Important Details about how to use Needle: Hello everyone. So before starting the course, I would like to give you a T, a small tutorial about how to use this needle for paper cooling art. I know it may look simple, but for the bigness sometimes it becomes difficult to use. But when you get the habit of doing this, I'm sure that you will be able to do it very fast. Like this is the needle and here is a small gap, you can see, right? This is the small gap between the two lines. What you have to do is take the stripe of paper which has a flat surface as you can see. Just insert inside like this. I hope you can see this. Okay, I can do in this way. I'm comfortable in using the right hand and I'll hold this stripe with the left hand. As you have seen that I have inserted this strike from the center, just you need to turn this, that's it, and start rolling. I have the habit of doing it fast. As you can see, it's easy for me to roll, but I would suggest you to do it slowly. See sometimes it just gets out of the line and this removes. First, I'll suggest you to at least take two to three stripe of paper and just roll it and practice it. It will be easy for you to make the patents. Thank you and see you in the next video. 3. Your Project : My honest request to all my students is, please do share your creativity in the project gallery. 4. Tools required for Quilling Art: Hello and welcome. So in this course, we are going to need a coiling tool, which is a needle like tip for rolling and shaping the paper strips. A clear drying Lu is ideal for coquiling projects. And these are the thin stripes of paper available in various colors. Different colors allow for creative and colorful designs. So let's start. 5. Quilling Patterns - Tight Coil,Loose Coil,Tear Drop,Shaped Teardrop and Bent Teardrop : Hi again. In this video I'm going to teach you the patterns of the paper coiling art. We have 22 patents which are being taught in this course, but as the patterns are being taught in a practical way, I have divided this 22 patents in a different videos. My request is that if possible, please do it along. It will be very helpful for you. Okay. All the best. Let's start first. We will start with the tight coil. We just have to take the needle in the hand preferably I will use my right hand for this and you have to hold the stripe and just roll the needle on it. I understand this will be the habit, only after you do this practice. Every time try to pull the stripe from one hand so we can get the tight coil and then we can just add the glue. Remember, add a very little glue because it is a very thin stripe of paper and it gets sticked very easily. Here we go, this is our tight coil. Second we go for the loose coil, again, you have to hold the needle and the paper. As you can see that I'm using my right hand for the needle and the left hand for the paper. But you can use it any way you like, just carefully. You have to roll the needle. As you can see, it got slipped from my hand, but that's fine. You can just pull from one end and slowly you can make a loose coil. This, add a little glue and you can just stick it. Here we get the loose coil. Third is a to drop again, the same procedure. Just be careful while rolling. Okay, just make them a little loose, then we can just add a little glue and stick it first. Then we can make it in a tear drop shape. We just have to pinch this one side. And here we get. Here we go. Four is shaped teardrop. Similarly, it's like a tear drop only, but we can give a little shape again, make it a little loose. You can hold it in three fingers and make it loose a little glue. Now you just need to stick that. Now you can see that I'm just bending the one side. Okay, So this is the shaped tear drop for this bent tear drop here. I'm adding two strips of paper first so that I can get a big coil. Please roll it carefully. Because we have used two strips of paper, there are very more chances to come out easily. I'm just holding it in three fingers and rolling it very carefully. This is it, make it a little loose as you can see after making it lose the shapes, becomes a little not good. Again, I have just made it with my own fingers. Then Just add a little glue. Yeah. And now we have to stick it. It takes a little time to stick. Okay. So I'm just bending from one side, just more pinched and curved. Here we go. 6. Quilling Patterns - Curve Teardrop,Marquis: Six, this golf deal drop. Not so tight and not so loose coil. Adding a glue and then sticking it. With the help of the needle, we can just make it curved so this curve tear drop. Now next is Marcus again rolling the stripe of paper with the help of the needle. Do it carefully, just make it loose a little and now add to stick it. Then you just need to pin from both the sides to give the marks shape. 