The mountain ash with its light clusters is a wonderful Russian beauty, impossible to ignore, especially in the bloom of autumn or winter. There is an interesting belief: a rowan tree planted in front of a house protects the home from bad people. The tree is very slender, delicate, small, but if a strong wind starts, its flexible branches will begin to bend all the way to the ground, but will not break.

Rowan berries begin to ripen when the first yellow leaves appear on the trees. Bitter berries, after their first frost has begun, become much sweeter and more pleasant to taste.

The magnificence of the mountain ash has been understood for a long time. “Rowan berry motifs” were included in the embroidery patterns of needlewomen in the distant past. Shirts, tablecloths, and towels were decorated with bright patterns from the branches of this plant.

In painting on trees, rowan also found its special place: this Khokhloma painting, where only black, gold and red colors are used. They love to make a rowan brush using the origami technique and from corrugated paper; such a craft using the quilling technique looks great.

Materials that will be required for the master class:

• Narrow strips of paper.
• Sharp scissors.
• Regular glue.
• Postcard base (high-quality paper or large cardboard)
• Quilling templates with circles of different sizes.
• Toothpick.

Making a postcard “Rowan” with your own hands, step by step.

• Step first- we make blanks for rowan branches.

It is necessary to cut brown strips of different lengths, then bend them in half. And glue almost the entire strip from the fold, leaving an unfinished section on the side of the fold (on one side of the strip you form a fold, on the other side the ends of the strip “look” in different directions).

Many diagrams depict different stages of creating stripes - future rowan branches and ready-made stripes.

First, you need to make loose rolls from strips of different colors using the quilling technique.

How to create a free roll using our technique.

Take a toothpick or other quilling tool, wind up put a strip on the thing - you get a roll.

Then we need to loosen this roll a little. Take a template with a hole and circles of different diameters and place your roll in the hole. The approximate size of the hole is seventeen mm.

Glue the end of the roll.

How to make a simple eye shape from rolls: to do this, press the ends of the roll from different edges. You will get a simple eye or leaf shape. Glue the leaves into twigs. If you would like to take a full look at this process, read on.

• Step third. We create rowan berries using the quilling technique.

First, we make rolls from red stripes in the same way as we created rolls for rowan leaves: we wrap the paper around a toothpick and glue the end.

• Step fourth.

Create the base and background.

Cut out a circle from cardboard. We crumple the blue paper and cover the circle with it. If desired, the edge of the circle can be zoned with any fall color paint.

• Step fifth.

We make a composition of branches and berries on a circle base.

Let's glue a bunch of rowan berries and branches onto our base. We cut off the excess pieces.

• Step sixth.

We design our postcard with rowan.

Glue the blank with a sprig of rowan onto the base of our postcard. Handmade postcard.

If you want to teach children this handicraft, take a look at our gallery, where the pictures show examples of finished works. This way you can choose which rowan you will make together.

Do-it-yourself panel “Rowan” using quilling technique

From the same details - berries, branches and leaves, made using the quilling technique, together with the children we can create a very bright and magnificent panel. This is a three-dimensional panel and requires the creation of many small elements: berries, leaves, twigs. Therefore, it is very good to create it with a group of children, as a collective interesting work. Or do such work with your family and then present it as a gift for an autumn holiday to a dear person.

Materials that we need for work:

Quilling paper in different colors: orange, yellow, brown, green, and beige;

Sharp scissors, tweezers, wire cutters, toothpicks, regular glue.

Quilling templates, stylish thin wire, brown special paper;

Great mood and plenty of time.

Step-by-step master class

So let's start our Master Class.

1. Let's make rowan berries. Let's glue strips of red color two at a time to each other in considerable quantities.
2. Using a toothpick, twist the strips into tight rolls.
3. You will get many such details.
4. Next, use your fingers to shape them into a convex mold and fill everything with our glue for strength.
5. We are waiting for it to dry completely.
6. Let's make rowan leaves. Using a toothpick, twist the strips of different colors into rolls, unravel them using a template to a diameter of fifteen mm.
7. Let's glue a lot of colored rolls.
8. Let's give them the eye mold.
9. Then we will assemble leaves from seven such parts in a certain sequence.
10. Let's fantasize, let's use our imagination.
11. We will get a lot of beautiful leaves.
12. Then we cut the wire 20 centimeters long.
13. We wrap each wire with a strip of special paper 15 mm wide - we get a cutting.
14. Glue the previously made leaf blanks to the cuttings.
15. Let's return again to the berries. Let's collect them in bunches. To do this, cut strips of brown paper in half.
16. Next, cut them to length.
17. Fold the strip in half and glue its ends to the “berries”, bending them first.
18. Glue the strips one to the other, making a bunch.
19. In order to prevent the bunch from falling apart, we will collect everything in an arc of berries glued together.
20. Using glue, connect the berries to each other. Let's leave everything to dry.
21. Let's start assembling our panel.

