Quilling Durga



  Hi friends,


     Happy Navarathri to all.  Durga is a popular form of Hindu goddess. She is the warrior and a fierce form of the protective mother goddess. For details please click the link Durga.
As Navaratri / Dussehra festival has started, I have tried to attempt something unique. I hope you all like it.
I have made a Goddess Durga using quilling.

For this you need:
  • Kg cardboard of desired size
  • Quilling strips of 3 mm dimension ( different colours ).
  • Fevicol
The detailed description is explained below :
  • First you need to draw the outline of the Goddess on a Kg cardboard.
  • Give the outline of the drawing using black colour quilling strip. Take care as to stick the strip on the length side so as to get embossed look and not flat.
  • Then you need to fill the drawing with the basic quilling shapes using different colour quilling strips. 
  • For the eyes and eyebrows I have used black colour quilling strip.
  • For the crown , I have made tight coils of different colours.
  • For the necklace and ears , I have made loose coils of different colours.
Stick all the parts and the quilling Durga is finished. You can also decorate the Goddess with some kundans.


Frame your Goddess and decorate you wall with this beautiful piece of art.
Thanks for your support.

Quilling Door Hanging



Hi friends ,

    I have tried to make something unique using quilling. I have made a quilling door hanging using CDs. I am sure each one of you must be having CDs which are unused. You can use those CDs and make a beautiful door hanging or wall hanging.
For this quilling door hanging , I have used different colours 3 mm quilling strips.
  • Take an unused CD.
  • Draw the design you wish to make
  • Make different shapes using quilling
  • Stick them on the CD
I have used six CDs to complete the door hanging.
The pictures of the CDs ( 1 to 6 ) are shown below:

CD 1 and 2


CD 3 and 4


CD 5 and 6


After decorating all the CDs with the quilling designs, you can stick it to a border and the door hanging is ready. 
Hope you all liked this creativity .
