How to Cut Quilling Strips with a Cricut Explore Cutting your own quilling paper strips with an electric cutting machine is really quick and easy, and it’s how I’ve been cutting my own paper for many years now. I had to cut my own thicker paper for “on edge quilling” or "quillography" projects because venders just didn’t offer it until the last couple of years. Ever since I made cutting files for myself, I’ve been giving them away on my blog. If you’ve downloaded my cutting files in the past, then you’ll want to download my updated files because I’ve made significant improvements on them. Watch my video tutorial to see how the cutting path has been made as efficient as possible. My files are created in 5 widths for: inches: 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/5 mm: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 The following machines can import SVG (Amazon affiliate links): Cricut: Explore, Joy, Maker Silhouette: Cameo, Curio, SD (with Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition) Brother ScanNCut Pazzles Vue Bosskut Gazelle The following machines can import DXF: Silhouette: Cameo, Curio, SD Method 1 - Cut Quilling Strips with Margins Cut your strips with margins on either side and they will never get tangled. After tearing them off, you'll need to trim the ends to make them clean. Method 2 - Cut Quilling Strips with Fringe Leave a margin on one side and your strips will still be manageable. There is less wastage than Method 1, and I usually use this method on scrap pieces rather than full sized pieces of paper. Method 3 - Cut Quilling Strips Without Margins There is no wastage with this method of cutting, and the strips will all be individually cut. Bonus - Happy Birthday Message Decorate a birthday gift with a unique twist using letters on a ribbon of quilling!

Op mijn andere blog schreef ik over het SCHERENSCHNITTMUSEUM in Vreden (Duitsland), daar heb ik genoten van prachtig papierknipwerk. Sommige exemplaren waren maar enkele centimeters groot. Op het blog The Essence of the Good Life van Lene (het blog is helaas niet meer toegankelijk) las ik over papierknipkunstenares KAREN BIT VEJLE. Ongelooflijk wat zij maakt. Karen knipt meters papier tot prachtige kunstwerken. Al meer dan 35 jaar is ze in de weer met papier en schaar. Karen heeft haar eigen techniek en stijl ontwikkeld en is een van de meest getalenteerde papierknipkunstenaars van Scandinavië. Zij gebruikt slechts één stuk papier en één schaar. Karen werd in 1958 geboren op Funen in Denemarken. De "Bit" in haar naam kreeg ze van haar jaloerse broer. Op 16 jarige leeftijd zag ze voor het eerst een papierknipkunstenaar aan het werk in park Tivoli in Kopenhagen. Toen ze thuis kwam pakte ze papier en schaar en heeft het sindsdien niet meer losgelaten. Karen studeerde Deens aan de Universiteit van Aalborg. In 1983 bezocht ze het Hans Christian Andersen huis in Odense en zag daar het papierknipwerk van deze sprookjeschrijver en papierknipkunstenaar. Karen besloot tijdelijk te stoppen met haar studie en zich bezig te houden met papierknipwerk. Karen trouwde en in 1985 verhuisde ze met haar man naar Trondheim in Noorwegen, kreeg 3 kinderen en werkte als projectleider en journalist bij de NRK (Noorse tv). Ze was hoofdredacteur van het tv programma "Tore på Sporet"(Spoorloos). Meer dan 35 jaar was papierknipkunst een hobby voor Karen. In 2008 had ze haar eerste tentoonstelling in het NORDENFJELDSKE KUNSTINDUSTRIMUSEUM, daar waren 69 exemplaren van haar papierknipwerk te zien, die ze in een periode van 25 jaar had gemaakt. In 2008 was ze op het Winterfestival in Røros in Noorwegen. Het 7 meter lange en 1.20 meter hoge papierknipwerk, "Shostakovich's piano trio nr.1 opus 8", maakte ze voor deze gelegenheid. Vanaf 2011 heeft Karen van haar hobby haar beroep gemaakt. Hieronder heb ik een video geplaatst van de tentoonstelling 2012 in Klamar Slot in Zweden. Informatie over tentoonstellingen vind je op WEBSITE van KAREN BIT VEJLE. Voor PORSGRUND PORSELEINFABRIEK ontwierp Karen het servies Zeleste. Voor RØROS TWEED ontwierp ze een plaid met het motief van rozen Kerstornamenten. In Noorwegen is het traditie dat een kind bij de geboorte een deken krijgt die hem of haar begeleidt tot het graf. Karen ontwierp een deken met motieven die geïnspireerd zijn op de symbolen van het geloof en de Nidaros Kathedraal. De deken is 95 x 135 cm en is van 100% Noorse wol.

Hello! My name is Nathanna Érica and I'm an illustrator and paper artist based in São Paulo, Brazil.
I was asked to explain how I make fringed paper flowers. You can find a lot of examples and tutorials on the Web, but since I was asked... Here's a detailed explanation. 1. Cut a paper strip 1 cm (3/8 inches) wide and about 28 cm (11 inches) long, which is the length of a standard paper sheet for A4 or Letter. Make small cuts at every 1-1.5 mm (1/16 inch) across the long edge of the strip. The cuts should be about 8 mm (a bit more than 1/4 inch) deep, you get a fringe with a narrow base. Cut gently to avoid cutting through the strip. Some people use an office clip to limit the cuts. Try cutting this way, you may find it more convenient. 2. Roll the fringe into a tight coil using a quilling tool. 3. Apply a small amount of glue on the end and let it dry. You've got a sort of paper cylinder. 4. Fold the fringe outwards with your fingers. This is only one type of fringed flowers. Let me tell you about another one. 5. For the second type we also make a fringe, and then attach a narrow paper quilling strip (3 mm or 1/8 inch) to its end. The colour of the narrow strip will be the colour of the flower centre. 6. Roll up, starting from the tip of the narrow strip. 7. The narrow strip makes up the centre and the fringe makes up petals. Glue the end and let dry. 8. Peel the petals outwards. The flower is ready. Try varying the width and length of strips, using different colour combinations, find new uses for your flowers. Be creative, good luck!

I've been eager to tell you all about my latest book, Quilling Lowercase Letters, an encore to Quilling Letters. I have been amazed and grateful for your response to it this past year. I've pre-measured every side and curve of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Each number corresponds with a template pattern below. Just like my first book, Pretty Quilled Cards, you won't need a ruler or count a fraction of an inch. Just lay your strip on top, score, snip, and you're ready to fold, then glue. Try quilling the Lowercase Letter a – download the free template. Watch a video showing how to outline and fill the lowercase letter a. I'll be filming more videos for outlining lowercase letters, and will continue to show more project ideas for the uppercase letters. In case you didn’t know, I also offer a free template for the upper case letter A, shown in another video called “Quilling Letter A - How to Outline”. So if you haven’t tried quilling letters yet, what are you waiting for? I hope my book helps you with your next quilling type project – I love hearing about how you've been inspired to try quilling too! Please leave a comment below or any advice you may have to help me improve my next videos. Quilling Lowercase Letters can be purchased in my shop