7. Quilling Patterns - Double Curve Marquis,Duck Foot,Square: Now at this double curved Marquis, take the needle and the stripe of paper and roll it. I make it a little loose as you can see. I'm just holding it with two fingers. And I'm doing it very carefully because there is very more chances that the paper can just slide away and it gets open easily. I'm just pinching from both the sides and just giving it a nice curve shape. Next is duck foot. Again, we are ruling. Okay, again, the same procedure. Lose the coil, add some glue, stick it. Now you have to make a shape which look like a duck foot. Do it very carefully, it's really easy. You just need to concentrate and just pinch on the edges. And on the one side, here we go, next is a square shape and add some blue and stick it, and now we can try to get the square shape. There we go, square shape. Oh. 8. Quilling Patterns - Rectangle,Crescent,Ghost: Now next shape is rectangle. Again, the same procedure doing multiple times. You can see that now our practice has become more nice and I can roll it very fast. Okay, so make it a loose coil stick with the glue tire. A little glue because it is enough. Otherwise our fingers will become very messy and unnecessarily. Then it gets stick to the paper and now I'm giving a rectangle shape to it are rectangle. The next is a crescent shape, make it a glue. Again, adding the glue, now we can give you the shape of Krysten. Okay, so here we get the crystal shape. Now the next shape is ghost carefully. Okay, remove it and just make the loose coil. Sure. 9. Quilling Patterns - Shark Fin,Triangle,Arrow: The 14th pattern is shark fin, roll the stripe with the needle, stick with the glue. Now give a shape of shark fin. 15th pattern is tangle, make it loose coil, stick with the glue, give the shape of the triangle. 16th pattern is arrow, roll the stripe, make a loose coil and then stick with glue. First we will make tear drop shape, and then with the help of needle make arrow shape. Here we go. 10. Quilling Patterns - Heart,Arrowhead,C-Scroll: The 17th pattern is heart shaped. I've used the red color stripe, we just rolled it made a loose coil. Now with the help of needle, we can just tuck the middle part and then we can get a nice heart shape as you have seen. First we made the teardrop shape, and then we just made a little hole on the upper side with the help of the needle so we can get a heart shape. Here we go. Next is arrowhead again. We made a tear drop shape and we just made a little pointing on the upper head. Yeah, Yeah, we get the arrowhead. Now for the roll from one side, we'll roll to half. Just leave it as it is from the other end. We will again do the same thing. I will also leave that as it is. It will give us a nice sea rule. 11. Quilling Patterns - V-Scroll,S-Scroll,Assymetric V-Scroll: Now the next one which is a 20th pattern, it's a V scroll. Now for the V scroll, we actually have to make a V shape. For that, you have to take a stripe, make it half, just fold it. And from the one end start rolling with the help of the needle. This bring it down by rolling till the very end only 30% should be remained. We have to do the same thing with the other end. Also, roll it again from the outside direction. Come down till the 30% of the strike is remaining. Leave it. And now you can see that we got the proper V shape. This is called a scroll. Now the next one is the 21 pattern. It's scroll again. For the scroll, we have to make shape for that. Start rolling one end of the stripe, come down, then from the other end, start rolling the stripe with the needle again and come down. As you can see the shape of the, the upper one is little, small, the circle is a little small and the down one circle is a little thick. When you will take the stripe and a needle in your hand, you will understand like how much you have to roll for here we get the proper shape of S. This is scroll now the last one which is 22nd pattern is asymmetric scroll. For this you have to take the one end and start rolling with the help of needle. Just make it little roll and then leave it. Now there is some twist. We can just fold the stripe from only this half, not less than half once you do that. And then from the other end, start rolling with the help of needle and come down. Now you can see that we have made the two roles, which is not symmetric, it is asymmetry. This pattern is very useful in the flower decoration. 12. Learn how to make Greeting Card with Paper Quilling Art - 1: Superb everyone. I'm really happy that you're done with 22 patterns. I'm very sure that you're happy to learn that. Now we are going to learn how to make three simple greeting cards with the paper coiling art. Let's get started with the first gritting card. For making a gritting card, we are going to need a paper stripe, blank gritting card, needle and blue. These are the paper stripes which we are going to use for making the petals of the flask. This will be the gritting card. And here's a needle. So let's start. First, we will start making the petals of the flowers. We'll make a loose coil, stick with a glue. And like this, like this, you can make four petals. First thing, I want you to tell you one thing. It's your choice whichever color you want to use. I'm using white paper, but it's totally up to you whichever color you like. You can just pick and start rolling, but be careful while rolling. As you know, if you go fast it may get slip and you have to start it again. Then as you can see that we are giving the shape of the Marquis, slightly pressing at the edges. Here we got