Quilling Leaves – Tutorial

The technique of quilling leaves with paper strips has been shown. Leaves can be made in different patterns – here two such patterns are shown. The technique shown here is also used to make flowers and various other designs. Let’s see how to quill leaves…

How to make a Quilling Leaf:

Type 1

Step 1:

We start with a paper strip and a quilling needle.

 Step 2:

Quill to make a coil.

Step 3:

Use glue to secure the coil.

Step 4:

Pinch at one point in the coil to get a tear drop leaf. This is the simplest leaf design and is used in a variety of quilling projects.

Type 2

Step 1:

I’ve made this leaf using quilling strips in two colors glued together. Make a loose coil just like how we did in Type 1.

Step 2:

Hold the coil at the center using a pair of tweezers.

Step 3:

Now bring the sides together to get the desired shape.

Step 4:

Use glue to hold the two sides together and to complete the leaf.

These are just a couple of designs in which leaves are quilled. A variety of other designs can be quilled too; based on the type of project, the design is chosen. Will try to update a few more types…
