SECTION 5 -SCROLLS

Scrolls are easy to make and add a flourish to your work in spaces that need "something extra"...

Here are a few to try, follow my directions; 

A Basic Scroll:  a tight roll with the end left undone will relax in size a certain extent and then may be used as a shape in it's own right, when adhered to your project.

A Scrolled Heart: Fold the strip at the centre and roll the ends in to meet each other then let relax to size you desire.

An S Scroll:  Roll one end toward the strip's centre and then turn over, roll up the other end to meet and it will form an S shape.

Scrolls in a row:

Make these by connecting several loose rolls, curving the loose end of one around the bottom of the body of the next. Waves of the ocean or a border perhaps?

C Scroll:   Roll both ends of the strip toward the middle to form a C shape.

More advanced scrolls:

Double Scroll:  Tear 2 lengths of paper, one shorter than the other and rest them against each other, with 1 end of the shorter length 3mm from theend of the longer one. Glue here. Roll the double strip starting at the end which has the longer length on the outside and then release the tension and pull slightly at the shorter length to separate the coiled strips. Glue ends together. 

Double Scroll with flag: Fold paper strip in half. Starting from 2 loose ends, roll the folded strip, the inside will form a flag shape( loop) near to the fold crease.

Triple Scroll: Fold length of paper strip in half, roll each end under a few turns. Roll the folded end down to meet the other 2 coils.

Now go on to SECTION 6 -ECCENTRIC ROLLS ( a variation of Loose roll shapes)
