Thank you ever so much for all your lovely contributions. You are extremely talented, and for this we are all truly
grateful. May your interest in quilling continue to go from strength to strength.
Introduction
In volume 2 of Quilling Magic, I show you some example projects and patterns. These have all
been kindly sent in by subscribers to my newsletter. Each contributor has granted full
permission for their pattern to be used in my ebook. I would like to thank everyone of you who
has contributed, and tell you that your efforts are truly appreciated.
The quilling patterns cover everything from the basic shapes for making simple cards (which
incidentally the children will love doing) to more advanced designs and even 3 dimensional
structures. The key is to take your time, read the instructions for the pattern, gather your
materials, and work out how many shapes you need of each different variety (if not already
specified in the pattern instructions). Then follow step by step, to create the shapes, then glue
them in to the required design. The photos really do make a huge difference, as you can see
what the final work of art is meant to look like whilst you do your work.

An easy one for kids to do.
Uses 2 or 3 techniques for making a card.
Materials:
For this card, I used 3mm Quilling papers, and scrap paper for the punched flowers.
A card blank. Or use a half sheet of A4 card folded in half, or A4 paper folded in 4 to make card.
Flower punch is a "Carl -Carla Craft" punch, 2.5 cm.
Stamped design from “See-D’s” Clear stamping System. #50503 Thank You Collection
To make each flower.
Punch flower out of scrap paper. Colour to tone or contrast with quilled petals.
Cut 6 x 10 cm lengths of 3mm quilling paper, and roll to a small teardrop shape. Glue ends.
Cut a 6 cm length of a darker colour for the centre. Roll to a tight coil. Glue to hold coil tight.
Glue the tight coil in centre of flower shape, and then put the teardrop shapes around the petals
with pointed ends to the centre coil.
Make as many as needed.
For leaves cut 6 x 10 cm strips of 3mm paper and loosely roll one end. If shorter leaves
required then fold one piece in half and roll for both ends towards centre.
When all parts made ready, then set on card and glue in place. Make sure to glue edges of
leaves for them to stand up .

For this pattern, you'll
need:
.
Quilling board
Quilling needle or slotted
tool Pins
Waxed paper Tacky Glue
1/8" Quilling paper in:
Blue
Pink
White
Cocoa
Lt. Green
Dk. Green
Yellow
Crimson
Instructions
To make the vase, fill the pattern with 3" marquises; line the outside first, using
irregular shaped marquises where needed, and then fill in the center. Let the vase
dry, and then cut a 1.5" strip of crimson paper, position and glue across the neck of
the vase for the ribbon. The bow is made with a 6" strip of red paper. Follow the
guide to fold properly, then glue into place.
To create the daisies, use 10 3" teardrops for the
small flower, 9 4" teardrops for the large flower, 5
3" teardrops for the large bud, and one
3” teardrop for the small bud. Follow the
pattern to assemble; the large bud had two
layers - 3 teardrops on bottom and two
centered on top. The centers of the daisies
should be made with a 3" yellow grape roll
for the small flower and a
3” yellow grape roll for the larger flower.
Two 4" light green grape rolls are used for
the calyxes on the buds, glue to the
bottom of each bud, then use two 1.5"
spirals to make their stems.
For the three sprays, cut 3 2" strips of cocoa paper and trim ends into points. Make
11 white 3" pegs and position as shown. The leaves are all made with 3" light
green or dark green marquises. Fill in the patterns provided.
Assembly
Glue finished vase to background. Overlap large flower over smaller one as
shown and center just above mouth of vase. Position both dark green leaves,
large overlapping small, and adhere to background on top of vase. Add large
light green leaf so it lies on top of the dark green leaves and the edge of the
smaller flower; glue. Put the small bud underneath the dark green leaves and
glue in place; the large bud stems out from under the small flower. Position
the small green leaf between the large bud and flowers. Finally, add 2 sprays
from the large flower, and one from the large light green leaf to balance the
design. Add punched leaves of desired shape if you wish, to fill out your
bouquet.

Now, in case you missed the earlier patterns we gave you a few days ago, here they are
repeated again for your convenience. Happy Quilling! Claire and Christine
11
Sea Life
You will need a quilling tool, pastel blue paper (11 cm x 16 cm(, olive green quilling
paper (4 mm, 3 mm), and quilling paper in the following colors: purple, rust,
turquoise, burnt orange, olive green, flesh, dark green, pale green, salmon, and black.
