DIY - Paper Quilling earring tutorial

Dear Friends,

This month it is anything goes at Create something Catchy Challenges. Hence no boundaries and no limitations. My inspiration is on tutorial to make quilled earring.

Quilled Earrings are quick and easy to make. To make them waterproof takes a lot of time. But you can create and cherish your friends by creating an earring for them. A few quilling strips and some earring findings are all you need to make these type of quilled earring designs.

It is a very simple tutorial and does not require a quilling tool.

 

Supplies you would need

1. Quilling strips - 3mm or 5mm - 10 Nos
2. A sketch pen or OHP marker
3. Glue.
4. Basic jewelry making supplies - O rings and fish hooks
5. Beads, mirror to embelish(optional)

Step 1:

Take a single strip and roll over the sketch pen and glue it as shown below

   

Step 2:

Pinch at one point in the coil to make a tear drop pattern. Repeat step 1 and make 10 Nos of such tear drops.

Step 3:

Attach each tear drops together to form a flower pattern as shown below.

Step 4:

Connect the fish hooks to flower pattern with O rings. Your quilled earring is ready.

   

Embellish the flower as you like - Beads , mirror, tight coil and coat it with glue and varnish.

Isn't easy to do. You can create any number of quilling earring designs by this method using basic quilling shapes

 Would be happy to see your work at CSCC#13.

Happy crafting............................  :)

My transformation

Dear friends,

I am here today to post on how i make my paper jewellery. The idea of becoming a jewellery designer without any formal course may seems to be daunting. But in my case it is not like that. You all need is a bit of talent, creativity and dedication. You can become a jewellery designer.

It was during 2005, I ventured into the jewellery  designing field for Tanishq & Goldplus. Since an amateur designer was scared to compete with other qualified jewellery designers. But the confidence in me helped me to do more than 300 designs for the both the brand which was well appreciated by our design head and customers.

But there was many limitation in designing and we have to think the possibility of manufacturing while designing. I have decided to give up this career  to take care of little son. This was the time i accidentally got into quilling on seeing by Reshmi's quilling blog. But there was no tutorial on how to quill. Only my designing skill helped to learn quilling on my own. Since 2006, i was in love with quilling and so far I have made nearly 500 designs in paper earring. I don't have any idea about blog those day.

I named my artwork under Adhiraacreations / Adhiraa Creations / Adhira creations on 4th May 2012 and planned to opened a blog. Adhiraacreations blog came to live on 28th May 2012. I am going to celebrate my 2nd blog anniversary soon this month. Thank you friends for your support.

Hence friends, try anything with hard work and dedication, you will achieve it. Hope I have bored you with my story. I design my jewellery first and then try it out. Here is a sample.
