Making beads:

• First attach the color strips at the ends,I have taken two colors(number of strips depend on  the size of bead you want)
• Make a tight coil
• Using the mold, form dome shapes and fix the shape by applying glue to the inside part and leave to dry.
• Glue two  domes to get a bead
• Stick a paper strip around the joint.

QUILLED EARRING

Serrated mangoes..

•  Firstly I made the strip zig zag and rolled to a circle.You should be carefull while rolling not so tight or so loose.Then only we will get the correct shape at the end.
• For this I used brown and yellow strip together and quilled to get a double color effect.
• Then I shaped it as a Mango and attached the circles on the top.

Paper Quilled earring

Violet and Yellow

         An yellow and violet combination becomes my favorite combo after this earring.Quilling is  more interesting when we play with these kind of colors.I have used yellow and purple strips and quilled round and has given an embossed effect in the center.To ornament the outer circumference ,used the zig zags again with the same colors and glued around the circle.
I am  trying to put a full quilling tutorial of what ever I make ,but with my 16 months old kid I find less `time but soon will come up with tutorials.
