Story quilling

On English language this handicraft is called "quilling"- from the word "quill" or "bird feather". Unlike origami, which originated in Japan, the art of paper rolling originated in Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. IN medieval Europe nuns created elegant medallions by twisting paper with gilded edges onto the tip of a bird's feather. When viewed closely, these miniature paper masterpieces created the complete illusion that they were made of thin gold strips. Unfortunately, paper is a short-lived material and little has survived from medieval masterpieces. However, this ancient technique has survived to this day and is very popular in many countries around the world. Paper rolling quickly spread in Europe, but because paper, especially colored and high-quality paper, was a very expensive material, paper plastic art became an art for ladies from wealthy sections of society.

Nowadays, paper rolling is widely known and popular as a hobby in Western European countries, especially in England and Germany. But this art became most widespread when it "moved" to the East. The richest traditions of the finest graphics and plastic arts, papermaking and working with it have given the art of paper sculpture a new life.

In England, Princess Elizabeth was seriously interested in art quilling, and many of her creations are kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

It should be noted that the Korean school quilling(they call it paper rolling) somewhat different from the European one. European works, as a rule, consist of a small number of details, they are laconic, reminiscent of mosaics, decorate cards and frames. Europe is always in a hurry, so it loves fast technology. Eastern masters create works that resemble masterpieces jewelry art. The finest voluminous lace is woven from hundreds of small details. Masters Eastern schools prefer to perform twisting using a thin awl. It can be replaced make from a thick needle and cork. Also, children are good at winding on a toothpick.

Tools for quilling

To master the paper rolling technique, you do not need any special tool. At the initial stage, a visit to a regular department store is quite enough. Here's a short list of the essentials to get you started. training:

A device for twisting paper tapes. Tool for quilling It is quite possible to make it yourself. To do this, take a toothpick, cut it on both sides so that there are no sharp ends, and then on one side sharp knife make a longitudinal incision 1 cm long.

This can be a wooden stick 10 cm long and a tapestry needle with a large eye. Insert the point of the needle into the end of the stick and "take a bite" Use pliers to cut the tip of the ear so that there is a gap.

Paper for quilling. The paper must be colored on both sides. You can buy cut paper at a specialty store or cut it yourself. The width of the strips should not usually exceed 3-7 mm. Standard strips are considered to be 27 cm long and 3 mm wide. If it is not possible to purchase specialized paper, then it can be replaced with white printer paper or colored origami paper. White makes excellent workpieces for snowflakes and other winter patterns. The colored one must be selected according to density and see if it is completely painted, that is, if there is a white stripe on the cut. You can cut with scissors according to the markings or stationery knife along a metal ruler.

To work with corrugated cardboard, the same paper rolling technique is used. As a result of the fact that the strip of corrugated cardboard is thicker and more elastic, the crafts are large and voluminous, and less time is spent on their production. The most beautiful works are made from colored corrugated cardboard, painted not only on both sides, but also on the inside, that is, in bulk.

Tweezers with pointed ends will be needed for working with small parts

Technique quilling

At first glance, the paper rolling technique is simple. Strip of paper for quilling twists into a tight spiral. It will be convenient to start winding by twisting the edge of the paper tape to quilling onto the tip of the twisting tool. Having formed the core of the spiral, it is advisable to continue working without using a tool for quilling. This way you can feel with your fingertips whether the roll is being formed uniformly and adjust the effort as you go. The result should be a dense spiral less than a centimeter in diameter. It will be the basis for the further diversity of all forms. After which the paper spiral unfolds until the right size, and then the necessary quilling figure.

Technique for manufacturing basic elements.

Tight spiral. Twist the ribbon and glue the tip without removing the spiral from the needle so that the ribbon does not unwind.

A drop. Make a loose spiral and squeeze it on one side so that it takes on the shape of a drop.

Free spiral. Twist the ribbon, remove the spiral from the needle and let it unwind before gluing the end.

Curved drop. Make a drop and bend its corner.

Eye. Make a loose spiral and press opposite sides together to form an eye shape.

Rhombus. Make an eye and pinch both corners to give the piece a diamond shape.

Sheet. Make a loose spiral, compress it into the shape of an eye and bend the corners in different directions.

Triangle. Make a loose spiral and squeeze it in three places to form a triangle.

Arrow. Make a loose spiral and compress it into a triangle. Press the two corners together to create an arrow.

Semicircle. Make a loose spiral and squeeze two corners so that one side of the workpiece is flat and the other is rounded.

Crescent. Make a loose spiral and squeeze two corners and bend the workpiece into a crescent shape.

Cone. Twist a tight spiral into a cone, glue the tip of the tape, then remove the workpiece from the needle.

S-rev different elements. Twist one end of the strip, then twist the other in the opposite direction.

C-shaped elements. Twist both ends of the spiral in the same direction.

Branches. Fold a strip of paper to form a V with branches different lengths. Use an awl to twist one end of the folded paper strip. Twist the other end of the paper strip in the same direction.

Weaving technique

Take the strip with two fingers.

Pull the end of the strip with pressure with two fingers of your other hand, running your nail along it so that the end bends slightly. This is necessary to make the tip easier to wrap around an awl or toothpick.

