Supplies:

Quilling paper strips
Craft paper
Scissors
Slotted quilling tool
Craft glue
Cardstock
Pencil
 

Instructions:

Take a quilling strip of your desired colour.

The length of the strip depends on the size of the hot air balloon’s heart shape.

This strip is 5 inches long.

Use the quilling tool to roll the strip into a quilled coil.

Make sure the coil is tight.

Similarly, make more colourful coils.

Cut out the heart shape using the template.

Start glueing the quilled coils on the border of the heart shape.

Glue quilled coils all around the heart’s border.

Now make two loose coils and glue them inside the heart shape.

Fill up the heart shape by glueing one more loose coil inside the heart.

Cut out the hot air balloon’s basket from the template.

Make a brown (the basket’s colour) loose coil and glue it on the top corner of the basket.

Fill up the basket with more brown loose coils.

First, prepare your card.

Then glue the quilted heart on the top side of the card.

Then leave a 3-centimetre gap and then glue the basket on the bottom side of the card.

Take a black (or any coloured) quilling strip and glue it on the side of the heart to the side of the basket.

Similarly, glue two more strips, one on the middle and one on the other side.
