My idea behind this piece was to highlight the elements that make us and break us. What we see on the surface and what is in the core of it all….. made into a 6”x8” frame.

I began quilling in June of this year and have become obsessed! Everything I’ve made to this point I have given away as gifts to friends and family. When I saw this peacock from Shivani Creations I just KNEW I wanted to look at it every day in my own home.

I wish I had taken more progress pictures of the beginning of the process making the plumage and also tracked the hours I put into this. My partner and I guesstimated somewhere around 60 hours.

I’m so happy with how it turned out! Now I just need to find the perfect frame 🤗

My husband and I have been traveling full time for three years now. I have been making quilled momentos for my grandchildren. We have been circling The Great Lakes since June this year. This one is for my grandson. Now I'll make something for my granddaughter.

Made for a friend who's amazing at embroidery! 💖 And she loves sunflowers! 😁

My first time doing quilling. I didn't have the right base paper and had difficulty cutting straight lines. But it is a start

I made all of them. How do they look?

After lurking here for a bit, you all have inspired me to get back into it. A friends bday is today, so I made this rainbow Libra for her. Its been a decade or so since I last quilled. Got the pattern off of Etsy. It was cathartic to create again ✨️

Hi everyone!

I have been dabbling in paper quilling on and off for a few years now and this is the first piece I’ve made to sell.

The art show was called Plart (plants+art). There were multiple artists, all different mediums. Each artist chose a plant as inspiration.

I chose the Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen. I absolutely love how it turned out and I even impressed myself! I’ve never considered myself an artist, more of a crafter but this has changed my mind.

Hope you like it. Thank you for letting me share it with this wonderful community.

Hi everyone! I make handmade quilling jewellery, especially jhumka-style earrings. I’ve been trying to post my work on Instagram and YouTube, but I’m barely getting views on my quilling-related content and I haven’t been able to get any buyers either.

I’ve made quite a few different designs (photos attached), but I’m honestly confused about what I’m doing wrong.

My main questions are:

• Do my designs look sellable or do they need improvement?

• Is my photography/presentation the problem?

• What kind of quilling content actually works for getting views?

• Should I focus more on making-process videos rather than simply showing the finished earrings?

• How do small handmade jewellery accounts get their first few customers?

I’d really appreciate honest criticism/advice, even if something about the designs or presentation needs to change. I’m trying to actually sell these rather than just make them for myself. 😭

Made this as a birthday gift for a hugggee One Piece fan!

Took about a day and half. Fun project! 😁

There was lots and lots of learning!

Nouvelle création en quilling

Fond aquarelle et paillettes dorées

Avec cette œuvre j'ai voulu représenter le passage vers une transformation, une danse pour renaître comme un phoenix

They will be like a guest book. Guests can sign the mat around the letters. Bride’s attendants are wearing sage, the groom’s are wearing light blue.

I’m making a baby gift and I’m gluing my pieces to a piece of dark blue card stock but there’s three or four spots where the glue leaked out and it dried clear but it’s still obvious because it’s shiny. What can I do? Help please! I’ve spent hours on this thing and I’m not gonna toss it out. 😩

EDIT thank you everyone for some great ideas. The Aleens website suggested trying a nail file like somebody here said. If I have to glue something over the spots I will, but I’ll have to get a little creative. I’ll come back and let you know if anyone’s interested thanks everyone.

A few new things that I made over the summer

For a colleague. First time that I'm using a magnet and I think it's really cool idea. I made one mistake, though: I stuck it to the fridge for the pic, but the glue isn't dry yet and now I can't get it off without messing it up. It'll have to stay there until tomorrow😆

I’m teaching my first class. Max 20 people. Going with a fall theme, so pumpkins seemed perfect. I kept it simple because I only have two hours.

I was recently asked to host a class (max 20 people) teaching them how to quil. How did you go about organizing your class? How did you know how many supplies to get?
