For this crafts it will be necessary:
1. Dark blue base for the card.
2. Quilling paper in white, blue and blue colors; no more than 5 mm wide.
3. Quilling tool (or a simple toothpick).
4. PVA glue.
5. Brush.
6. Scissors.
7. Decorative elements.
We begin to make the snowflake itself. We will do it gradually, row by row. First, let's make the blue center, that is, a simple medium-diameter spiral with a fixed end. In accordance with the first element there must be others. This means that you need to take into account and maintain proportions so that the whole figure looks harmonious. Next, we twist 6 circles from blue stripes, clamp each one on one side, making an acute angle, and glue it to the middle with the convex part. It turns out to be a “drop”.
The second row is the “horns” or shape in which the paper is folded in half and the ends are curled outward. You will also need 6 pieces. They must be attached to the “droplets”, as shown in the figure, after gluing the inner sides to each other so that the form does not fall apart and holds well.
Next, we will make 12 closed tight spirals in the form of small blue circles and place them on the sides of the made figures called “horns”. This will give the snowflake more volume and at the same time secure the previous parts.
The next type of shape will be the “eye”. Here we use white paper. We twist 6 large and 6 smaller loose closed spirals. This time we will compress the elements not from one, but from two opposite sides.
The large “eyes” with the pointed part should be glued between the previously made “droplets”, while the small ones will be at the very top. We will glue them to the “horns” at one angle, while the other is directed to the side.
Take a snowflake and attach it to the center of the card base. Only one part of it should be glued, this will allow you to open the card and add your wishes there if you plan to give it to someone on a memorable day. To fill the empty spaces, you can use white stripes, which will look good in contrast with the blue tint, and make curls out of them. They should differ in length. These curls are similar to the patterns that appear on windows during severe frosts. Let's place them in 4 corners.
We finish the card by decorating it with shiny multi-colored beads. They can be placed so that you get small snowflakes next to the main one. We decorate the middle with one bead, and the winter-themed card is ready.
The work is simple, but quite delicate and painstaking. Do it slowly and everything will work out. And don’t forget that the craft needs to dry thoroughly.
