Quilling - My Very Own Rose Garden - My Favourite


Quilled Colorful Rose Hair-Clips Collection for Girls 

Practice makes you perfect... no doubt now! I have spent hours trying to practice making roses. I loved it and every-time it kept getting better and better. I tried #quilling with every different colors in my stock and now the clip-collection looks like my very own #Rose Garden. Hope you like it. If you do then please share it. Papa gave me 10/10!

Quilling - Beautiful Floral Hair Bands



Hair Bands with quilled flowers and leaves for little girls
I learnt from comments on my posts that Sara and Sanaa +HETAL ADUKIA love hair-bands. So I though of making some for my friends at school. 

Dad bought me yet another book called "Beautiful Quilling : Step-by-Step" and it helped me learn a nice way to make flowers with a different color center. I used 3mm strips for center roll and a 5mm fringed paper for the petals. Made some small flowers and leaves and glued them on colorful hair-bands that mom got from the shop in the city. These took one full day and a lot of help from mom but came out real nice and pretty! I love them.



Broad Hair Bands with Embellished with Quilling Art


Then I sat down to make some broad ones by combining all different quilling patterns that I learnt over the past two weeks. I have now packed them for my stall. I now have the largest collection of accessories in entire Vadodara!

Quilling Combed and Folded Rose Ear-Rings


Quilled Ear-Rings using Combing Technique
I enjoyed Quilling yesterday till late in the night with Mom & Dad. I made some stylish ear-rings using the Pick Comb that I got. With my new Quilling-Kit I can make things faster and neater. Dad says I am very messy with the glue and so he helped me put them together while Mom helped me put the rings and some embellishments. Don't they look really cool! 


Combed Ear-Rings With Rose Bud 
A Rose was something I never thought can be made from Quilling Paper. I learnt it from the book 'Paper Quilling - For The First Time - Alli Bartkowski". The book showed me step-by-step with pictures how to quill a Rose. I used wide strips and 90 degree folds to quill these roses. It was difficult and I wasted five papers before I could make a decent one. But I am happy I could make it myself. Thank you Daddy for the fab pictures of my work! 






Quilling Beehive Tulip Ear Rings


Beehive Tulip Ear Rings for Girls
These Tulip Ear-Rings look very pretty with traditional as well as urban dressing. I did a lot of work over the last two days with Mom and Dad as my school starts from tomorrow and I will not have much time to quill.  





Pink Tulip Ear Rings with Beehive Quilling
Mom gave these ear-rings their name from the flowers I love - 'Tuplis', but more importantly from the way they are made. You may have noticed the Beehive on the flower, though it got hidden by the gemstone. I will make some more bigger ones.

My Paper Quilling Kit - Thank You Dad & Mom


A Gift from Dad
Two days back as someone delivered packages from  #Amazon, #Flipcart and #Craftgully. I jumped  with joy and surprise as it contained lovely Quilling Books and a brand new #Quilling-Kit including a Template Board, Crimpler and Pick Comb which I needed for some more fine work. Thank You Dad & Mom!


A Gift from Mom
This is how my #Quilling-Kit looks like. I now have Paper Punches, Slotted and Needle Tools, Fine Tipped Glue Applicator, Hard Board with Pins, Craft Papers and also Graduated / Two Tone Papers for impressive designs. I can almost quill all possible designs. 




I am all set to Quill like a Pro
I have made some stylish ear-rings using the Pick Comb and you will see them soon. The books are awesome and Dad tells me that #Alli Bartkowski is one of the finest Quilling Artist in the world. Did you know that French and Italian Nuns and Monks used this Paper Filigree Art for decorating Frames and holy books, This is amazing!

Quilled Princess Hair Band

Quilled Flower Princess Hair Band
I am working on my first stall which my mom has secured in my annual school fair. Here are some hair bands I made using quilling strips. You can do it too and I say once again, its easier than it looks. 





I can create beautiful flowers using color combinations of your choice. I can use colors matching the shades of my dress to add to its look!   





For small kids you could quill some nice butterfly or teddy which can add a smile to their face. I made one and it makes my sister's boring black hair-band look so cute and she looks even cuter when she wears it!





Quilling Stylish Fashion Ear Rings

 I have just started to learn paper quilling and with every passing day I am having more fun and more things for myself. Check out the Ear Rings I made. Dont worry - Ekta Mausi +ektabajoria@gmail.com , Ricky Bua +Vaishali Purohit, and my friends - if you like it I will get one for you next time we meet up!

Honey Comb Ear Rings for Women
Little tricky and more time taking but Honey Comb designs look really cool! I liked the orange round one the most.









Quilling Honey Comb Ear Rings for Women
Then there is different shapes to try with honey comb designs like the spindle shaped eye and cone. The birdy was small and so I had a little trouble glueing it together. 






Quilling Art - Teardrop Ear Rings for Girls 

And yes, once you have learnt to put the ear ring together there is nothing like buying some embellishments from the craft store and dot them with lovely stones. It makes it look more trendy and papa did not even believe I had done it!

Quilling Beautiful Clips for Little Kids

Husking and Looping - Beautiful Clips for Kids
My sister wanted some clips for herself. So I bought some beautiful big ones. Once I knew the basics I could experiment with various shapes and glue them to the clips for wonderful effect. This time I did some husking and looping techniques.



Coiling - Cute Catterpillar Hair Clips for kids
A cute quilled caterpillar  made from different sizes of coils, is simple yet very appealing to kids. My little sister Aashi loves to show them off to her friends and in fact gifted one to her friend.

Quilling Fringed Flower Glittery Hair Clips

Fringed Flower - Colorful Hair Clips 


Fringed Flower - Glittery Clips that stand out
Fringing is fascinating technique and can be done using a scissior and your fingers. To make perfect shapes you may want to invest in a fringer. I combined my quilling work with some really colourful hair clips to make a nice collection.

Also you could buy some nice glittery hair-clips and turn them into rich accessories which otherwise would cost you your entire pocket-money!

Quill Your Own Fringed Flower Hair-clips

Fringed Flower  - Clips to go with every dress

Fringed Flower - Clips for your special party dress  
Regular boring black hair-clips can be made into beautiful accessories suiting your outfit. I made these for my very own wardrobe and I now have one to go with my every dress!




I don't want to look same every time I wear my favorite party dress to my friends' birthday parties. So I created a bunch of clips to go with my special dress. Now there is something different every time!
