New Year's candlestick using the quilling technique – DIY master class
The quilling technique has become especially popular inrecent years and mainly due to its diversity in the use of techniques, as well as due to the possibilities that open up during the use of new and unique elements of modules. Let's try to recreate a version of a New Year's candlestick made of paper, which can be presented to your loved ones, or simply decorated specifically to diversify the New Year's interior of the house.
- Take specialized paper for quilling, stripes with a width of 10 and 4 millimeters.
- Also, you need to take a regular sheet of thick paper in a dark green color
- We use the services of a tool for quilling, scissors and of course, PVA glue, you will also need tweezers.
- You must prepare a normal CD or DVD. Also, ordinary cardboard can come up.
- For work, we also take wire and acrylic paint in white (gouache can come up)
- Also, take the options for felling in the form of snowflakes, beads and half-beads for decoration.
So, we are ready to start the main work.First, we need to design the base element that will be used to form the candlestick using paper. First, take a disk or cardboard and glue a circle to its size using thick paper with a green color.
Candle stand Afterwards, it is necessaryform a special candle stand. In this case, we will need a small candle with aluminum sleeve processing. The candle stand will be formed from special green paper for quilling. A width of 4 millimeters will do to form a small tight roll with a diameter of 4 centimeters. The roll must be calcined into the central part for the disk.
The preparation elements are complete, let's get starteddesign of our craft using the quilling technique. The decoration of the craft will be due to flowers in the form of poinsettia using the design of fir branches. Also, you will need paper cones, as well as traditional snowflakes. The choice of flower is not ordinary. It is this branch that blooms during the period when all people around the world celebrate the New Year. It is this element that is considered the main traditional element of Christmas. Thus, we will form flowers for the quilling technique. To make the necessary set of petals or leaves, we need to design elements in the form of eyes for quilling, using paper with red color. It, as always, must be twisted, and then bloom in diameter by 1.5 centimeters. Then, using your fingers, we pinch the two edges of our craft and get an eye element. Then, you need to take a strip of red color by 10 centimeters and close it into a ring element, then get a shape in the form of a petal.
Then, you need to fill in the petal shapewith the help of elements "eyes". Up to three eyes should be placed on one petal of our type, there will also be a small space in the form of a rectangle. Then, take another eye element and form the desired rectangle by manipulating your fingers. To do this, you need to squeeze our element using two sides of the opposite type. Then, form a petal. Form flowers and molds Thus, we need to form 4 such products to get the shape of a flower. To make the flower voluminous, we will form a special version of the cone in the form of a red color. Three ready-made versions of the petals are glued along the cone. Then, we make two more versions of the petals, but in smaller sizes. Next, we form three elements of the eyes and also glue them together. At the same time, press them along the edges. The leaflet must be wrapped using a strip in red. The remains in the form of one large petal, as well as two versions of small ones, we glue inside the flower. Also, we form stamens in the form of small stripes in yellow design, which need to be cut in half and then, the shapes of two stripes are twisted. Then, the petals need to be glued and get options for two stamens for the flower. Thus, we formed one flower we need.You can also make two more of these options.flowers to evenly distribute them on the candlestick. Also, we will form six green flowers. These are the leaves for the flower. We form a bend at the corners so that our leaves have veins. After that, we open and then straighten our leaf. Next, we prepare spruce branches using paper. For this, we use a wire frame, which we will pre-process using a regular paper strip. The workpiece must be allowed to dry. Next, we prepare the needles version. Using a green paper strip 10 millimeters wide, we must cut our version of the fringe. Then, using a brush, we must paint all the ends of the fringe using white acrylic paint. Next, we wait until the element dries. Afterwards, using fringe, you need to glue the elements in a spiral (wire frame). Next, the tip, with the unclosed end, needs to be cut off and the needles fluffed up. Thus, our craft is completely ready!
