Coral Pink Quilled Flowers – 3D Paper Flower Arrangement

This delicate paper quilling flower arrangement combines soft coral, blush pink and muted sage green tones with different quilling techniques and textures. I wanted to create a light, romantic composition where the larger flower has an airy, open shape while the smaller flowers provide a more compact contrast.

The main coral-pink flower is made using the pin-husking technique. I created a series of looping paper elements around pins and arranged them into wide, open petals. The result is a delicate 3D flower with plenty of space between the paper strips, giving it a light and almost lace-like appearance. A fringed centre made from yellow and soft green paper adds a natural-looking focal point.

Around the main flower, I added small quilled flowers made from 1 mm paper strips. I rolled the narrow strips into tight coils and shaped them into slightly curved, shell-like petals. Their smooth, dense texture creates an interesting contrast with the open structure of the pin-husked flower.

I also added soft shading to the pale pink petals, creating subtle colour variations along their curves. The muted sage-green leaves and stems complete the arrangement without taking attention away from the flowers.

I like how the combination of pin-husking, tight quilling coils, fringed paper and hand-shaded details gives this small composition so much texture and depth. The soft colour palette would work beautifully for a handmade wedding card, bridal keepsake, wedding photo album, memory box or other romantic paper craft project.
