Supplies:

Floral Quilling Paper Art

Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry
Beacon Adhesives Multi-Purpose Adhesive Spray
Colored Paper
Glitter
Canvas
Paper Straw
Scissors

Instructions:

Step 1: Pick out the colors you want to use for your flowers.  Cut 1/4″ strips of paper starting on the long side of the cardstock.

Step 2: Insert the tip of the scissor in the paper straw and make a tiny cut.  The cut should be about 1/4″.

Step 3: Insert the end of one strip and roll it around the straw.  Once you reach the end, apply a dot of Zip Dry and hold it in place until the glue sets.  Carefully slide the roll off the straw.  Repeat for all of the remaining strips.

Step 4: To create different styles, instead of gluing the end, pull it off the straw and let it unravel slightly.  Glue the end to create loose spiral rolls using your Zip Dry.

Step 5: Spray the canvas with the Multi-Purpose Adhesive Spray and sprinkle some glitter.

Step 6: Let dry and then glue your floral design onto the canvas with Zip Dry.
