What is Quilling?
Paper Quilling Projects are becoming more and more popular and I can see why. These paper projects are absolutely gorgeous. Although they look very detailed, they are pretty easy to do.
Paper Quilling is the art of taking thin strips of paper and bending and twisting them into different shapes, using paper quilling tools to make a paper quill creation.
Just follow the directions and take your time, and you’ll have a beautiful project when you are finished.

Paper Quilling Supplies:
How to Make Your Quilled Heart Frame
Print and cut out the template patterns.
Grab the craft foam board and trace the patterns on it. Use the ruler 
The frame has 3 parts – back, middle and front.
Take the back side of the frame and place it on a flat surface. Stick the middle parts (bottom, left and right) of the frame on the back part.
The longest part among the middle parts will go along the bottom side of the frame’s back side.
Attach the 2 other parts on 2 sides (left and right) of the frame’s back side.
Now carefully attach the front part, making sure to match all 4 sides with the bottom and middle parts.
Grab a bunch of quilling strips
Use the slotted quilling tool 
Press the loose coil on any one side to form a teardrop shape. Apply glue to secure the open end.
Similarly create another teardrop shape by using another strip of the same size and color.
Take the 2 teardrop shape created in the previous step. Glue the shapes side by side to form a basic heart shape.
Similarly create more quilled heart shapes. It takes about 14 quilled heart shapes to fill the frame pattern.
All items ready? Grab the frame and the quilled hearts and let’s decorate the frame!
Start to glue the hearts on the front side of the frame. It helps to start to glue the quilled hearts from one side, and then work your way around the entire frame.
Continue to glue the quilled hearts until the frame is filled.
If you want to fill the small gaps between the quilled hearts you can use small loose coils.
Make the photo frame stand out of craft foam board
Allow the glue to dry. Lay the frame flat until the glue is dried.
The final result is this beautiful, handmade frame. Add a picture to the frame and it is the perfect gift!
I would LOVE to see a picture of yours once you have made it.
