May 9 is not just a holiday, it is one of the great days, revered not only in Russia, but also in many other countries of the world affected by the invaders. Victory Day is a holiday that is important for every family and every citizen. It is difficult to find a person who would not be touched in any way by a terrible war that claimed the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians. This date will never be erased from history, it will remain forever in the calendar, and will always remind you of those terrible events and the great defeat of the fascist troops, which ended hell.
The first ever Victory Day was celebrated in 1945. Exactly at 6 am, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on designating May 9 as Victory Day and assigning it the status of a day off was solemnly read out over all loudspeakers of the country. That evening, the Victory Salute was given in Moscow - a grandiose spectacle for those times - thousands of anti-aircraft guns fired 30 victorious volleys. The streets of the cities on the day the war ended were filled with jubilant people. They had fun, sang songs, embraced each other, kissed and cried with happiness and pain for those who did not live to see this long-awaited event.
Quilling (English quilling - from the word quill "bird feather") is the art of making flat or voluminous compositions from long and narrow strips of paper twisted into spirals. The finished spirals are given various shapes and thus paper rolling elements, also called modules, are obtained. Already they are the "building" material in the creation of works - paintings, postcards, albums, photo frames, various figurines, watches, jewelry, etc.
A bit from the history of quilling... The art of paper rolling originated at the end of the 14th - beginning of the 15th centuries in Mediterranean Europe. It is believed that quilling was invented by monks. Cutting off the gilded edges of the books, they wound them around the tips of bird feathers, hence the name (quill - translated from English as “bird feather”), which created an imitation of a golden miniature (especially often used in poor churches). In Russia, this art became popular only at the end of the 20th century, and quilling is also very popular in Germany and England.
What tools are needed for quilling? Quilling tools are the most seemingly ordinary items: a quilling tool, scissors, a ruler, a pencil, PVA glue and, of course, paper. The paper is long strips from 1.5 to 10 millimeters wide in a variety of colors.
Basic Quilling Techniques All the secrets and techniques for obtaining a wide variety of shapes used in quilling, from fantasy to strictly geometric, almost always start with simple circular shapes. This dense circle twisted from a strip of paper is called a roll, and the main forms of quilling elements are already made from rolls. Here are some of the most commonly encountered when working in this technique. Basic Shapes: Initial Roll

A selection of videos on the topic of the article
We offer you to watch a video with master classes on the topic of making postcards in different techniques to Victory Day.
The Defender of the Fatherland Day holiday is one of the most famous in our country and for good reason. After all, many people suffered, died and fought for victory over the fascist invaders in the period Great Patriotic War. You can pay tribute to the past in different ways, but most best solution in this case will be art. It is this that enables the greatest and most powerful nations to live and prosper. Therefore, quilling postcards for May 9 is your contribution to the creativity fund of the whole country. Making such a postcard, as it turns out, is not at all difficult. Even an ordinary amateur can cope with such work. In this application we will try to convey victory day symbol- scarlet carnations with a red star! How is a quilling card with a carnation for May 9 created?
So, we need the following materials:
- Cardboard A5 (Blue color, yellow color)
- Strips for working with quilling (width - 5 mm, length - 40 centimeters)
- PVA glue with dispenser
- Quilling board or ruler with diameter
- Ordinary scissors
- Curly scissors
- Toothpick or quilling device
- Ruler
The basis
Perhaps this is enough to independently draw up beautiful postcard. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the background of the postcard, on which our flower will be located. To do this, take curly scissors and cut off the edges on yellow cardboard A5. Next, prepare the inner background using blue A5 cardboard. To do this, we make the contour of a rectangle and cut out the relief edges with curly scissors. Then, using glue, we fasten the base yellow color with a blue background, the second one is slightly rotated (angle 75 degrees).
Modules
Next, we work on the composition and twist the necessary elements for it. It is very easy to do this. You need to take a quilling tool or pick up a toothpick, cut off the sharp edge and make an incision in the middle of the trunk by 5-7 mm inside. Next, the end of one of the pieces of paper is inserted and twisted into a tight roll. We get a tight roll. Next, we dissolve the spiral, and then, at the free end, we drip glue and glue the composition. In this way, you can do a large number of different circles. In our case, there will be 16 red, 5 orange, 7 green, which will be needed for work. If you want to make the circles the same in diameter, use a ruler with grooves or a quilling board.
petals for carnations
Next, we prepare the petals for the future carnation. In this case, the spirals must be pressed down on one side, and bent inward on the other. Thus, we form special leaflets. Petals are even easier to make. It is enough to make exactly the same blanks, squeeze on both sides at once and get a shape "eyes".
Other scenery
In order to make a star, you need to make an element from quilling module "Rhombus". Then, 5 such modules are made, which are folded into one five-pointed star. After, we start working with the application. For an inexperienced craftsman, it is best to outline the future composition. Next, take a clove bud and 5 petals. The bud is down, the petals, respectively, are up. In our postcard, 3 carnation flowers will be implemented. One is orange, the other is red. They are fixed with glue, and then, from the edge of the postcard, are connected using quilling lines. Then, we attach our sheets to the lines, in any order, as you like. After that, in the left edge we place our star and fix it with glue, and on the right side we do number 9. It can also be formed using quilling paper.
Now our preparation is ready!
