 Hi friends ,

This is another type of quilling key chain. As the name suggests it is in the shape of a hut.
  
Hut key chain:  This is divided into two parts :

  Upper part -
  • Make a tight coil using 6 quilling strips of 3 mm dimension. I have used purple colour . You can use any colour of your choice. 
  • Make a cone shape using the jhumka mould.
  • Apply fevicol on the inner and outer parts of the coil.
     
  Lower part -
  • Make a tight coil using 3 quilling strips of 3mm dimension. Pick any colour of your choice. I have used light yellow colour.
  • Make three such coils and attach one above the other.
Attach the lower part with the upper part. Insert a head pin from the bottom till the top of the hut. Make a small loop.
Insert the key chain in the loop.
You can decorate the quilling hut with door and window.

Quilling Doll House



Hi friends ,

In this post I am showing you something very unique and different. I have made a doll house using quilling. This house includes a small house , a car , some trees , bushes , flower pots , a water pond and lot more. I will explain the steps in detail..


  • First you need to take a thick cardboard for the base. 
  • Cut it into a square / rectangle shape as per your requirement.
  • Using ice cream sticks you can make the fence for the house.
House :
  • Make four coils using  20 skin colour 10 mm quilling strips.
  • Attach them one above the other. 
  • For the roof , make a cone using 10 blue colour 5 mm quilling strips.
  • Attach the roof to the base of the house.
  • Make the door and the window .
  • Decorate the house as per your choice. 

Pond :
  • Make a border using blue colour crimped 5 mm quilling strip.
  • Cut small strips and stick them onto the pond.
Tree :

  • Make a tree trunk  by making a long cone using 2 brown colour 10 mm quilling strips.
  • Make the leaves by making green colour cresent shape coils.
  • Attach the leaves to the tree trunk.
  • Make two flower pots.

 Car :
  • Make a loose square coil using one red colour 5 mm quilling strip.
  • Make one more loose square coil using two red colour 5 mm quilling strips. Attach both the coils.
  • Make the wheels by making tight coils using one black colour 5 mm quilling strip.

Bushes :
    • Make fringed flowers using one green colour 10 mm quilling strips.
    • Make as many you want to decorate the garden.
    Once you make all these , you can stick them onto the cardboard and complete your house. And of course the house is incomplete without the doll. Place the doll near the house and your quilling doll house is ready.
