On the third day of quilling we will make a Winter Wreath
In honor of Advent, I thought it appropriate to make a wreath. You can click on Fringed Flowers if you need help with making the flowers.
To start with, I punched a 1-1/2 inch (3.82 cm) circle and then cut the center out. Refer to the photo at the end of this post showing the back of the wreath. For the fringed flowers I used 3/8 inch (.95 cm) wide paper. The shine that you can see in the photos is from the metalic paper that I used.
The fringed flower at the top of the wreath is made in the following way:
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) tight coil
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) White fringed strip
1 - 4 inch (10.16 cm) Green fringed strip
Glue the white and green fringed strips together at one end. At the end that is glued together, glue it to the red strip. Beginning with the red, roll the paper, keeping it tight and gluing it together.
After the glue has dried, place the flower on a hard surface and gently push down on the fringe so that they are
The remaining 5 flowers are arranged around the wreath and are made in the following way:
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) tight coil
1 - 2 inch (5.08 cm) White fringed strip
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) Green fringed strip
Glue the red, white and green strips together end-to-end Beginning with the red, roll the paper, keeping it tight and gluing it together.
After the glue has dried, place the flower on a hard surface and gently push down on the fringe so that they are spread out as shown.
To fill in the wreath, I did the following:
8 or more - 3 inch (7.62 cm) teardrops that are placed between the fringed flowers to fill in the design.
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) heart, see photo for placement
2 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) curled strips (see photo). Cut the ends at an angle, and weave through the wreath for added color
Enjoy!
