How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials:
To make a seahorse, you will need:
- A printable seahorse template
- Thick colored paper sheets (300 g/m²)
- Quilling paper strips
- An electric quilling tool
- Quilling glue
- A mobile eye Ø 1.8 cm
- A black marker
- A pair of scissors
- A quilling board
Step 1:
To begin, print our free seahorse template by clicking here.
Then cut out the shape from a sheet of colored thick paper.
Step 2:
Place the end of a special quilling paper strip in the slot of the metal tip of the roller.
Step 3:
While keeping the paper strip in place, press the button to activate the winder.
Thanks to this very handy accessory, the paper strip winds up in just a second!
Step 4:
Place a dot of quilling glue at the end of the strip to "close" the roll and allow it to maintain its shape.
Tip: You can also place the paper rolls on our quilling board to let them take the shapes of the selected circles before applying the glue.
Step 5:
Then glue it onto the seahorse shape with quilling glue.
Step 6:
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 by sticking about 9 rolls on the belly and 6 on the head.
Step 7:
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, flattening the roll this time to give it a different shape.
Step 8:
Then glue it with quilling glue to form its fin.
Step 9:
Then glue a mobile eye Ø 1.8 cm.
Step 10:
And finally, using a black marker, draw a mouth.
You can also draw eyelashes to emphasize the cute side of this creation!
