A Quilled Poinsettia Ornament

I decided on a whim to buy a styrofoam form while checking out our new Hobby Lobby store that just opened. I had wanted to make a quilled ornament ball for a while, but didn’t want to make just a regular ball. Here was the perfect solution!

I started out by making my poinsettia first and pinning it onto the foam shape. Then I started with the gold edging around the side.

Once I had the edging and poinsettia in place, I could fill in with the white beehive technique.

Once I finished the first side, then I started the opposite side.

It took somewhere between 5-6 hrs to complete, but I must say well worth the time and experimentation to make!

Hope you enjoy!

Here you can see how the paper is crimped... So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now. Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing! Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments. This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it. Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about. Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament. She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool. Here I've shaped them into squares... It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