the white color paper stripe and we made it in a shape of Marquis. And now we have started ruling for the green stripe paper so that we will be using for the center part. And now, here we go. Here we go. For the blank greeting card paper, you can just draw the lines at the corner. You can also draw like some flowers if you want, with the help of the sketch pills. But as I wanted, I just want to show you in a very simple way. I've drawn four lines at the corner, now I'm just giving, now I'm just giving a try before sticking, you should first keep the petals on the blank greeting cards so that it will give you an idea like how it looks. When you are clear with that, you can just go ahead with the sticking part. So we have to stick everything now. Now for the ten, I'm just using the long stripe of green color paper first, it gets difficult to stick, but you should just hold it for some time and then it will automatically get stick. Now take green striped paper and start making leaves. I'm giving it a tear drop shape here. I have chosen two yellow teardrop and two green drop for the leaf of this flower. Now start sticking it. Yeah, I think now it's going to look perfect. So, So this is the last one we are sticking. And here we go. I just loved. Yeah, It's looking very pretty and simple. Once it gets dry, it will just look beautiful. 13. Learn how to make Greeting Card with Paper Quilling Art - 2: That's amazing. Now let us go for the next gritting card. As you can see, we have used the patterns which you have been learned in this last videos. So let's go for the second greeting card. All the rest. Okay, for the second greeting card, we are using the colors blue and purple. And we are going to make a flower again on the pink blank critting card. So let us start. First, we'll start making the petals for the flowers. So I'm starting with the purple color stripe. Again, be careful by rolling the stripe of paper. Make a little loose and stick it. Okay, now I'm giving it a ghost shape, as you can see that we have already learned in this patent. As you can see, the ghost shape is very easy to do. You just have to make a loose coil, and at the outer lines you have to pinch it on the two sides to make it as a ghost shape. Now trying to make a stem here I'm using a light blue stripe paper, giving it a shape as a stem. I have made three for three flowers. Now on the blank greeting card paper, keep it and just take an idea about how it looks. Please be careful and please remember. Don't stick it first. You need to check how it looks and then you can go for the sticking part. Let's stick the stems first. Okay, Now start arranging on a card and start sticking one by one. Oh, here we can see on the edges of the stem that you can see there is a white blue which is coming out. But don't worry, when it gets dried it easily, it won't be visible very carefully. You can see that some blue gets stick on our fingers too, to try to remove it. Otherwise, the papers are very light, they will easily get stick to our fingers. Now start making leaves. I'm giving the leaves, I'm just taking the two leaves. And here we go. I think I should bend the stem in this way. Yeah, this looks more better. So here we go. So we are done with the second reading card. 14. Learn how to make Greeting Card with paper Quilling Art - 3: Now the time for the last reading card. Let's start for the third reading card. Let's start taking a stripes and a blank reading card. I'm using the colorful stripes. Let's start first. Okay, the first thing, start quiling. I'm making a loose coin. Be very careful while making a loose coin. I'm using the pink color now, so we have made the two pink color coils. Here you can see that two red and two pink. For the red I've made more loose, but for pink they are a little bit tight. And I'm giving the teardrop shape to all the four coils. We are here to make a small and cute butterfly. Now, with the help of white striped paper, start coiling and make a tight coil. So I have made five tight coils of white stripe of paper and now we have to arrange it on the card paper if the coins are very small and it becomes difficult to arrange with the help of fingers. So you can use pencil or a needle to give it a proper sequence. Now the two antennas, so I have used the orange stripe. Just roll it till the half in this way. And here we go, we get one antenna and we'll do the same thing with the other antena also. Here we go, I think our butterfly. Now there is only a sticking part. First I'll arrange it and then start sticking with the glue. Go slow. Don't be in a hurry. And don't put so much of glue because it is a paper. It gets ticked fast and now it's sticking part for the Anna. And here we go again. We can see some glue which is coming out, but don't worry, it will get dry. Now, we can also decorate with something. This color is not so bright, so I'm choosing the other color. Yeah, this color looks perfect on this. Such greeting cards are very useful on any occasion. When you give your personalized cards to loved ones, it is very touching, it feels amazing. I'm writing welcome. Yeah, here we go. Our third getting card is also done. I hope you liked it. 15.
