How to make the "Artichoke Flower"


         
MATERIALS:

- 2 quilling strips:
-         1 light blue 2cm wide and 30 cm long
-         1 dark blue 2cm wide and 30 cm long

     I used shades of blue. However, you can use any two colors of your preference.

- Glue

- Quilling needle

Pen or any other object with a point.

- Mini mold or anything that can be used as a dome shape (optional) 

PROCEDURE:

   Cut two quilling strips: 
 1 light blue 2cm wide and 30 cm long
-         1 dark blue 2cm wide and 30 cm long



 


Take each strip and, lengthwise, fold it in half. 



Take the 2 strips together and, along the folded side, fringe them at a 45 degree angle. 



Take the 2 strips together and roll them into a tight roll. You may want to put a drop of glue every now and then to make sure that the roll does not come apart.

 

Take a pen or any other object with a point and, very carefully, push up the bottom of your rolled flower so that you make a small dome. 

 



Once your dome has the desired height, put glue inside.

 

Allow the glue to dry overnight.  I placed the flower in a mini mold so as to have a nice and even base.


 

Open the petals one by one so that you form the flower.  








VARIATION:
You can leave the flower without opening the petals and use it as a bud. 






I hope that this tutorial was useful.

How to make two-colored wheatears to look like stripes. Cómo hacer "wheatears" de dos colorespara que parezcan rayas



 
 
         
Materials - Materiales :
  • 2 different color quilling strips – any width you desire. I am using light blue and orange but you can use any 2 colors of your choice.  
  • 2 tiras de colores diferentes – papel de filigrana del ancho que desee. Yo estoy utilizando azul claro y naranja, pero usted puede utilizar 2 colores de su elección
  • Glue - pegamento
  • Quilling comb  - peine para filigrana 

  • With my method,  each color will have 2 loops but you can add more if you want.  
  •  • Con mi método cada color tendrá 2 bucles, pero se pueden añadir más si lo desea.

  • You will be turning your comb around every time that you go up or down to make the next loop. 
  • • Usted girará su peine cada vez que vaya hacia arriba o hacia abajo para hacer el siguiente bucle

Step 1
 Start with the center loop.  Wind your paper around the middle 2 teeth of your quilling comb.

Comience con el bucle central. Envuelva su papel alrededor de los dos dientes centrales de su peine de filigrana.


   
Put a dot of glue so that it stays in place.


Ponga una gota de pegamento en el centro para que se mantenga en su lugar.

 
    
Step 2
    Go to the next tooth up and wind around it. 

Vaya al siguiente diente hacia arriba y de vuelta para bajar.



 
    


 Step 3
As you come back, put a dot of glue in the center of your wheatear. 

Cuando vuelva, ponga una gota de pegamento en el centro de su “wheatear”.

  
Step 4  Loop around the bottom tooth.

 Vaya alrededor del diente inferior.

Repeat steps 2-4. 
Repita los pasos 2-4.





  Step 5 
After making 2 loops in the first color, as you come down, place a drop of glue in the center and cut the paper strip.


Después de hacer 2 bucles en el primer color, a medida que baje, coloque una gota de pegamento en el centro y corte la tira de papel.


Step 6  
 Glue the second color.  I suggest doing it at the center.

Pegue el segundo color. Yo sugiero hacerlo en el centro.


Make 2 loops in the second color following the same steps.

Haga 2 bucles en el segundo color siguiendo los mismos pasos anteriores.

 
  Step
Glue the next color  (first color again)
Pegue el siguiente color (el primer color nuevamente
 Step 8 
   Repeat steps 2-7 until you have as many loops as you need.

Repita los pasos 2-7 hasta que tenga tantos bucles como sea necesario.



Continue making as many wheatears as your project calls for.


Haga tantos “wheatears” como necesite para su proyecto.
