The quilling technique will help to make a picturesque lake, a beautiful butterfly, a charming box, an original candy box out of paper. Photos and step-by-step instructions will facilitate the needlework process.
Volumetric quilling "Lake"
See what a beautiful horizontal picture you will soon get.
As always, you need to first prepare the necessary things so that everything is at hand. Then during the creative process you will not have to be distracted. If some material or tool is missing, you can replace them.
In order to start doing quilling step by step, you will need:
- scissors;
- PVA glue and a brush for it;
- corrugated green paper;
- ruler for quilling or officer;
- toothpick or awl or other tool for twisting strips;
- paper for quilling or colored double-sided.
Here are the colors that will be used to create the volumetric work: green, blue, brown, gray. If some tone is missing, replace it with another. So, instead of blue, you can use blue, instead of gray - brown.
For the craft you need a base, a large empty candy box is perfect for this. If you do not have one, create a picture on a sheet of thick cardboard. Work begins with decorating the base. If the box acts as it, then cut the corrugated paper into strips of 3 cm with a fringe of 1 cm. Glue them to the inside edges of the box, and on its bottom - a sheet of blue paper.
We begin to craft blanks. To do this, take paper for quilling or double-sided colored strips. To make the lake itself voluminous, twist several blue blanks in the form of a free spiral.
You can get acquainted in detail with how the main details of this type of creativity look and perform by reading the first article about quilling for beginners, which talks about this in detail. The step-by-step photos presented in that article will also clearly show you how the elements of the lake are performed.
From blue paper, twist several free spirals with a diameter of 16 mm. Determine their size using the round holes of the ruler. The details of the frogs are created in the same way, but from green paper. For the paws of the animal, turn 6 parts "free spiral" into blanks called "drop". To do this, simply press the workpieces on one side with your fingers.
Now take strips of gray color 14 mm long, twist each one first in the form of a free spiral, then press with your fingers so that the outer edges are shaped into a square. These blanks will play the role of stones around the water.
You can wind quilling paper on an awl, rod, toothpick. If this is not the case, use other improvised materials of the same small diameter.
To make reeds, wind brown strips 7 cm long and 2 cm wide onto the top of the toothpicks, gluing them at the same time. Glue ribbons of green paper to the reeds to become the leaves of aquatic plants.
How to make frogs using the quilling technique, the photo also clearly demonstrates. On the right, you can see that the head consists of one tightly wound tape, and the body - of the second.
If your strips are not long enough to make the part, glue them to the paper tape. When it ends, the next strip, so that the result is a tight circle.
Slightly pull up on its middle to add volume to the part. Do the same with the second workpiece, which imitates the body, just pull the middle down. Glue these 2 blanks together, you have got the body of a frog. Now you need to make paws.
To do this, create 4 “drop” parts, glue them together, attach one small free spiral next to it. Glue these lower legs in place. For the upper ones, it is enough to make two large blanks in the form of a drop, attach them to the PVA as shown in the photo.
To make the eyes, cut out 2 circles from white paper, stick two smaller black pupil circles on them, attach them to the frog's head.
This is how paintings are created using the quilling technique that will decorate the house or become an unforgettable hand-made gift for any holiday.
How to make caskets using the quilling technique
Interesting work continues. Step-by-step quilling will help you create decorative useful things in which you can store jewelry, sweets.
For such a beautiful box, you will need a minimum of material and equipment, these are:
- quilling paper in white and brown;
- scissors;
- cardboard;
- glue;
- a device for twisting paper or its analogues that are at home.
Now apply curls around the perimeter of the heart, while gluing them to each other.
From white paper you need to make 3 hearts.
Now you need to create some tight barrels of brown paper and curls from it. How these quilling blanks are made, a step-by-step photo will help you understand.
Here is how to make barrels and curls. They are needed in order to form the bottom of the box. By gluing the brown parts together, you will get it. They should fit inside the first heart blank.
