                  Hello friends, what to do say when you see a beautiful flower ? Wow !!!!! Flowers are indeed very beautiful and lovely.  Flowers when made using different color quilling paper looks even more attractive. These paper flowers are long lasting and also looks very natural.  You can create beautiful paper flowers with the basic quilling materials to decorate your place. There are a variety of flowers you can make using quilling very easily. I have divided them into three sections :

• Quilling shapes flowers
• Fringed flowers
• Quilling comb flowers

In this article I will explain how to make different types of quilling shapes flowers. These flowers are made just by using the simple basic quilling shapes like tear drop , marquise , petal etc. Most of these flowers are made using 3 mm quilling strip. You can make your own patterns and combinations of these flowers and decorate your quilled greeting cards , photo frames , gift boxes , bags and a lot more.

For one petal I have used one quilling strip , you can attach more number of strips based on your flower size.  Stick the petals to the center of the flower as shown in the picture. Your beautiful flower is ready.

 Once done you can use it to decorate your quilled cards , photo frames etc.  In tear drop you can also attach two colors for the petals and make a flower like this  :
