Quilling snowflakes - a master class for beginners
To create one snowflake, we need:
- a device for twisting paper;
- glue;
- paper strips of the following sizes: 15 cm - 5 pcs., 7.5 cm - 12 pcs., 5 cm - 4 pcs.
Progress:
1. Do the middle. To do this, insert the tip of the 15-centimeter strip into the notch of the quilling device. We twist the not very tight roll. In order to fix the tip, you can drop a little glue on it.

2. A similar roll can become the basis for the drop-shaped elements for a snowflake, but then the tail does not need to be glued, but, on the contrary, left free. To create drop-like rolls, you need to use 7.5 cm stripes. The middle of the projected sati should be compressed with fingers, forming a fold, after which you can fix the free end of the strip.

3. From 5-centimeter stripes we make a droplet with bends on both sides.
4. Then we make curls. 15-centimeter stripes are folded in half, and then the ends on both sides are twisted to the middle. The elements are in the form of a heart.
5. The last details are done this way: the ends of the 7.5-centimeter stripes are twisted to the middle. Then two strips should be glued together with curls in the sides.

6. In the end, we should get:
- one round center;
- 4 drops;
- 4 half-drops;
- 4 hearts;
- 4 strips with bifurcated curls.