Twist several turns of paper tightly around the awl.

When the diameter of the roller becomes 3-4 mm, it can already be removed from the awl and further turned by hand.

Twist the thick disk with both hands, always intercepting it with your fingers so that the paper tape does not unravel.

Roll up the entire strip of paper.

When the paper is all folded, relax your fingers and let the paper spiral unravel a little.

Glue the end of the strip with a PVA strip.

If you squeeze the workpiece with two fingers, you get the workpiece "a drop".

The tip of the paper is grabbed by a drop of glue. Rolls can be given the most various shapes, performing compressions and dents.

There are a total of 20 basic elements for quilling, but the principle remains the same same: fold, pinch - using your imagination you can always come up with new elements yourself quilling.

Classes on quilling you can start with the oldest preschool age, gradually increasing the level of complexity of the work.

Learning the Basic Elements quilling techniques must be carried out according to principle: from simple to complex, later, by combining different elements, children will create new images that they can realize with the help of paper strips.

The best option would be to lay out the pattern, after which each of the elements quilling needs to be glued in place.

« Postcard to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory"

To make such postcards using quilling technique will be needed:

A 5 format cardboard (white);

Set of strips for quilling 5 mm wide, length 40 cm;

PVA glue (with a convenient dispenser spout);

Scissors;

Ruler;

Toothpick for rolling paper strips.

Make a small one in a toothpick (length 5 - 7 mm) longitudinal cut. Insert the tip of a paper strip into it (V in this case orange). Roll the strip evenly into a tight roll. Then loosen the resulting spiral a little and glue the free end.

In this way, twist 5 equal-sized circles of orange color, 16 - red, 7 - green.

To make carnation petals, the spirals must be pressed down on one side and bent on the other, pointing inward.

In order for the spirals to take the shape of a leaf, they must be squeezed simultaneously from both sides.

The pointed star is formed by five elements arranged in the shape of an irregular rhombus.

Everything is ready to make the applique. For the inexperienced beginner masters You can apply barely noticeable thin lines to outline the composition. Having determined the location of the carnation buds, first glue the base of the flower, and then attach the petals to it on top. The glue should be applied in a small layer so that it does not spread.

Also glue two red flowers. Let it dry a little.

Now, from the bases of the carnations, shoot three stems diagonally, connected at the bottom. Also fix with small drops of glue.

Then attach leaves to the stems in random order. Let it dry a little.

In the lower left corner postcards glue a star, neatly and evenly connecting the component elements together.

All! Our the postcard is ready!

I hope that the knowledge you acquired today has enriched you and will help you in solving creative problems not only in art lessons, but also in life.

Victory Day in our country can, without a doubt, be called one of the most important holidays. On this day we honor the warriors who risked their lives for the sake of our calm, bright future.

A selection of videos on the topic of the article

We offer you to watch a video with master classes on the topic of making postcards in different techniques for Victory Day.

Quilling, or paper rolling, is a technique for creating planar and three-dimensional images from twisted strips of paper.

Paper mosaic does not require special expenses, talents or a lot of time to master the technique. The elements are used to create panels, postcards, album covers, decor for boxes and many others. interesting jewelry and crafts. Be sure to add this budget craft to your list of hobbies. It is suitable for both adults and children's creativity.

Where did the quilling technique come from?

Paper plastics appeared in Europe in the 15th–16th centuries. At that time, paper rolling was considered a high art. TO 19th century Quilling has become an activity worthy of noble ladies. In Russia, the hobby gained popularity only towards the end of the 20th century.

The most refined works in the quilling technique belong to Korean masters. They do not use rods to curl the paper, but rather do it by hand. First, needlewomen create small elements from which they create three-dimensional products or flat decor. The result is very elegant crafts that resemble jewelry and lace.

From rolled strips of paper you can create a picturesque panel for an empty wall or make a stunning postcard for loved one. In any case, you will get a lot of pleasant emotions from creating a new beautiful thing. This hobby is suitable for romantic, creative people who like to surround themselves with beautiful things.

The Defender of the Fatherland Day holiday is one of the most famous in our country and for good reason. After all, many people suffered, died and fought for victory over the fascist invaders during the period Great Patriotic War. There are different ways to pay tribute to the past, but the best solution in this case is art. It is this that makes it possible for the greatest and most powerful nations to live and prosper. Therefore, quilling postcards for May 9 is your contribution to the creativity fund of the entire country. Making such a postcard, as it turns out, is not at all difficult. Even an ordinary amateur can cope with such work. In this application we will try to convey Victory Day symbol- scarlet carnations with a red star! How is a Postcard with a carnation for May 9th created in quilling style?

So, we will need the following materials:

1. Cardboard A5 (Blue, yellow)
2. Strips for working with quilling (width - 5 mm, length - 40 centimeters)
3. PVA glue with dispenser
4. Quilling board or ruler with diameter
5. Ordinary scissors
6. Curly scissors
7. Toothpick or quilling device
8. Ruler

The basis

Perhaps this is enough to arrange it yourself beautiful postcard. First of all, you need to prepare the background of the postcard, on which our flower will be located. To do this, take curly scissors and trim the edges on yellow A5 cardboard. Next, we prepare the interior background using blue A5 cardboard. To do this, we make the outline of a rectangle and cut out the relief edges using curly scissors. Then, using glue, we fasten the base yellow color with background of blue color, rotate the second one slightly (angle 75 degrees).

