Craft Essentials, Quilling papers
• Cut a vase shape from patterned card and affix to a white blank using foam pads. Glue a 2cm wide panel of the same card down the edge of the blank, near the bend.
• Wrap an 11cm dark green strip of quilling paper around a round object 1.2cm in diameter, such as a pen lid. Glue the end in place, sliding the coil off the lid. Make eight and gently squeeze each end to form a petal shape.
• Take a 5cm yellow strip and make a tight coil with the quilling tool. Affix this centre to the card and glue the petals around to make a flower
• For the other two flowers, use a round item 1cm in diameter to create smaller petals with two 9cm lengths of light green and yellow paper. Take two 5cm lengths of light green strips and coil with the quilling tool to make the flower centres.
• Secure the two flowers to the card below the bigger bloom. To finish, add a strip of light green paper to each flower for the stalk and tuck the ends into the vase.
