Quilled Rakhis

Time to celebrate and cherish the bond of brothers and sisters and my daughter decided to make rakhis for her brothers by herself. She loved doing it and her brothers loved it. Anything done with love even though it is small and simple is definitely cherished by the receiver.

Quilled chocolate hangings

Who don't love chocolates and that too kids love it so much. A few of the quilled creations can be converted as and how we want them to be. They could be made as a hanging, a magnet, a key chain, pencil topper or just a mobile dangler. These are versatile designs and one such design is quilled chocolate.


Quilled parrot hangings

Kids get happy when they see the birds and animals. One of the favourite is parrot. So when my friend asked me to make a pair of parrot ear rings for her grand neice, I just tried to replicate it as much as possible.

Mice pencil topper for kids

Kids love small embellishments to be attached to their pencil back or pens. These make a wonderful return gifts too. The first one that I tried was mice toppers. they were so cute and my son grabbed them immediately one for him and and for two of his friends.


Trial of curtain holder

When there is flexibility for creativity, you can do anything in quilling is what I learnt after doing it for almost an year. A simple but useful piece of work in quilling is the curtain holder. But it also looks grand and elegant when it is matched aptly with the curtains.

Made two for my parent's home one with a flower and the other with a butterfly. To make the ring I used the biggest available size bangle and 10mm strips was wrapped around the bangle to make the curtain ring.

Quilled envelopes

Though I have not done a lot of quilled envelopes I did try a few designs and have gifted them too. The ones that I was able to capture a picture are the ones below. I am waiting to try my hands on ornate quilling on envelopes. Hope I get a chance to do soon.