In the same way, fill in the second blank-heart. This will be the top of the box. Now you need to glue 6 barrels vertically to the third blank. 3 on one side and on the other, laying them on top of each other.
When the glue dries, turn this third blank over and also attach it with PVA to the first one, which is the bottom of the do-it-yourself box.
To fill the side of the product, glue the barrels and curls from brown paper ribbons here.
You just have to wait until the glue is completely dry, cover the box with a lid and you can admire your creation or proceed to the next product.
Crafts using quilling technique - candy bowl
Here is such a wonderful basket for sweets you will get in 1-2 hours of work. To create it you will need:
- quilling tools;
- pins;
- glue and brush;
- quilling paper in lilac, white and black.
Start by twisting the black quilling paper. When it ends, glue the edge of the white strip to its tip, wrap it around the black core. Now, to the remaining free edge of the white strip, glue the edge of the lilac one with glue, wrap the round blank with it.
Make a few of these details, cover them with the selected base.
If you are still not working in the quilling technique, then it is better to first attach the parts to the base with pins so that you can align the workpieces. When you do that, then put them on the glue.
If you want the quilling details to be visible both from the front and from the wrong side, then use the form only as a template. After gluing the elements of the basket together, remove them from the mold when the glue dries. As a result, you will get such a wonderful candy box in which you can store not only sweets, but also all sorts of little things, for example, keys.
So that there are no gaps in it, glue the same ones between large blanks, but small ones, they will fill the holes.
How a butterfly is created using the quilling technique
For needlework, you will need a quilling kit. It should include strips of paper in yellow, red, brown, orange. If you have other shades, then you will get a butterfly of a different color, but it will be no less charming.
It is not difficult to make such quilling for beginners, with the description and photographs presented, the process will become easier and more fun. First draw a butterfly on a landscape sheet, you can enlarge the next photo and use it as a base.
Cover it with transparent cellophane, put it on a wooden board and pin it to it with pins. Now we begin to make quilling elements for the right upper wing. Twist the yellow tape into a spiral, glue the beginning of the red strip of paper to its free edge. Twist it into a spiral, then press on one side to make a “drop” element. Make 3 such blanks.
From yellow paper stripes, you need to make a semicircle element. To do this, the workpiece is given a flat bottom, and a semicircular shape at the top.
Glue these parts as shown in the photo. To make a wing, attach the blank to the template, attach with pins. Glue another element called “drop” at the bottom, and 3 such details at the top.
To further make a butterfly using the quilling technique, make and connect the details for the second wing in the same way.
Now you need to make 2 bottom wings. They also consist of the elements "drop" and "semicircle". How many of them are needed, what color they are, how these parts are attached to each other, can be seen in the photo.
The upper and lower parts of the body are made of brown paper. To do this, 2 tapes are rolled up in the form of two drops and glued to each other in a mirror image.
To make the butterfly's head, fold a strip of paper halfway into a spiral shape, shape the outside of it into a polygon shape, then wind the ribbon around to shape it into a polyhedron shape as well.
It remains to make a mustache, glue the head and them into place. See how beautiful a butterfly turns out using the quilling technique.
This activity allows you to create many useful and charming things, to have an interesting and calm time. If you want to see how a butterfly is created using the quilling technique, the video will help you with this.

And silver brooches
From broken pots -
Turquoise and gold
From trunks with dresses
Pearls and platinum -
And the box is full!
Too bad it's not bottomless.
To do the job, we need:
colored double-sided paper; white sheet of A4 format; file; rulers (simple and with circles); scissors; PVA glue; simple pencil; toothpick for twisting paper; beads.
Work order:
1. Let's start our work by preparing the frame of the box. To do this, cut strips of white and light green paper 1 cm wide, 42 cm long.
2. Insert the tip of the strip into the slot of the toothpick and wind it, making circular rotations. The coils of the strips should fit snugly against each other. Having reached the end, place a ruler with a diameter of 14 mm in a circle, remove it from a toothpick, let the spiral bloom. Glue the edge.
