Year of the Snake Quillling
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Holiday, Traditional, Mod


Materials

quilling paper, glue, Silhouette die cutter

What was your inspiration?

I was supplied art direction from an ad agency.

What are you most proud of?

This is my largest work so far with the snake width spanning 7.5". I like how I transitioned the colors on the snake, adding green to represent the iridescent nature of snake skin.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I used regular quilling paper for the words because the spaces were so thin. I cut Canson Mi-Tientes paper for everything else because the extra thickness was needed to traverse a larger distance and hold its shape.
