Valentine quilling

By Jean Scobie-Parker

This lacy paper keepsake will show how much you care.
Make a special Valentine card and scroll

Heart scroll: Fold strip in half. Roll ends inward toward the centre crease forming a heart shape (Diagram 4). Do not glue. Simply reverse the direction of the coils to form a V scroll (Diagram 5).

S scroll: Loosely roll one end of strip toward the centre then roll the other end toward the centre in the reverse direction forming an S shape (Diagram 6). Do not glue. To form a C scroll, roll both ends of strip toward the centre (Diagram 7).

3. Trace pattern outline onto tracing paper or design your own pattern on paper. Tape tracing to cardboard and cover with waxed paper. Tape in place. Assemble all the coils and scrolls needed for the project. You may find it helpful to organize them in the compartments of a muffin tin. Using tweezers, arrange each quilled piece on the waxed paper following the design underneath. Use a toothpick to dab a tiny dot of glue on sides of pieces at points where they touch each other. Hold design in place with quilt pins stuck into the cardboard. When glue is dry, remove pins, spray design with sealer if desired. Glue design to project.
