Hello friends, This is Trupti from Trupti's Craft. In the previous post my friend Janani gave you a brief information about paper quilling. Today I am going to tell you about some basic shapes of paper quilling. These are the basic shapes made with the help of quilling niddle, slotted tool. If you do not have a slotted tool you can use a tooth pick. Snip the end of the tooth pick for about 0.5 cm, your slotted tool is ready. Now let's see how to make each shape in detail . Tight Coil: Insert a tip of paper strip in to the slot of slotted tool and roll it tightly. Glue the end of paper strip and remove the coil from the tool. Loose Coil : Make a tight coil and release it gently before gluing. You can use circle sizer or quilling board to make desire size coils. Then glue the end of paper strip. Loose coil is the basic shape. By pinching loose coil in different places you can make lot of different shapes. Ring Coil: Wrap a paper strip around any circular object like pen, handle of quilling tool etc. Glue the loose end and remove it. By pinching this ring coil you can also make different shapes. Tear drop: Make a loose coil and pinch one side to make tear drop. Curved Teardrop: Make a tear drop and bend pinched end . Elongated Teardrop - Make a loose coil. Move the center to one corner and pinch opposite side to make to make entire shape long. Marquise: Make a loose coil and pinch both side. Marquise With Single Curved End : Make a marquise and bend one end. Marquise With Double Curved Ends: Make a marquise and bend both ends in opposite directions. Angled Marquise: Make a marquise and push one end toward the center forming angles. Half Moon: Make a loose coil. Using both hands make a half moon. Arrow Head: Make a loose coil. Pinch one end pointed. Press in the round part with your needle or slotted tool. Bunny Ear: Make a loose coil. Use an awl or small pen and push one side of coil toward the center to forma bunny ear. Lily of The Valley: Make a bunny ear and bend both ends outward. Heart: Make a loose coil. Pinch one side to make a tear drop. Press in the rounded part with toothpick or your finger nail. Half Circle: Make a loose coil. Pinch one side to make a tear drop. Pinch second time near to first pinch. Triangle: Make a loose coil. Pinch one side to make a tear drop. Pinch second time near to first pinch to make half circle. Then pinch the rounded part. Square: Make a loose coil. Pinch both ends to make a marquise. Pinch off rounded shapes to make square. Rectangle: Make a loose coil. Pinch both ends to make a marquise. Slightly rotate the shape and push pointed end towards enter Holly Leaf : Make a loose coil. Pinch both ends to make a marquise. Pinch off new small points on each side of existing points. Make last two points. So totally you have 6 points. Now let's talk about how to make some Eccentric Rolls/Coils. Eccentric Loose Coil: Make a loose coil and place it in a quilling board. Using a pin move a center to one side and stick it to the board. Glue the center in place and let it dry completely. Eccentric Tear Drop: Make an eccentric loose coil and pinch the other end. Eccentric Long Tear Drop: Make an eccentric loose coil. Press the entire circle and use your fingers to make entire shape long. Eccentric Marquise: Make an eccentric loose coil. Position the glued center to one side and pinch both sides to make points. These are just few shapes. You can make your own shapes too, just make loose coil or ring coil and pinch it. While pinching coil make sure that you will pinch near glued part of strip so that it will look glue. One more tip is use very less glue. If you have any questions then do not hesitate to ask in the comment section. That's it for today. Stay tuned for next post where I am going to write about scrolls. Thanks for visiting.

Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all in the best of health always. I'm back again here with another quilling tutorial. Quilling flower tutorial again to be exact. Can't seem to stop making quilling flower tutorials. Haha! I still got a few more quilling flower tutorials that I promised to make. Not sure if I can make them all this year. I guess some will be completed by next year. "Next year is actually not that too far away. I can't believe that soon it will be 2022. I didn't accomplish a lot this year due to ill health. I really hope, wish and pray that next year things will be better for me. I want to be more productive, God willing. Actually I wanted to make this Pointy Petal flower tutorial months ago but I was worried about how to make the video as it is very difficult to explain the process. In the end I decided to do it no matter how difficult and just wing it. Glad I did it in the end. I know a lot of you out there who are interested in vortex designs as much as I am. There's so much about it to explore. This Pointy Petal flower is actually similar to the Teardrop Swirl flower I made back in 2019. The difference is just that pointed tip on the petal, the vortex design in the petal swirls almost the same way. So I thought I had to make a tutorial to show how almost similar they are in some ways. But I think now my favourite is the Pointed Petal even though it's harder to make it compared to the Teardrop Swirl flower. When I made vortex design flowers back in 2019, I enjoyed making them in multiple colours. Most of the time I used 3 colours for the petals but for this Pointed Petal flower tutorial I decided to use just one colour for the petals and try to be more creative with the centre part of the flower where I can play with colours that would match the colour of the petals. The other vortex design flowers I've done before I just added a simple half pearl on it, no need to think much, very simple. So that's why I wanted to try something different this time around. Do check out my YouTube quilling tutorial below: I decided to make the Pointy Petal Flower in various colours to show you how it would look like when made in multiple colours. Hope you are inspired to try them out yourselves.
Quilling Glue Basics - 5 Helpful Tips Do you have a hard time with glue showing on your quilling? In this video I’m going to share all the gluing tips I’ve learned since I started in 2006. Tip 1 – Smear Your Glue Puddle I often see instruction to pour out some glue, and then to dip your quilling into the puddle, but it’s easy to overcoat your quilling strip this way, which means your glue will be seen on your final work surface. Instead, I prefer to use another piece of plastic to smear the puddle flat. This way the depth of your glue puddle is very shallow. This allows you to gently press the innermost coils into the glue, coating every bit of it. When I pick it up, I pre-loosen the inner coils so the glue’s suction won’t destroy the smooth arcs. After lifting, I always turn it upside down to check if I’ve missed coating any of it. If I did, I’ll simply re-dip again. Tip 2 - Missed Spots Now, if you coiled your strip unevenly, it’s quite easy to miss getting it dipped fully into the glue. Or maybe you missed dipped a certain section. What do you do if your strip is already on your work surface? Let me show you how to add glue in a case like this. Apply glue to a scrap piece of quilling paper and slip it under the areas that are missing glue, the press your strip down. Tip 3 - Glue Dipping and Smearing Cards When smearing my glue for dipping my pieces, I prefer to use a plastic card that has a matte surface rather than a high gloss surface. I usually use the Oyster card I got when I visited London. Tip 4 - How to Undo Glued Pieces As all quillers know, our work is hard to undo. If you’ve glued something down, don’t just tear it up. You’ll end up tearing the fibres of your work surface. Instead, I extend an x-acto knife and slowly slice through the glue horizontally. This is another reason why it’s good to use as little glue as possible. If you have some stubborn bits, you may need to scrape the surface a bit. I then use an eraser to gently scour the fragments. Finally I use a bone folder to smoothen the surface as much as possible. I only remove my quilling as a last resort, and you’ll get the best results the faster you make your decision before the glue fully dries. I do suggest that you practice on a scrap piece first. Tip 5 - My Favorite Quilling Glue Brand I’m often asked what brand of glue I use. My favourite is Aleene’s Tacky Glue because it’s thick and dries fast. I use the large bottle when I need to smear it for dipping, and I put it in a fine tip bottle for applying directly onto my quilling strips. I store it upside down in a shot glass with a wet tissue at the bottom so it doesn’t clog and is always ready to use. I hope these tips help you with your quilling. I love reading your comments and hearing which tip you found the most helpful, because then it helps me decide what to show you in the future. Or if you have any tips to share, please comment so we can all learn from you as well.
