How to Make Paper Quilling
It was Saturday morning and it was my friend’s birthday, her name is Putri. I was confused what gift I should give to her. When I went to the Central Library, I found a book titled “Paper quilling”. Paper quilling is art of rolling paper that had known since 17th century. It was found in Europe and it was used by nun to decorate the religius things. I was interested in the book, so, I read it. I thought it was difficult at first. When I tried to make it, it was not as difficult as I thought. Making paper quilling is easy if you follow these steps. First, prepare the equipment. The equipment you need are colored-papers scissor, needle tool, and glue. Second, make the quilling strips. You can make it by yourself. Cut the colored-paper into particular sized paper. You can cut the paper into 1 cm wide each pieces. It depends on the shape you are going to make. The third, roll the paper strip by using needle tool. Keep rolling the paper strip until the whole quilling strip is rolled around the needle tool. Next, pull off the roll. When you have rolled the paper strip, take it off. If you want a loose roll, put it down and let it lax by it self. After that, glue the paper together. You can use stick or toothpick to stick on the glue. Next, pinch the roll into the shape that you want. For example, if you want to make a leaf, just pinch the tip of the roll. Finally, glue all of pieces that you made together and arrange those rolls. As you can see, paper quilling is an easy handy craft that you can make by yourself. Moreover, you can make it as decoration of your room, or as a gift for your friend-as I did.