If you look at the master class, you will understand that making compositions using the quilling technique is not at all difficult. Try starting with creating a postcard, and then move on to more complex projects. You'll see, you won't even notice how this activity will drag you in.

V. Sibirtsev

Step by step process:

Step 1. Take the tinted paper and cut it into 5 mm strips. (I used a knife, the children used scissors)

Step 2. Take strips of red paper and use a rod to make a tight spiral - berries.

You need to make a bunch of these berries - an arbitrary number.

Step 3. Take orange and green stripes and make leaves. We also wind a tight spiral, remove it from the rod and loosen it a little and flatten it at one end. The size of the leaves should be the same.

You should get about 20 or more of these leaves, depending on how many branches with leaves you want to make.

Step 4. Take corrugated paper, cut strips measuring 4 cm x 10 cm and twist tightly into a spiral.

Step 5. Glue the spirals onto the base, forming a bunch.

Step 6. Glue the berries
Step 7. Take a sheet of green paper and cut it into 8 strips of 5 mm each.

Step 8. Glue together 2 strips, making 4 dense strips.

Step 9. Glue 3 strips of arcs with each other only on top, about 4 cm. The result is a branch for the leaves.

Step 10. Glue the twig to the rowan bunch.

Step 11. Glue the leaves alternating green with orange.

Step 12. On the right side we glue 4 stripes and leaves on it.

Step 13. Frame the work.

Quilling, or paper rolling, is a very difficult way to make crafts. Each detail of the painting is made separately, carefully twisted into a spiral from narrow strips of paper. The individual modules are then combined into an overall picture. They are placed either next to each other or in steps. It turns out

Nowadays this technique of making paintings is very popular. They even make three-dimensional figures, frames for drawings or photographs, design albums, make beads and earrings, and postcards. This method of rolling paper was invented by Mediterranean monks. They trimmed the edges of gilded books. The result was thin gold strips, from which miniatures were then twisted with bird feathers. They were placed for beauty in poor churches. The word quill translated from English means “bird feather”.

In this article we will look at how to make a painting using the Rowan quilling technique. This beautiful tree with clusters of red berries and carved leaves is often used by artists and hand-made craftsmen in their work. Let us also get acquainted with the difficult process of making such an interesting and multi-modular craft.

First, let's introduce the necessary tools for working with quilling strips.

Quilling kit

To work with thin strips you need to have such a set of tools. This includes paper holders. These are metal sticks with a slot in the middle, a template ruler with cut out holes of various diameters, and a comb for twisting the internal elements of the modules.

You will also need scissors, pins, thick PVA glue, and a set of strips of the required colors and widths. They are sold packaged in several colors at once. They come in different widths: from very thin and narrow to wide several centimeters. A ruler will also come in handy. If you just want to try for the first time what kind of art this is, then you can only buy strips and a hook. It can be purchased separately.

Who can do quilling?

This technique is not easy and requires a lot of perseverance and patience. To create, for example, rowan quilling, you need to make a huge number of identical modules. Each branch with leaves has at least 4-5 leaves on each side and one central one at the top. And there can be many such branches. And rowan bunches consist of 15-20 berries. It will take more than one day of work for several hours to create a big picture.

Working on details is monotonous, because many models are absolutely identical in shape and size. Let's look at what the simplest branch looks like. If you are capable of spending many hours a day on such meticulous work, then our article is designed for you.

Quilling - rowan branch

This image consists of berries, a brown twig on which they grow, and green and light green leaves. This three-dimensional image is assembled from several layers. Dark-colored sheets are glued as the first layer, berries and light-colored leaves are placed on top of them as the second layer.

Let's start the rowan quilling master class with twisting the berries. Take a hook and red stripes of the same thickness. You can make several dark orange berries. These will be unripe fruits, and multi-colored elements will add color to the image.

Making berries

The edge of the strip is fixed in the crevice of the hook, we begin to twist the strip around the metal stick. You need to press down on the paper with your finger so that the winding is tight and tight. The strips are not too long, and for such large berries you will need at least three of them. When one strip is wound to the end, the next one is glued to its edge and winding continues.

