These are just soo adorable and make great gifts too!


Materials Required:
 i) Newspaper
ii) Thread
iii) glue

v) A truckload of patience




Step 1 :  Make your dome, You could refer to my tutorial here http://qualityquilling.blogspot.in/2015/06/how-to-quill-newspaper-bowl.html on how to make the newspaper domes


Step 2:  Paint your shells and make individual strands like these, you could concentrate on the bigger owns at the bottom and making it smaller as you move up

Tip: Get shells which already have holes in them!it makes the job a whole lot easier!



Step3:  It is as easy as that! The next step would be to pierce your newspaper domes and tie your strings to it

Tip;Make sure that all the strings weigh approximately equal to one another to ensure that you windchime is not tilted to one side

The Troublesome Treble Clef!



Hi all! this is a treble clef which I quilled over a month back to be framed...But when I was outlining it, The cone kinda burst leaving the solid black and white full of glitter...I spread the colours equally. but the background card board was spoiled.. I took it up today armed with my pearl paints...I cut the clef out and painted it. And here it is now!

Then I realised what am I ever gonna do with it!! 
SO, I came up with a couple of ideas, And here they go!
And also comment below if you have any!


Yes!! Easy way to jazz up your classic notebooks! (pun intended.)

That's some electronic music!
You can hang it almost everywhere!! From your doors, walls, noticeboards!!!

Keepquilling!!

A quilled tree



Hi guys!!
I know its been a while since I posted something!! These 2 weeks had been soo busy!!! I actually quilled something last weekend but it got wet before i could take a pic! So this tuesday when I had to make a poster for english on trees, I had to quill it!!
At the beginning, i wanted to make it a banyan tree like the one I saw in DAYDREAMS. But I had to submit it today!! I didn't have time!so i kept it simple.I think it looks awesome!!But wwhen i had made the first layer, there were soo many gap... Not being satisfied i ended up making 3 layers of beehived stacks!! I used 5mm,7mm and 10mm strips here. and for the trunk I used an old paper bag!!

a zooom!

DIY Door Decor!

Hi,
Every time I walk into my room, I have the feeling that my door looks very plain and old.I used to stick a few music posters on it, but then that did not satisfy me... So.. I quilled a few designs and stuck it on my door with some double sided tape.At first I quilled one big design and later I ended up making many! These look really pretty on your door and will be good gifts too...here are the pictures of a few:




one of my personal favs! i used it on my door!