3. For two identical sides of the frame, you will need 20 white and 24 light green rolls. And for the whole craft, you will need 230 rolls (148 white and 82 light green.
4. On the file, using PVA glue, glue 2 strips of 11 rolls each, alternating in color, starting with light green. Strip length 15 cm.
5. Cut 4 strips from white paper (width 9 cm, length 42 cm). Twist long rolls with a diameter of 14mm.
6. Glue the side parts of the box into a rectangular shape.
7. Cut strips of light and dark green 1 cm wide. Glue in this order: light green 56cm long and dark green 26cm.
8. Roll the roll, starting with a dark green strip, with a diameter of 23mm. We give the roll the shape of a leaf, pressing on both sides with your fingers.
9. For the whole craft, you will need 30 of these leaves.
10. From strips (1 cm wide) of white paper 42 cm long and light green 56 cm long, we make rolls with a diameter of 25 mm. We give the form of leaves. For the whole craft, you will need 96 of these leaves.
11. We will make flowers from pink stripes (width 1 cm, length 58 cm). We twist the rolls, dissolve to a diameter of 20mm. We make a droplet shape.
12. Fold a flower of 5 petals. We need 10 of these flowers to work.
13. We will make unblown buds from orange stripes (width 1 cm, length 58 cm). Dissolve the rolls to a diameter of 20 mm. They need 12 pieces.
14. Decorate one of the sides of the box with prepared elements. For fastening we use PVA glue. Glue a bead in the middle of the flower.
15. Let's make two identical parts (sides).
16. Estimate the dimensions of the other two sides of the frame. Size of these sides: width 9cm, length 12cm.
17. In the likeness of the first sides, we will decorate the other two sides.
18. Using glue, connect all 4 sides. Voids can be filled with white rolls.
19. So you can lay out the bottom of the box from the elements.
20. Let's start making the cover. For her, you will need two strips of 13 rolls and 6 of 9 rolls.
21. Two sides (triangular shape) of the lid need to be made two rolls smaller, since the extreme rolls are glued to the base.
22. Now let's decorate them too.
23. Let's make two identical parts.
24. Calculate the size of the other two sides. You will get an equilateral triangle (side 13 cm).
25. Decorate these sides of the lid as well.
26. Let's make two identical parts.
27. Prepare a flower for the top of the pen cap.
28. From two strips of 13 rolls and two of 9 rolls, glue the base for the lid. Connect all the details.
Quilling is a new trend among needlewomen. This art allows you to create a variety of things from paper strips. By twisting the strips, you can get earrings, a bracelet, a postcard, a figurine or even a jewelry box. Such a cute product will be a good gift if you make it beautiful and neat. Well, isn't it lovely? Jewelry can be stored in this box. In addition, it is beautiful in itself, so it can be used as an element of room decor.
To make a quilling box you will need: white cardboard, white corrugated paper, scissors, PVA glue, quilling strips of different colors, decorative ribbon of white flowers.
How to make a quilling flower box? Description of work.
1. First, cut a strip 3 cm wide from cardboard or whatman paper. This will be the height of the box.
2. To cut the line evenly, you can use a utility knife. Swipe them along the ruler and you're done!
3. From corrugated board, you also need to prepare parts. For the lid, you only need one thin strip: for edging the outer edge. Well, for the lower part, make two strips: wide - for interior decoration and narrower - for the outside.
4. And also, you will need an oval. Trace it or draw it by hand on the back of the crepe paper. Cut out two identical shafts: one for the lid of the box, and the other for the bottom.
5. Check if the ovals are the same size.
6. Lubricate one of the ovals with glue (on the back) and attach to white paper. Press down so that the oval sticks well.
7. Pick up a sheet with a glued oval.
8. Cut out the oval along the outline. You should get a compacted oval.
9. From one oval, make the lid of the box. To do this, twist a narrow corrugated strip into a donut, attach an oval along the perimeter and make a mark in the place where one edge of the strip falls on the other.
