Quilling

January 23, 2016

I recently inherited a large tub of quilling supplies that included tools, paper packs and kits. The art of paper quilling is a beautiful decorative art that can cross over into the miniature realm. My grandma Grace taught me this art when I was young.

I always liked the miniature flowers the best, especially paper roses. Here’s a bowl of roses I made with grandma.

I remember this book from my art sessions with her.  :]

I always loved the crimper tool since it looks like an owl.  :D

I will be listing some of the decorative art kits on eBay, but these are the ones I am keeping for future projects.

Some plants are more realistic than others, but I even like the appeal of the more artful ones.

I haven’t opened them, but I think some of the kits have the materials to make the wall boxes, too.

Even if I don’t make quilled paper bowls, the plants themselves will work well in miniature scenes.

With my true miniature flower kit experience, I am sure these can be made into some great plants.

In addition to the kits, there were several sample packs of pre-drawn leaves. These will come in handy for miniature plants.

There were also loose instruction sheets for plants. I have plenty of color paper packs to make these in any combo I like.

There were also two kits with miniature accessories.

I think these are just paper kits without the minis included.
