How to Create a Quilling Peacock Picture: A Complete Guide from EM ART for Beginners

Introduction

Creating a quilling picture is a unique way to express yourself creatively and produce a beautiful work of art. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make a quilling picture of a peacock using a template and a photo of the completed artwork. We’ll use ready-made quilling strips in blue and green shades to create an impressive, colorful picture.

Required Materials

Before starting, make sure you have the following materials:

• Peacock template – this will help you follow the peacock’s shape.
• Photo of the finished picture – as a reference for the final look.
• Ready-made quilling strips in blue and green shades.
• Quilling tool – used to roll the strips.
• Tweezers – for easier and more precise placement and gluing of the elements.
• Quilling glue.
• Cardstock or base – on which you’ll create your quilling picture.
• Scissors – for trimming the strips.

Step 1: Preparing the Template

You can work directly on the prepared template, but it’s recommended to copy it onto thicker cardstock for a stable base for your artwork.

Step 2: Preparing the Quilling Strips

• Select colors that match the picture of the finished piece.
• Cut the strips to the necessary length. Typically, they are about 30 cm long.

Step 3: Creating the Quilling Elements

• Use the quilling tool to roll the strips into small coils, spirals, and other shapes. Stick to the outline of the template and the elements shown in the attached photo.

Step 4: Placing the Quilling Elements

• Apply a small amount of glue to the bottom of each element or on the template where you’ll place the quilling elements.
• Using tweezers or directly with your hand, place the quilling elements in the designated spots.

Step 5: Finishing the Picture

• Once all elements are in place, check if everything is positioned correctly and make adjustments if needed.
• Ensure the picture is completely dry before moving or framing it.

Creating a quilling picture can be an extremely rewarding process, allowing you to craft something beautiful and unique. Follow these steps and enjoy your new piece of art! You can find all the materials needed for your project in the online store of EM ART.
