Ice Cream Party


Hello Friends,


Friends !! want to have some ice creams in this hot summer? Here are some delicious ice cream flavours for you.
This post is for my entry for #IQCG 70



First let us learn how to make the quilling table:
  •  Base - Make a tight coil using 30 quilling strips ( 5 mm ). I have used green and yellow colours          alternatively.
  • Legs - Make a cone using single yellow colour quilling strip ( 10 mm ). Make three such cones for the legs.



Here are five flavours of ice cream which I have made using quilling. Let me show you:

1. Mango and Strawberry Scoop:

  • Cup - Make a cone shape by making a tight coil ( 5 mm ) using 5 quilling strips . Make another cone and place it upside down. Refer picture . I have used blue colour for the cup.
  • Scoops - Make a small cone using 2 quilling strips ( 3 mm ) . I have made two colours ( yellow and pink ). Make the choco stick using cream colour quilling strip.


2. Cone ice cream:
  • Lower Part - Make a long cone using single quilling strip ( 10 mm ) . I have used cream colour.
  • Upper Part -  Make a short cone using two quilling strips ( 5 mm ) . I have used orange colour. Make a tight coil using single red colour quilling strip ( 3mm ) for the cherry.

3. Chocolate cup ice cream :

  • Lower Part - Make a cup shape by rolling 7 quilling strips ( 5 mm ) . I have used white colour quilling strip.
  • Upper Part - Make a cone shape by rolling 7 quilling strips ( 5 mm ) . I have used brown  colour quilling strip. Cut some white pieces and stick on the chocolate part . 

4. Gadbad ice cream:

  • Make a tight coil using 2 quilling strips ( 3 mm ). You can choose the colours of your ice cream . Make 5 such tight coils . I have used white , peach and pink colour .
  • For the top part you need to make a cone shape.  Make a cherry for decoration. 
  • Take sketch pens and draw some dots on the coils which looks like tuity fruity.
  • I have wrapped a plastic sheet to make it look real. 


5. Bar ice cream:

  • Make a tight coil using three quilling strips ( 5 mm ) . Do not stick fevicol at the end , leave it loose and give it a bell shape. 
  • Make two such coils ( Yellow and brown ). 
  • Stick a cream colour strip for the ice cream stick.



I have made three quilling dolls and arranged them near the ice cream table.
As you can see one doll is holding a choco bar ice cream. All are enjoying the party.
Come and join us.
Hope you all like it.

Quilling Floral Art

Dear Friends,



I made this unique Floral Art for a  very special occasion. For my parents Anniversary. As you can see,  I have tried to quill some tulip flowers.
First you need to draw the design on a white cardboard , after that you have to colour it. You can choose your own colour  combination. I have coloured green for the leaves . For the flowers , I have choosen 7 different colours. You can either use crayons or colour pencils.



Then you need to select the quilling strip which matches with the coloured flower. I have used 5 mm quilling strips for this.
Place the quilling strip in a vertical manner .
Make sure you stick the strips only for the outline of the flower. You should not fill up the whole flower. Refer to the picture.



I have  made a cardboard frame ( white colour ) for my beautiful Art work. You can  add designs to your frame as well.
I hope you liked it.
