So, a short master-class on creating chamomile with the help of quilling technique. We twist a strip of paper on our toothpick or thin awl, then carefully remove it, spread it out a little and glue the tip of the paper with the help of glue, in order to finally not lose our shape.

It must necessarily look like a terry. To create this effect, you need a strip of paper, finely chopped on one side. Then we continue to work, as before, we use the torsion technique, as when creating petals. For work, you can use several colors of paper, then you have to glue a strip of two colors. When gluing such a flower, the core is glued in the center, and only then the petals are around it. How to make a daisy quilling - a leaf? To do this, we cut out two identical sheets. On one of them we glue one or two thin wires, which will be veins of the sheet, then on top the second half of the sheet. For greater realism, you can also apply shadows and shades with paint.