To ensure that all the berries are the same size, use the template ruler described earlier. A round hole of the required diameter is selected in it, and the workpiece is checked against the template. When the required thickness is reached, then the winding ends, the extra centimeters of the strip are cut off with scissors and the edge is glued to the last turn. The berry is ready. But for rowan quilling you will need a lot of them, so the work continues in the same way so that there are enough berries to realize your creative idea. It all depends on the size of the picture and the number of grapes on it.

How to make leaves?

Making leaves is, on the one hand, a monotonous and monotonous task, since they should all be of the same shape and structure, but, on the other hand, you can diversify the picture by making them multi-colored. For example, for quilling autumn rowan, you can use yellow, green, light and dark orange shades of stripes. To make each leaf multifaceted and bright, several strips of different colors are wound on a hook at once.

The photo shows how rowan quilling is made step by step from three elements. The leaves do not curl as tightly as the berries. After checking with the template, each part is flattened on both sides with your fingers. Only the edges of the sheet are crumpled well, no pressure is applied to the middle. The finished leaves are laid out on the table in the required order. When all the modules are assembled, you can begin to assemble the pieces together.

Explanation for Beginners

Quilling rowan must begin with a drawing. On a piece of paper you need to draw, at least schematically, where the branch will be located, where it is better to place the bunch of berries. Then the background of the future painting is selected. You can place all the modules on a light background of blue or gray sky; bright berries will look beautiful on a dark background.

Berries can be placed not only on a branch, collected in clusters, but also as separate bright accent points throughout the picture, between the green leaves. You can depict just one or two branches with leaves or design a tree branch with leaves. After all, each consists of a branch (a thin strip) and several twisted sheets glued in pairs to the branch, plus a central one at the top.

Assembling the Parts Together

First, the bottom layer of the craft is placed. A thin brown strip is glued to the end part. This is a branch of the tree on which all previously created modules will be placed. Quilling rowan bunches are also placed in multi-layers. The first row is glued by spreading PVA glue on the end of the circle. You can make the berries round and voluminous. To do this, insert a pen cap or just a finger into the middle of the finished element and press it forward a little. The result is a bowl shape. It is turned over so that the extended part looks out, and the part is glued only to the edges of the circle.

The second layer of modules is glued on top of the first, moving it slightly. This way the lower parts will not completely overlap, but will be visually visible.

Decoration of the painting

If your efforts are crowned with success and you get a beautiful picture, then you can frame it and hang it on the wall in the room. It can be standard from a store, or you can also design it using the quilling technique. This can be a regular ornament around the entire perimeter of the frame, or you can continue the rowan theme and add red berries with the same leaves.

Working with quilling strips is difficult, tedious and extremely interesting. So that you do not get tired while doing big beautiful work, you need to give yourself time to rest. It's better to spend more days making it than to get tired and quit. Don't rush, you will succeed.

Beginning craftsmen must first practice making simple elements, collect several types of sheets of different lengths and shapes, learn how to use a comb, and make different flowers. After all, there are a huge number of module options, and you can fantasize and come up with your own. The main thing is to want and start, and then the work will captivate you so much that you won’t notice how you will become a real professional in this art.

You need to start practicing the quilling technique with simple products. Therefore, below is a master class for beginners.

You can use a special tool, or you can use toothpicks. First, cut off the sharp end and make a small cut along the length of the toothpick. You need to insert the tip of the strip into this cut; this will help you quickly twist the spirals.

Tightly wrap the paper around the toothpick.

Now you need to remove the resulting ring from the toothpick, hold it well with your fingers so that it remains tight. To make the petals the same, you can use a ruler like this.

But if there is no such ruler, you can fix it with your fingers and glue the edge of the strip with glue.

The leaf is made in the same way, only after removing it from the toothpick, you need to let it go so that it is free. Glue the edge.

Starting from the middle, squeeze the ring on one side.

Now you need to form a flower. Glue the spirals to the paper with glue.

These simple flowers can be made using the quilling technique.

Quilling: master class on making rowan

What is necessary

• Toothpick or quilling tool;
• Glue;
• Tweezers;
• Strips of colored paper.

Description of work

You need to make 20 orange and red spirals of different sizes and 50 green ones for the leaves.

Quilling: master class on making a butterfly

What is necessary

• Colored paper;
• Glue;
• Scissors;
• Tweezers;
• Awl or toothpick;
• Soft rug;
• Ruler with holes.

