Now start making a tight roll, start from light green side.

To make roll,

Insert a piece of quilling paper into the slot of your quilling tool, and start rolling, when almost done, place glue near the end of the strip and roll to complete. And remove it from the tool. (refer picture)

Now, I use quilling mould to make dome shape. Make a nice dome by pressing towards down down.

Similarly, make another dome.

Now we have two nice dome, lets go to next step.

Now, once we have two domes ready, glue it from inside, let it dry.

Then, glue it outer side, and allow to dry completely.

Now, these domes are water proof, and its shape also fixed.

Once dried, spray clear varnish both inside and outside of the domes. lets dry
