Creating Fringed Flowers

Start by cutting a strip of paper into thin fringes, leaving a small portion uncut at one side. Roll the uncut side using your quilling tool, then gently spread out the fringes to form a flower. Glue the end to secure the flower.

Husking Technique

Husking involves wrapping paper strips around pins or nails fixed on a board. Start by fixing pins in your desired shape on the board. Wrap the paper strip around the pins, adjusting the shape as needed. Once satisfied, glue the ends to secure the shape.
