Learning beautiful crafts

So, what should you do with an old artificial tree? Rip the branches and prepare yourself ... I usually use the branches to decorate my staircase, but this year I did No glue no nothing just use the branches to make a circle and add your decorations on it Had some leftovers and: Fun fun fun. In the end I made a snowflack with sticks and colored it:

Hello! Yes, I'm back! In this time did not do much but a short sumary.  Let's start with the good news: did a candle holder, MY FIRST ONE! YYYEEEYYY Bad pictures coming up. Side view Up view Up view - no candle Button view Did another baby card: Yesterday made some cards for my mystery project ... bad cards Yesterday started to work on a boot. I have a quilling box project started as well. Did only the buttom, I'm not sure how tall should I make it.  Inspiration link: https://ro.pinterest.com/pin/514606694902892584/ Today: mystery cards Angel from the back Christmas hat Flowers - they started as snowflakes in my mind but did not work as expected. I know to many projects at a time and not enough time, but after winter Holiday will be over everything will go back to normal. Note: no description how where they done added. If you want to know ask please but I think is straight forward......

  Not going to start with Christmas stuff, but with take 2 for the card that goes with the frame. Looks better then the first try but not perfect. I'll take it, so no take 3! Now back to normal. Today 3 projects and will not bore you with talky talk. Only before and after pictures: Project 1: Before: After glue: In the end: Project 2: Before: After: Project 3: Before, random stuff: After Christmas tree: Not to much time to work and post, but I will try to make it you to you in the weekend!

So today I did lots of small projects, some for the Chrismass Tree and some for the secret project. Here is a small preview: Project 1 Started with a flower: Yes I did a flower, it's still socking. Started by gluing 2 strips of paper and use the tool do make them zig-zag. Then roll roll roll the boat ( make coils and transform them in slugs, used to colors a dark red and a cute red) Pin everything and glue: Project 2 Project 2 was candles so again rolling ( all project need rolling so probably I should not say it  :) ) The candle flame is done with zigzag made paper. Position and glue it together and then glue everything on a paper ( easy peasy - NOOT, glue was hell again but at least is pretty) Project 3 Snowflake Christmas ornament. just made shapes and glue them. (If it's your first time be careful so the design does not get glue on the surface you are working, ) Project 4 I liked working on the ornamen...

Continuing yesterday's Christmas theme quilling today I continued my,... I don't know how to call them, they are not my ideas people already did them, my ... quilling stuff on 14/8.5  cm  white paper ( yes today is not the day I'm going to tell you why this exact dimension). Today I feeling starting white the final versions: Side node: I added yesterday's snowman because I added a background color paper for it. Today I started white the bells. Same quilling paper 30 cm long and 0.5 width. Go today a tool for crimping ( hope I'm using the correct word, just look for Delux Crimper) At first made the basic shapes: Made the design: And glue it on paper: Second project was a Christmas tree. It all started with coils.  Started making the design, the starts did not end up looking good, but practice makes perfect.  The post is entitle part 1 because I will do more small Christmas theme quilling. Almost weekend! YEY ...

Hello! It's been a while :), don't worry I did not forget about you guys but had a little holiday and no quilling tools with me so the progress at my work in progress project is quite slow. Small update picture:  The progress is not that big and not quite my pattern but it's looking good, long way to go, but in the mean while I decided to do a small Christmas theme project, a SNOWMAN. I know it's not Christmas this month but you can never start to early and I really needed a small project to give me a boost in confidence and to see something finished. Started with copping white paper and finding out that the paper is not a perfect rectangular ( my mind was blown away). I'm using 180g/m2 paper from a old sketchbook that I did not used. So after the initial shock.. chop chop and ended up with some 14 cm/8.5 cm paper and little papers. Why exactly 14/8.5 :D It's a secret and I will reveal it later, but not later in this post, later this year ....
