Quilling Pink Butterfly Tutorial 

Thank you Salma

I am using the glass or the wood from the back of the frame I buy to glue my paper background on it. Yes, only the paper does not work because it will become wavy from the glue and the weight of the quilling pieces.If you have the frame, remove the glass and add solid glue on it, then place your paper on it. This background will remain like this and nor become wavy. If you don´t have a frame, you need a thick cardboard background to keep it from becoming wavy

+vera bates it´s not too big, I used the same size in making this video, but if you want to make a smaller one you can just drag the picture in a word document and make the butterfly smaller.

I just read another comment on what type of paper! I think I may be using too much glue!

Yes, it depends on the quality of the paper, but also of its thickness. I used different types of card stock for the background, but it is very important to attach it to something harder, like on a piece of wood or glass. In the beginning, I did not use anything on the background, but only card stock, and due to the liquid glue would become wavy, so I discovered a good way of gluing it on glass and it keeps the card stock from becoming wavy. You can see how I do it at the beginning of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vsRzbfHQ2oI.html

You may indeed use too much glue, but I think it's the thickness of paper you use, rather than the quantity of glue

Thank you so much for your help! I'm having fun learing!

The most usual paper strips are 3mm wide, but it depends on what type of work you want to do. The width for the strips in this video is 1.25 cm, but it really depends on how you like it, you can use wider or narrower strips if you cut them by hand. If you buy them already precut, you don't have that much variety.

+grabotte I usually create the elements for both wings in the same time. In the video I don´t show it, but when I create a spiral, I create a duplicate for the other wing.

Ayani Art Thank you !

thank you....I am glad to hear that

This is the photo I used and yes I printed it on an A4 paper cliparts.co/cliparts/pTo/dd8/pTodd8XAc.jpg

what card did use to do the quilling work on please

I used 180 gr (65 lb) cardstock glued on the glass of the frame I was using. You can see how I glue it on the glass in this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vsRzbfHQ2oI.html

Audrey D. I don’t remember exactly but I think it was around 10-15 hours

ااااااااااا

+Megan Rodrigues Yes, I make my own strips and I definitely think it is better for several reasons: You have a bigger variety of colors and also you can cut your paper what size you want. It is also cheaper, but for me the most important is the thickness of the paper: I don´t like the precut one because it´s too thin and for the projects I do it´s not good.

+Maitrayee Datta I cut them with a cutter. The paper I use is thicker than the one that comes precut. I use 160 grams (65 lb) paper and the one that comes precut is somewhere around 80-100 grams

+Mel Donovan It is time consuming. It took me a day to make it

+HARRY POTER You are welcome :)

I use the transparent one usually when I make the pieces because it dries fast and I use the white one only when I glue the pieces on the background because it shines when it dries.

Hannah Duggan just do what makes you happy 😃 age doesn’t matter 😍

any 100 gm paper

Sumit Kumar I am originally from Romania, living in US

+firefist15 Yes, I have many ideas in my mind, but my time is very limited. Do you have any idea to suggest me?

Thank you...no I didn't make the bracelet...I bought it

Please give the size of butterfly

You are right, it is not standard copy paper. It is cardstock and you can buy it in craft stores or any hypermarket. You just have to look for a thicker paper (between 160 and 180 grams). I buy my paper in Hobby Lobby and Michael's

I don't, but I don't keep it in direct sunlight and it preserves fine. However you can try to use a sealant...I never tried though in fears of changing the color of the paper
