Cookie Cutter Quilling
Very fun! In 2022 Karen-Marie made gingerbread people and other shapes from card stock and decorated them with quilling as if the paper was frosting. I have used my cookie cutters for the outlines. My original shapes were on brown cardstock with white strips of paper. These were Christmas tree ornaments for my grandchildren, string hangers added. Later I expanded to trees, stars, mittens, candy canes, etc., and made a few gingerbread ornaments for me, too.
Most of the small photos below link to larger ones, just click the photos.
| 2023 and 2024 | In 2023 and 2024 I took my project a little further, making bells, candy canes, stars, mittens, and more. I sorted through my cutters and picked out Halloween and Christmas shapes. Simple shapes. |
You can add cardstock or parchment backing to make the shapes sturdier
or to add quilling to the center without support. Read further for more

| Right picture: Credit for the Christmas tree design idea plus her tree form goes to Hanne Olesen (Denmark) and credit to another talented Danish quiller for the beautiful bell idea. Hanne also sells a bell form along with other shapes. She ships to Denmark, Germany and France. Paper und Ideen in Germany sells Hanne's forms and ships to the US (although it is not inexpensive!) This bell is from one of my cookie cutters. |

The ghost is made with 3/8" wide paper and beehive quilling. He is very sturdy. | The bat below is from paper 1/8" wide. |