You will also need craft adhesive and a card mount.
Making the Card
The background paper is hand marbled to give a swirling sea effect, using white paint.
If you do not want to do the marbling on your own, use a pastel blue paper instead.
Insert the blue paper between the two folds of the card, behind the aperture, and glue
the two folds together. To provide special effects to the weeds, use a fine crimping
tool, or use a ribbler if you wish to make the weeds look coarser.
Eyes
12
Take the quilling tool and roll the black paper tightly around it for three turns. Glue
the end, and then remove from the tool. Refer to the image below to see how the eyes
will look after being removed from the tool. You will need six eyes in all.
Fish
You will need two pieces of rust paper and salmon paper, quarter lengths. Using the
quilling tool, make a loose coil and glue the end. Next, pinch one end to form shape
shown below.
Take a 15 mm strip of rust paper and salmon paper, and then cut a 'V' on one end of
each strip, as shown in the illustration below. Take the body of the fish and glue an
eye and tail on it, as shown.
13
Crabs
Take two quarter lengths of flesh colored paper. Using the quilling tool, make two
loose coils and glue the end. Flatten one side to form a semi circular shape, as shown
in the following illustration. Join two flat sides of the semi circular shapes with glue,
as shown in the illustration below. To create eyes, make a tight peg on the quilling
tool with black paper. Cut the peg in half and paste on the upper half of the crab’s
body. Take the flesh colored paper of two 2 cm lengths and crimp them. Fold each in
half, lengthwise, and then paste them on each side of the crab to form legs.
Octopi
Make two rolls of half-length purple paper with a loose coil. Glue then ends, and then
flatten one of the sides, as shown. With the help of the crimping tool, crimp the purple
paper and cut 5 cm lengths to make the legs. Paste the legs on the lower part of body,
varying the lengths, as shown.
14
Sea Weed and Pebbles
Make loose coils from quarter lengths of paper: four-turquoise, three-burnt orange,
two-pale green, two-olive green, and two-dark green. Shape three dark green coils,
pinching both sides. Pinch each side of the remaining coils, while simultaneously
pushing the ends towards each other.
To make a 3 cm tall loop, fold the paper into a long loop. Glue the ends to make a
shorter loop on one side. Glue the fish, crabs, and octopi on the card.
Make Sea Weeds using green paper and form four coils (two in light green and two in
olive green). Glue them on the card. Glue loose pebbles and plants on the sea bed.
Cut lengths of crimped olive green paper, and taper the top end of each piece. These
will serve as flowing weeds. Glue them on the card.
15
Violets and Snowdrops
The material that you will require is 3 mm quilling paper of colors dark pink, dark
yellow, green and violet, 1.5 mm quilling paper of colors dark pink, green, light green
and white. You may also need a quilling too, tracing paper, masking tape, cork tile or
fiber-board, long pins, marbled background paper, and a Card mount.
Making the Card
Place the marbled paper between the folds of the card so that it is visible through the
aperture. Glue the card closed.
The ‘Husking’ method is used for making petals. The illustration below shows how
the husking method works. There is a different type of layout for different types of
flowers.
16
Take the tracing paper, place it on the pattern and mark the dots on it with a pencil.
Place the tracing paper on the cork tile and tape it to position. Insert the pins partly
through the dots and wind the strips of paper around them, as shown in the above
illustration. All the windings are shown larger than actual size for clarity.
Make three of these. Use 1.5 mm dark pink paper to make three six-petal flowers. To
finish the flower wind the paper around it to end right at the bottom. Glue the end as
shown in the above illustration. With the help of the quilling tool, roll a % length of 3
mm dark pink strip into a peg, glue the end so that it does not unroll, and remove from
the tool. Push the centre to form a cone and glue the inside to retain its shape. See
illustration below.
17
Violets
Make four of these. Use ¼ length of 3 mm violet strip and make four loose coils.
Wind the paper on to the quilling tool, remove it and let it unwind a little, and then
glue the end. Pinch one end on two coils to form teardrop shapes, and pinch both ends
of the two remaining coils to make eye shapes.