Modules

Next, we work on the composition and twist the necessary elements for it. It's very easy to do. You need to take a quilling tool or pick up a toothpick, cut off the sharp edge and make an incision in the middle of the trunk by 5-7 mm inside. Next, insert the end of one of the pieces of paper and roll it into a tight roll. We get a tight roll. Next, we unravel the spiral, and then, at the free end, we drip glue and glue the composition together. In this way you can do a large number of different circles. In our case, there will be 16 red, 5 orange, 7 green, which will be needed for work. If you want to make the circles the same diameter, use a ruler with notches or a quilling board.

Petals for carnations

Next, we prepare the petals for the future carnation. In this case, the spirals must be pressed down on one side and bent deeper on the other. Thus, we form special sheets. Making petals is even easier. It is enough to make exactly the same blanks, squeeze them on both sides once and you will get the shape "eyes".

Other decorations

In order to make a star, you need to make an element from quilling module "Rhombus". Then, 5 such modules are made, which are folded into one five-pointed star. Afterwards, we begin to work with the application. For an inexperienced craftsman, it is best to draw the outline of the future composition. Next, take a clove bud and 5 petals. The bud is down, the petals are up accordingly. Our postcard will feature 3 carnation flowers. One is orange, the other is red. They are secured with glue, and then, from the edge of the card, they are connected using quilling lines. Then, we attach our sheets to the lines, in any order, as desired. After this, we place our star on the left edge and secure it with glue, and with right side we do number 9. It can also be formed using quilling paper.

Now our preparation is ready!

Every year for more than 70 years, on May 9 we celebrate a special holiday - Victory Day. This holiday is both joyful and sad. On this day we celebrate the Great Victory of our people over the Nazi invaders and remember all those who did not return home from that terrible war. Modern children can only learn about the events of the Great Patriotic War from feature films or books, and only a few have great-grandparents who participated in hostilities or worked on the home front during the war. May 9 is a great occasion to give gifts to veterans to congratulate them on the Great Victory. Handmade gifts are especially valuable for older people. Therefore, I bring to your attention a simple master class on making a holiday card for Victory Day. This card is made using the appliqué technique using quilling elements. Ready postcard looks solemn and at the same time festive. If desired, it can be decorated with homemade paper flowers.

To work we will need:

1. Colored cardboard;
2. White and red paper.
3. Quilling strips;
4. Glue - pencil;
5. Regular and curly scissors;
6. Quilling hook;
7. Tweezers;
8. Ruler with circles.

For the basis of the postcard we will take a sheet of blue cardboard in A4 format. We bend it in half, the postcard will be double.


First, I propose to make separately all the elements to decorate the holiday card, and then glue them onto the base.

One of the main attributes of the Victory Day is the St. George ribbon. We can easily make it from orange and black quilling strips.

Coat a regular sheet of paper with glue


and glue the strips one by one. On the left and right you need to select orange stripes 0.3 mm wide,


and the inner stripes should have a width of 0.5 mm.


We cut out the resulting St. George ribbon,


We cut off its upper edges at a slight angle.

The second, no less important attribute of the upcoming holiday is the red star. We will make a star for the postcard from two colors of red cardboard, which have different shade. First, draw and cut out three stars of different sizes.

We will outline the first and third stars on red cardboard of one shade, and the second on red cardboard of a different shade.


Let's assemble and glue all three stars together alternating colors, as shown in the photo.


On red paper we will write or print the inscription “HAPPY VICTORY DAY!”


We carefully cut out the inscription using curly scissors.

Another symbol of victory and eternal life is the laurel branch. We will also use it to decorate our postcard. Laurel branches made using the quilling technique look very beautiful. To make laurel leaves, take half a quilling strip and wind it onto a quilling hook.

and expand to a size of 16 mm.


Glue the end of the strip. As a result, we get a round roll, which we shape into a drop with our fingers.


We make 10 leaves from rolls with a diameter of 16 mm, and one, the top leaf from a roll, with a diameter of 14 mm.


For laurel berries, roll 6 rolls with a diameter of 6 mm.


and two rolls with a diameter of 4 mm.

When all the elements for decorating the postcard are ready, you can begin placing them on the base and fixing them with glue. Glue a St. George ribbon, a red star and a congratulatory inscription onto the card.

Now let's start collecting the laurel branches. For the stem we use a quilling strip, which we glue edgewise onto the card.

Glue a small leaf at the top


and below we glue 5 pairs of larger leaves opposite each other.


We also glue the stems for the berries edgewise onto the postcard; at this stage of work it is convenient to use tweezers,




and glue the berries on top of the stems: we place two small ones on top, and the rest below them.

Holiday card ready! You can write inside it nice words Congratulations to the veteran on VICTORY DAY. Happy holiday to everyone!