10. Re-roll the strip so that you can see the mark.
11. Smooth out one edge of the strip so that it stops being corrugated (otherwise it will not stick together).
12. Lubricate the edge of the strip and one of the sides with glue, which will be adjacent to the edge of the oval.
Place an oval in front of you.
14. Glue a thin corrugated strip to it.
15. Fasten the junction of the ends of the strip with a paper clip or something similar so that the strip can be under pressure for some time.
16. The lid of the box is ready! Now you need to make the bottom of the product.
17. The bottom part is very easy to do. Glue together two corrugated strips (wide and narrower), convex sides outward. Then grease them with glue, close them into a ring and glue them to the edge of the second oval.
18. You can try on the lid to the main part of the box!
19. Now go over the rim of the lid with glue.
20. Glue a ribbon of convex white flowers to this rim.
21. The base for the box is completely ready! It remains to decorate it with quilling!
You can make an additional paper decoration for the box.
Well, after that - roll up various figures or flowers with leaves from quilling strips and glue them to the lid.
Flower arrangements can be very different. Please note that it is interesting to decorate not only the petals, but also the middle of the flowers!
Leaves can also be custom made. If you are new to quilling, start with regular leaves and then try carved ones as well.
Such a magnificent flower will look very impressive on the box!
His leaves are also original.
It is important to choose leaves of a suitable delicate color for a sky-colored flower.
Roses can be added to the standard quilling colors!
And even these roses with twisted petals!
The middle of the flower can be just a strip twisted into a roll.
You can make flowers of very delicate colors!
Beauty, right?
Here the highlight is in the delicate shade of the leaves.
And here, on the contrary, bright details win.
This is how a quilling box with flowers turns out. It is hard to imagine more jewelry work made of paper!
In your product, you can choose the colors of quilling paper that will suit the interior.
More flowers - more beauty!

The quilling style is no longer new, but for some reason it is associated mainly with non-voluminous compositions. Paintings, postcards - yes, but did you know that this technique can also offer a three-dimensional object? The quilling box is a vivid confirmation. Moreover, it can be quite a strong thing, if it is made correctly. Read a variety of step-by-step MKs that will be clear to beginners, improve your skills with each new work. Moreover, what is done with your own hands carries your energy - take advantage of this by filling the house with items that bring joy and positive!
First steps - instructions for beginners
It will be simple, but long. Therefore, it is better to immediately strive for quality. The first thing to do is to purchase paper and a ruler for "quilling", because the box is already a serious product that requires precision in detail, and they must all be the same size.
For the next master class, you need "rolls" with a diameter of 14 mm. Place each tight "roll" in the appropriate cell and fix the size with glue.
The finished piece looks like this.
Progress
To work "Quilling: box" you will need:
- 6 different colors of paper strips;
- twisting tool - you can use a toothpick or a long needle;
- the already mentioned ruler + a simple ruler 30 cm, if you make strips with your own hands;
- scissors and transparent glue;
- the film is transparent, you can file for documents;
- ordinary office paper and just a pencil;
- beads for decoration.
Detailed manufacturing instructions. As you can see from the photo, the frame consists of parts in two colors, but you can use only one, and generally a different one. Please note that 230 “rolls” are needed for the entire frame, and 44 for the side parts. Lay the film on the table so as not to stain it with glue. Lay the "rolls" next to each other, spreading glue between them. Prepare all the strips at once:
Twist the long sidewalls separately from wide strips of white office paper according to the same measure of 14 mm. Assemble long parts and dried glued strips together:
In order for the leaves to become two-color, it is necessary to glue 2 strips of different shades of green together and twist them, starting from the dark one. Give each the shape of an oval with sharp corners, only 30 pieces, with a diameter of 23 mm:
By the same principle, green-white leaves with a diameter of 25 mm are made, in the amount of 96 pieces.