Tall Leaves
You will need four tall leaves. Make leaves of differing lengths between 4 and 6 cm.
Take the 3 mm green paper and form a loop of about 1 cm length at one end, and glue
as shown below. Insert pins in the cork tile in a straight line and continue to form
loops as shown. Glue the end at the bottom along with all other strips that join at the
bottom.
Insert pins on the cork tile as per the pattern shown below. Take the green 3 mm strip
and work it around the pins as illustrated. When done, finally wind the strip around
the formation and glue end at the top. Pinch the top slightly.
18
Take the green strip, make a tight peg with the help of the quilling tool and glue the
end. This will be your flower center. Next, take the four petals and glue them around
the flower center in the formation illustrated below. Glue the green petal accordingly.
Base Leaves
Make 7 of these. Take the 3 mm green paper and form loose coils as described
previously. Pinch both the ends of the coil and twist a little to give it proper shape.
Make the leaves and stems of varying lengths by folding the paper into half and
gluing them. This provides hardness to the leaves.
Snow Drops
Make four of these. Use 1.5 mm white quilling paper and pin the layout below. Wind
the petals in the direction as illustrated. Glue the end at the top. Take out the pins and
pinch at the point shown.
19
Double Leaves
Make 2 of these. Use ¼ lengths of 3 mm green paper, make loose coil on the quilling
tool. To form a teardrop, pinch one end and flatten one of the sides. Glue the flattened
sides together to form double leaves.
Stem and Thin Leaves
Take the 3 mm green strips of paper, fold in half and glue them together. Snip off one
of the ends diagonally, as shown.
Start gluing the pieces onto the card in two stages. Pieces are glued flat on the card
(see picture to guide you). To begin with place the snowdrops and then place the tall
leaves inside the aperture. Trim the stems to the length you feel is proper. Finally, add
leaves and flowers. Glue all the remaining pieces partially or fully on top of those
placed earlier, beginning with daffodil violets and their stems and base leaves.

21
Primrose Card
You will require quilling paper – 3 mm lilac, red, pale blue, green and very pale pink,
5 mm white quilling paper. You will also need a green Parch Marque paper 10 cm x
14 cm in size, a pen and pearlised lilac ink, a card mount, and crimper.
Making the card
Using pearlised ink, one can write a quotation on the background. If your handwriting
is not so good, then make use of other alternatives. If you are using a computer,
22
choose a text color to match with the card and take a printout. Place the paper
between the flaps of the card, behind the aperture, and glue it and the flaps of the card
as well.
Two Lilac flowers
Create seven petals from the lilac paper, as per instructions given for the daffodil
petals. Take a 5 mm length of white quilling paper and fringe ¼ length of it. Add it to
the 1/8 length of red paper. Take the quilling tool, roll a peg of red paper on it, and
paste its end, before removing from the tool. Pin on to board and around the fringe
center paste all the seven petals evenly, as shown.
Three Bellflowers
Take ¼ length of the red paper, wind it tightly around the quilling tool and paste its
end. Give it a cone shape by pushing a little through the center. The length of the cone
should be approximately 1 cm. Spread glue on the inner side and let it dry.
Two Red Flowers
Take a red paper and cut out five petals from it, like the lilac petals. However, these
petals are a little short and round than the daffodil petals. For accurate positioning of
the pins, consult the picture given below. Take the red and pale pink papers and neatly
fringe 1/8 length of them. On the quilling tool, roll them and paste the end, before
removing from the tool. Attach on the board with the help of pins and paste all the
five petals around it.
Now, create a flower with an extra fringe.
23
Eight large leaves and four small leaves
Take a green paper of % lengths for large leaves and to make small leaves, ¼ lengths.
Now, start making a loose coil and paste its end.
Pinch both the ends of the coil and twist it slightly. To create a border and curved
leaves, paste pale green paper on the back of a very pale lilac and let it dry. Use
crimper on it, if you have not yet cut it. Otherwise, you can use it straight, if there is
no crimper. On the inner side of the edge of the aperture, put a very thin line of glue
and onto its edge paste the border. If possible, use tweezers for holding it. Referring to
the picture, paste all the pieces onto the card and place the flowers and leaves in their
respective positions.
