Quilled Art Work
I made this simple Quilled flower arrangement as a gift to one of my friends. I don't purchase quilled strips but cut them from colored copy paper. I used 1/8" wide strips of paper to create flowers and wide strips of paper for leaves.

You will need:

Take a White Card stock, score and fold the card in half. Start by Quilling basic square with colored quilling paper and glue it to card as per your design.

Recycled Magazine Vase
Hello Everyone!
This is my First Post! I thought to start with something environmentally friendly.
I was browsing to get some inspiration on crafts and I stumbled upon a Magazine Vase! I instantly loved it, so I tried my version of a Magazine Vase. I made it by using a single magazine and of-course this may be defer according to the size of the vase.
You will need:
Start with separating pages from the magazine. Fold each page into inch wide strips of paper and glue the ends to keep its shape. I would recommend using thin magazine pages as they would be easier to roll, but if you have thick magazine page like i do then cut the page into half.
Once these are made, take a folded strip of paper and apply decoupage glue along the center of the strip and start rolling in to a tight coil. Continue the same process till u get your base for the Vase. Now start adding each strip to the base with glue. Make sure that half the width of the strip is attached to the base and the other half will be used to build the body of the vase. Continue this process by adding the strips in the same manner.
If u want to narrow the width of the vase, add strips to the inside of the vase and continue and there u have it! A beautiful Magazine Vase.