With a diameter of 20 mm, we make petals for 10 flowers (50 pieces). Orange will be of various shapes, but all 20 mm:
We take our frame and paste the elements inside according to the scheme, wherever the parts touch each other, coat with glue, glue a half bead to the middle of the flower. There will be 2 such frames. Based on the size of the resulting frames, the other two should be 9x12 cm. Draw a rectangle with these dimensions on the paper under the film to lay out the “rolls” strictly to the lines. Start collecting the pattern in the frame step by step:
Where there are empty spaces, you can simply leave them as they are, or fill them with “rolls” of any delicate color - the same light green or white will do. If you want to strengthen the quilling box when you assemble the frame, glue each one onto a slightly smaller piece of colored cardboard at the end. The bottom is generally made of thick cardboard will be more relevant.
Gather all 4 sides together, when the glue dries, lay out the bottom. We make a cover from the same as the side strips. You need 6 short strips of 9 parts and 2 long strips of 13. For the lid, we also first draw a triangle on paper. But here it’s the other way around - first lay out the finished stripes, and then draw a triangle on them. Two such details should turn out:
It turned out that the end triangles will be equilateral - 13 cm each side. We decorate. We make the frame for the lid according to its dimensions, when all the triangles are already glued together. As the handle of the box there will be a voluminous flower - it is made from one whole and a half:
Finished lid:
So the quilling box is ready - original, exclusive and cute!
Draw a few sketches of boxes in advance and choose the right one for your work. It is unlikely that you will find any specific templates, and this is not necessary - your imagination will help better!
Step-by-step descriptions are great to start with, but later you need to try some new ideas yourself. How to make other figures, in addition to boxes, look at the photo. The whole box in general can consist of the same elements:
Not only the entire box is assembled from "quilling", but also simply decorated with individual elements.
Using the quilling technique, you can create any product for decoration. Creative quilling is an elegant box. A paper box covered with quilling differs little from a traditional one made of dense material. Compliance with small subtleties of manufacturing will allow girls to create a masterpiece for storing their own jewelry.
For quilling, tools have long been invented to make it comfortable for the master to work with paper. With the help of such things, the process of rolling paper becomes simple and relaxing. Work is more like a relaxed vacation that clears the mind and calms the nerves. The latter is missing for many after hard work.
Set for creating a box in quilling:
- Quilling tool. In its role is either a specialized tool from the store, or improvised material - an awl, a toothpick, a knitting needle. The main condition for a homemade tool is a slot for securing paper. Secondary - strength, concerns the tree.
- Tweezers. We need flat, without distortions and with easy fixation tweezers. Otherwise, deformation may occur on the paper.
- Sharp and serviceable scissors.
- Sample. For it, you can use a ruler in which there are various shapes for tracing.
- Glue. Possibly PVA.
- High density paper for the base of the box.
- Colored paper for quilling.
The main thing in quilling is paper. Do not use hard paper or regular offset paper. It is enough to purchase school colored paper at any stationery store.
Having tools and material, you can start making the box. But first you need to understand its design.
Quilling boxes: schemes for independent work
The scheme for creating a box is nothing special. It is important to gradually work on its elements. Quilling boxes has a feature - the creation of decor. Here the master has freedom for imagination, since the body, as a rule, is made of durable material. And only then comes the decoration process.
The decoration of the outer walls consists of decor. To create it, use the following schemes:
- Spiral. It is created using the technique of directly winding paper tape on a needle.
- Free spiral. It is also created, but before gluing the end, it should be allowed to bloom. Only then should the end be glued. It turns out a magnificent decoration.
- A drop. It is created similarly to a free spiral, only one side unfolds.
- Curved drop. Created by extruding one side.
- Eye. Stretch out opposite sides.
These are the simplest schemes of elements. You can learn them at an early stage.
- A triangle is a free spiral compressed in 3 places.
- A sheet is a free spiral bent in one place. The elongated end is bent down or up.
- Arrow - after creating a triangle, you need to compress 2 of its corners to each other.
- Crescent - Somewhat similar to the eye, but the ends should be bent in one direction.
- The bird's foot is obtained from a triangle. It is necessary to squeeze 2 corners towards the third and press hard.
