Quilling Shapes
Supplies:
To learn the basic shapes you will need many scrap strips of quilling paper to practice with. How many and in what lengths is entirely up to you.
A slotted or needle quilling tool.
Glue.
A quick drying tacky variety is best.
Patience.
Quilling is an incredibly rewarding and pleasurable craft once you get the hang of it, so hang in there and keep on trying!
Tight Rolled Coil.
Insert the tip of your paper strip into the slot of your quilling tool (or wrap around the quilling needle) and wind tightly. Secure with glue before sliding the coil off.
Open Coil.
Begin as you did with the closed coil. Slide the unglued coil from the tool and allow to gently open into circle shape. Glue end to secure.
The open coil is the base shape for all the other shapes. You may wish to make a bunch and then further practice the remaining quilling shapes.
Tear Drop.
Begin with an open coil.
Pinch one side to create the tear drop shape.
Tear drop shape made.
