quilled antique keys!!!

i had made a few quilled key for this craft contest i entered. you must have seen it in the entry video that i had  posted. so i figured out id post a tutorial on how to make those, its pretty simple.
 YOU'LL NEED
quilling strips (preferably black)
slotted tool
glue
paintbrushes
black sheet( if you're using black strips)
bronze powder








HOW TO:
1.

cut out a piece of the sheet with its height the length of the key.

2. roll the piece into a tight cylinder

3. using the slotted tool make coils for the head of the key.make coils of different sizes or pairs if different coils(for a symmetrical design)

4. you can also press the coils to make different shapes, i made semicircles, tight and loose coils.

5. glue the coils to the body of the key.

6. i used the semicircles in the bottom (?) of the key.

7. now grab the glue, bronze powder and your brushes!!!

8. apply a coat of clear glue on the key

9.dab a bit of bronze powder without added medium on the brush.

10. now dust the key with the bronze powder,do not completely cover the key with the bronze powder,leave a bit of black peeking here and there.this is to give the key an ancient look.

now stand back and admire your handiwork.let your mind take over, make a key using aged book pages laying around or whatever you find interesting. these make great pendents.

i hope the tutorial was good! "do not" forget to comment and like if you enjoyed it!!!! 

HOW to make a pair of quilled earrings #3

here is another post for which i finally got the time to complete.

anyway the pics are not as good as the previous ones cause i used the phone camera in bad light :( .

for this tutorial you'll need:

the usual,     *quilling slotted tool

                    *glue

                    *jump rings

                    *ear ring hooks

                    *rhinestones(optional)

and of course *quilling paper( for this tutorial i'm using pink and black {again} ;) )

LET US BEGIN!!!

first cut the strips into smaller pieces, iv'e cut each of my strips in three equals.make sure you have 8 pieces from each color.

 next join two pieces of different color together using glue.

 do this with all 8 pieces.

 then using the slotted tool create simple coils out of all the joined pieces.

 like that!

and then form the leaf shape by pressing the edges in the opposite directions as shown .

 as we need only half the flower for this earrings, i'll use only four petals for each earring.

 use the rhinestone for the center (you can also use a tight quilled coil)

 for the final step attach the hooks using jump rings and you;re done

 i hope you enjoyed this tutorial as much as i did making it for you. dot forget to like, g+, comment or share this post if you did.

see you next time!!!! <3 :)

making quilled ear hangings #2

making quilled ear hangings #2

hey, finally another tutorial post!!!
as usual you'll need:

* glue,
*quilling strips (i'm using 3mm strips of dark and light pink and black)
*slotted quilling tool
*and a cylindrical object
*earring hook and jump rings
STEP 1 : take the cylindrical object and then like in the previous tutorial coil the strip around it as shown, (i'm using a cap)

glue the end and carefully remove the coil from the cap

make two such coils.
STEP 2: Now take the other two strips...

and paste the two strips together on one end

do this with another pair of strip or as required.

STEP 3: with this strip follow the beehive quilling technique. for those of you who dont know this technique its nothing but making multiple simple coils in the same strip.there are videos on this technique on YouTube and i'll try to make a post sometime.

STEP 4: apply glue inside the coil

and then arrange the other strip inside the coil.

do this to both the coils( and press the ends to get a teardrop shape if you like)

STEP 5 :now attach the hooks and jump rings to your piece of jewelry

you can attach them directly or by attaching them to smaller coils and then pasting them to the quilled piece

i prefer the latter

STEP 6: ADMIRE YOUR MASTER PIECE ;)

STEP7: don't forget to COMMENT OR SHARE OR LIKE this POST cause that would make me EXTREMELY HAPPY!!!!!!!!

how to make a pair of quilled earrings #1

This is my first actual post as a tutorial , so here goes...

how to make quilled earrings

The things you'll need are:-

*A slotted quilling tool

 *Some glue

     *Two tubes for the rings, one larger than the other.

And two shades of quilling paper ( i prefer 3mm quilling strips for jewelry, here i'm using bright shades)

Let's begin !!!!!!!!

# First take two strips of pink quilling paper and glue them together. Then using the larger tube make the outer ring of the earring as shown below.

Then glue the ends together .

 Now you have the outer ring. Repeat the process and make another ring like the first one.

 Set it aside, using the same technique make a smaller ring using the smaller tube.

 Glue the smaller ring to the larger one like shown.

Press the two rings together to form a tear drop shape like so...

Cut the green quilling paper into smaller pieces such that they are equal. I cut each strip into 8 equal pieces. The more the pieces, the more detailed the earrings. You'll need to cut more than a one strip depending on the size of your earrings.

Using the slotted tool roll the pieces into coils, make sure that they are not too tight.

Glue the ends of the coils.

Do this to each of the pieces. I know this can be a bit tiresome but you just gotta love it!!!!

 Once you have enough coils start arranging them inside the earring and glue them together one by one  like shown below.

We are almost done. For the final step attach the hook by using the jump rings like so.

And we are done!!!!!!

I hope this tutorial has been useful. I really am excited and look forward to post more such tutorials in the future!!! Don't forget to comment and let me know how you feel.
