Quilling roses tutorial
























Step 1: First you need a scalloped strip of paper and a quilling pen/tool.
Step 2: Let the end of the scalloped strip of paper slide into the tip of the quilling pen.
Step 3: Roll up the strip on the quilling pen.
Step 4: When the strip is fully rolled you may slide if off the pen.
Step 5: You can let the stripe unravel a little if you want the rose to be a bit loose. Be careful though so it doesn't unravel the whole way.
Step 6: Apply some glue on the end (use a toothpick). Now you have created a quilling rose á la Wiola.  :)

A portion of the rainbow


























Wooden beads - painted with acrylic paint and nail polish. 
I painted the wooden beads with acrylic paint. Then I used a top coat clear nail polish as a final coat to give the beads a shiny look. I brushed some of the beads with a glitter top coat nail polish instead of a clear nail polish.
