Spider Flower






While browsing the internet I found this "Spider Flower", I liked it so much that I took upon myself to try and reproduce it in quilling.




After some thought of how I would do it, this is my quilled rendition of such an exotic flower.



For this flower I used all white, 3 mm wide and 30 cm long paper strips, except for the center fringed flower that I used 10 mm wide strips. For the leaves I used 3 mm wide and 30 cm green paper strips,

For each petal

 


Make 3 closed circles
Shape the 3 circles into marquises.
Glue the marquises together.  

For the “spider web”

Take four (4) 30 cm long strips and glue them to the back of each petal, according to the picture.

 

Cut the strips lengthwise right up to where the strip touches the petal.

 


Curl each half strip toward the “front” of the petal.  DO NOT FLUFF THEM YET

 

For the center of the flower (fringed flower)

Glue enough 10 mm wide and 30 cm long strips back to back and fringe them. 

 

Make a fringed flower. The flower should be about 1.5 cm in diameter. DO NOT SPREAD THE PETALS YET. 

 


Leaves



 

For the leaves I used 3mm wide and 30 cm long green strips.
I used a pattern that I had at home because I could not really tell what the real leaves looked like,

ASSEMBLY

Place the fringed flower in the center of your quilling grid.
Glue the petals to the fringed flower. 

 


 


Fluff the “spider” strips

 

Open the petals in the fringed flower. 

 

Congratulations you have finished your Spider flower and are now ready to glue it onto the background of your choice.


Glue the leaves on to your background and then glue your flower on the leaves.
