Hello my lovely readers Welcome back after the festive week. Last week was so busy with all the preparations for Rakshabandhan and celebratory mood that it took me a while to post a new blogpost. I have done few wedding invites in quilling and this one was for my college friend. I received a customized order for a handmade wedding card from Preksha. She wanted me to design a card with quilling to be given to Ankur's family. So, I made a quick card with the details requested by her. Here's how the card looked at final step.

Today's post is about my favorite  technique in quilling known as  Fringing!  It’s a simple technique without requiring much of tools. I t is easy and inexpensive since it can be made from just one strip. There are tools available for making fringes. They are called quilling paper fringers. I do not have a fringer so I fringe the paper by hand with a pair of scissors. Once you get used to fringing with hand you will not require any tool for the purpose.  In my free time I fringe strips of various colors and roll them as and when needed for projects. It does take a long time initially but with practice you can get to do 2 strips in one go. Try cutting your own width of strip to practice making flowers. One can use paper clip to not overcut the strip and keep margins. For a detailed post about the fringing tutorial  refer to Inna's blog . She has explained the conce...
