leaf shape). Make four stems with leaves.
There are little bits of curly green paper under the flowers. Take 1" of green, cut one end into point and lightly curl.
Basket-use 1/8" yellow paper, cut six pieces 8" long each and lay them horizontally on your workspace. Cut six 8" pieces and weave them through the horizontal pieces. Start in the middle and go over, under, over until you reach the end. Then weave one strip next to the middle and alternate the pattern going under, over, under. Repeat with each strip. I took long strips of yellow and placed them over the woven piece at an angle, a smaller piece across the bottom and one across the top to outline the basket shape. Glue the strips to the woven piece, then cut the ends of the woven piece that stick out to make all of the sides even with the over layed piece.
Glue the basket to your paper or card, then arrange the flowers and leaves.

Valentine's Day Card

Happy Valentine's Day!

The little card is made from a 4" wide x 2" tall piece of patterned paper folded in half. Then add the hearts to the card as shown. Another option would be to make one large heart from 18" of paper and center it on the card.