In order to get a butterfly like this, look at the description of the work.

Description of work

First you need to draw a sketch and put it on a soft mat. Insert a pin into each vertex of the sketch (marked with red dots in the photo). The beginning is indicated in green. The stripes should be long. This base of the wings is made of strips 90 cm long. This technique is called looping, since you need to make loops, without breaking the strip, from the starting point to the red ones. Glue the end of the strip.

Make the second wing in the same way.

Fill the finished wings with spirals (here they are made of corrugated paper) of a suitable shape.

The finished wing can be covered with a strip of corrugated paper.

The head is a bead. The antennae are strips of corrugated paper. The wings can be decorated with beads.

The quilling master class for beginners is almost complete, all that remains is to make the body and glue the wings and head with mustache to it.

To make the body, you need to cut out an isosceles triangle and twist it into a tube from the base to the top.

This is such an unusual butterfly, you can decorate not only paintings with such butterflies, but even walls in the house.

Rowan with its bright clusters - a real Russian beauty, it is impossible not to notice it, especially in late autumn and winter.
There is such a belief: a rowan planted in front of a house protects it from unkind people. This tree is slender, tender, thin, but if a strong wind blows, its flexible branches bend to the very ground, but do not break.
Rowan berries begin to ripen when the first yellow leaves appear on the trees. Bitter berries become sweeter and tastier after the first frost hits them.
The beauty of the mountain ash began to be understood a very long time ago. “Rowan berry motifs” have long been included in the embroidery patterns of craftswomen. Shirts, tablecloths, and towels were decorated with bright patterns of rowan branches.
Rowan has also found its place in wood painting: this is Khokhloma painting, where only black, gold and red colors are used.
They sing songs about rowan trees and write poems. Dedicated extraordinary poetic lines to mountain ash Gennady Bykov.
October! Autumn is mature
Outside the windows of houses,
A ripe rowan hangs,
Beautiful, no words.

It's green and red,
All in the morning dew,

Happy and clear
Everyone envy her.

Autumn beauty,
She is not afraid of frost,
Stands, shimmers,
With the purple of your braids.

Dear masters and craftswomen!

scissors, tweezers, wire cutters, toothpick, PVA glue;
quilling template, thin copper wire, brown crepe paper;
as well as a good mood and a lot of patience.

So let's get to work.

1. Let's make rowan berries. Glue red strips together in large quantities, two at a time.

2. Using a toothpick, twist the strips into tight rolls.

3. We got a lot of such elements.

4. Now use your fingers to give them a convex shape and fill them with PVA glue for strength.

5. Leave until completely dry.

6. Let's make rowan leaves. Using a toothpick, twist the strips of different colors into rolls, unravel them using a template to a diameter of 15mm.

7. Glue together a lot of colored rolls.

8. Let's give them the shape of an eye.

9. Then we will assemble a piece of paper from seven such elements in the following sequence.

10. Let's get creative and play with colors.

11. We get a lot of beautiful leaves.

12. Next, cut the wire 20 cm long.

13. We wrap each wire with a strip of crepe paper 15 mm wide - we get a stalk.

14. Glue the previously made leaf blanks to the cuttings.

15. Let's return to berries again. Let's collect them in a bunch. To do this, cut strips of brown paper in half.

16. Now let's cut them to length.

17. Fold the strip in half and glue its ends to the “berries”, first bending them.

18. Glue the strips one to the other, getting a bunch.

19. In order to prevent the bunch from falling apart, we will assemble it into an arc of berries glued together.

20. Using PVA glue, connect the berries to each other. Leave until completely dry.

21.

Let's start assembling the panel.

First, let's design the frame.

We will need:

photo frame measuring 30 by 40 cm;
photo of the sky measuring 20 by 30 cm;
A-3 sheet of paper.

22.Draw a window measuring 20 by 30 cm.

23. Cut it out and glue it together with the photo to the base of the frame, insert it into the frame.

24.Glue a bunch of rowan berries to a leaf.

25. Place another leaf on the bunch and twist the wire cuttings.

26.Add another sheet and twist the wires.

27. Next, it is more convenient to assemble on the frame. We again apply a leaf with a bunch of berries, cover it with a leaf on top, and twist everything.

28. Consistently continue to add rowan leaves.

29.The final stage of work - attach the third bunch of berries, cover it with a leaf, twist all the cuttings together, cut off the excess wire using wire cutters.
