How to Make Quilling Paper Paisley

September 5, 2018

I’m not one for wearing much in the way of flashy clothes. I tend to stay away from patterned clothes and stick to solid tops and jeans most days. But, when it comes to home decor and accessories, I truly love patterns. And one of my absolute favorite patterns is paisley. Paisley is a very classic design element with Persian origins that recognizable by its curved teardrop shape. It has a pretty interesting background, and I think the traditional components lend…

Just recently, my kids have started getting into cloud-watching. It took them a little while to understand what in the world I was talking about. But now, they can lie in the grass and stare up at the clouds for quite a while. Even when they’re riding in the car, they’ll look out the window and ask if I can see the dragon, eggplant, bicycle-riding elephant, or whatever it is that they’re seeing in the sky. All this cloud stuff got…

After Mr. Craftery and I got married in 2009, we moved into a large townhouse in our town. It was a perfectly nice home and we stayed for a number of years until we had our children and started running out of room. One of my favorite things about that house was that every summer, dragonflies would appear from nowhere and buzz all around. I guess it was because our house backed up to a small forest. But the sight of…

You never know when inspiration is going to strike. I had a lightning moment a few weeks ago while watching HGTV. Whatever show it was had a quick scene where it panned across a revamped room, and Bam! For a split second, I caught a glimpse of an abstracted leaf print and I immediately had an idea of something similar I could make out of quilling paper. I’ve been trying to figure out some sort of artwork for our powder room since we moved into…

Quilling paper can do some pretty amazing things. It can be rolled and pinched and molded and squeezed into shape. But, thin tubes aren’t the most obvious shapes to make out of something so long and flat. This is where the lesser seen practice of making spirals can come in handy. So, this week I’m sharing a quick tutorial on how to make quilling paper spirals. This post contains affiliate links. If you click on the links below and make a purchase,…
