Wax paper makes a serviceable Quilling Classes in Chennai cover sheet for your work board. It is handy and certainly cheap enough, however, if too much glue is used and the quillwork is accidentally glued to the wax paper, the wax may come up with the design when it's removed. I prefer to use clear plastic sheets cut from scrap (think old office sheet protectors and transparencies) or recycled plastic packaging. Even heavy-duty food baggies will work. You can either pin the work board cover in place, or wrap it around and tape it to the back. To use, simply slip your quilling pattern underneath the cover sheet (plastic or wax paper), pin it in place, and assemble your quilled masterpiece over the pattern.
For symmetrical work, a design guide can be created from a piece of graph paper cut to fit your quilling work board. Count the squares horizontally and vertically to find the center point of your graph paper. Using a ruler and black pen or fine-tip marker, draw a vertical and horizontal line that cuts through the center point to divide your graph paper into fourths. http://www.chennaibizbook.com/quilling-classes-in-chennai/ This will give you 90 degree angles. Next, using the lines of the graph paper as your guide, draw an "X" on the paper that runs through the center point and bisects the quarters. This will give you 45 degree angles. Continue to draw lines running through the center point to divide your paper into as many sections as needed for your pattern. Circles can be added to the guide with the aid of a compass or circle template. Be sure to center the circles on your guide using the intersection point of the lines as the center of the circles. |