When creating complex shapes, you need to carefully work with paper and avoid kinks or excessive compression. If careless actions, the paper is easily torn. For examples, you can look at the pictures on the Internet.
Using the presented schemes, you can create decorations to your taste in boxes. Combining with their location, the craftsmen achieve the attractiveness of their projects. At an early stage, it is important to learn how to make all the elements, and only then proceed to their widespread use in boxes.
Quilling box in stages: progress of work
As an example for beginners, the creation of a box is given, which at the same time will take on the functions of a vase. That is, she will be able to store things and will decorate the house with flowers placed in her. You will have to work hard to create it, but the time spent is worth it.
First of all, flowers are created, the progress of work in stages:
- To do this, you need colored paper, cut into strips 1 and 0.5 cm wide. Narrow ones must be of the same color. There should be 5 dozen stripes in total.
- On wide strips, fringe should be applied two-thirds of the width.
- The ends of the wide and narrow tapes are glued together with glue.
- The resulting strip is wound on a needle. You need to start with a narrow strip, and end with a fringed part.
- After twisting and gluing, the fringe of the flowers straightens out. Got daisy flowers.
The wider the color palette, the brighter the decor of the boxes will be. But you should not make the color scheme too colorful.
For decoration, you can use any kind of flowers. You can roses - they are easier to make. Minimalism will help save time. At the same time, complex elements will add high cost to the product.
Quilling vases and boxes: making lids
A homemade vase-box will receive an egg-shaped base. The choice of an unusual shape is associated with the dual purpose of the product. A square box will not look like a vase with flowers. And on a semicircular frame, multi-colored buds made by hand using quilling will harmoniously fit.
The process of manufacturing the upper part of the frame step by step:
- You need a hard lid that resembles an egg shape. It can be made from cardboard for lack of such in the economy. Or use a real egg.
- Wrap with foil and seal.
- Paste the frame with paper on all sides with 4 stripes that will intersect at the tip of the egg. Glue the flowers onto the paper frame.
- The gaps should also be filled with flowers.
There is no need to hurry with pasting the frame with flowers, since the hive must dry. If there are too many gaps, then petals should be glued to the flowers.
The resulting herbarium on a paper frame must be removed after the glue has dried.
How to make a quilling box with your own hands
The final part remains - to create the lower part of the future vase-box. To do this, you need to glue the form and decorate it. Some decorations will serve as a support. Therefore, their creation should be given increased attention. The stability of a homemade box depends on them.
The process of creating the bottom mold:
- With the lower part of the base, perform the operation of pasting with a film. Fasten the frame tape along the edge of the widest part. The ends must be tightly glued
- On the frame tape, you can glue decorative details in the form of square rolls that have been previously twisted.
- Thus, the entire lower part is pasted over.
Rolls should be made in the color of the entire frame - green. They should be about 8 mm in diameter. You can play with the size.
The stand of the vase-box is made of decorative elements. To do this, you need to create 16 forms in the form of tree leaves from green paper and arrange them in a circle. A box is installed on this stand, the lower part of which is connected to the stand. The craft must withstand the load.
Homemade quilling: a box and a master class on it
It is not always possible to do a difficult thing the first time. To avoid problems for beginners in creating an egg-shaped box, below is a quilling master class for a simple box in the shape of a pentagon.
Stages of work:
- It will take 5 columns of 5 cm each. Their sides should be round. You also need a large number of wound spirals.
- It is necessary to glue 10 strips of spirals. There are 11 spirals in each strip.
- The strip is glued to a long post on both sides. The base is formed in the form of a 5-gon.
- Next, a decor of various forms is created. Can be used in leaf form. They need to be glued into the walls of the box.
- The lid and bottom may differ from the walls in the form of decorative elements. In the middle of the upper part, a cover should be made from individual elements so that they stand out.
There is nothing complicated in the design. The main thing is to use elements of different colors. You can create a box of any shape, even heart-shaped or round.
