DIY Quilled Paper Cards

Hello! Since Valentine's Day is only days away, today we're making cards using a rolling paper technique called quilling. You will need:

• paper- I used scrapbook paper
• cardstock
• paper
• optional: heart stencil
• glue 
• ruler
• toothpick 

First, use the heart stencil to draw a heart shape on the cardstock. 

Cut a square around it.

Set the cardstock aside and with a ruler, cut out 1-centimeter strips of your paper. 

After that, use a toothpick to spread the glue along the edge of a strip or paper. Then, use the outline of the heart to align the strip to half of the outline.

Next, glue another strip of paper onto the other half of the outline and cut off the excess. 

To make the basic quilling effect, wrap a piece of paper around a toothpick. Feel free to play around with different techniques.

Arrange your quilled paper around the heart until you are satisfied with the result. This is how mine turned out:

This DIY was so fun and relaxing to make. It's not as time-consuming as it looks, and I like the different styles of quilled paper you can make. These make excellent cards, or even as gifts. I really hope you try this one out!
