Original baskets, quilling for beginners
So!We will need: - Basket - Newspapers - Cling film - Scissors - Scotch tape - Napkins - Pencil - Quilling paper - PVA glue - Glue gun - Ribbons, rhinestones (optional). 1. The first thing we will start with is preparing the basket itself. I found an ordinary flower basket. I cleared it of excess. If you have a basket with a handle like mine, you can decorate it with ribbons, rhinestones, corrugated paper. Or leave it natural as is. 2. Now you need to fill the void in the basket with a newspaper ball. I crumple several newspapers into a ball and wrap them in cling film. I put them in a basket. 3. The next process is creating roses from napkins (I have the most common single-layer pink and white ones). I cut the napkin into 4 parts. I wound one part of the napkin to the middle on a pencil. After that, I squeezed the napkin to the middle from both ends and took out the pencil. I easily rolled the resulting blank into a rose. I fastened the lower part with tape. You can tie it with a thread and ribbon. I got 8 pink and 4 white flowers (the costs are pennies, they look very good). 4. Using a glue gun, I secured the roses so as to cover the entire surface of the newspaper ball. 5. Then I made 3 large flowers from quilling paper. I secured the flowers to a toothpick so that it was convenient to install between the roses (so to speak, a volumetric effect). I decorated the flowers with rhinestones. I also made a few small flowers from red and blue quilling paper for the basket handle. I cut out stems from double-sided green paper. You can add or decorate it to your taste. And here's what I got. Very cheap and looks like an original gift for any occasion.
