Here's a beginner friendly, simple and easy paper quilled jewelry project to try any weekend or quick craft therapy!
Select 2 different colored paper quilling strips for the pendant, I used black and red. Let's make the first pattern. You'll need 6 inches long black strip and another 6 inches long red strip. Use the red strip to make a teardrop shape.
Double Spiral: Prepare 2.5 -3 inches long black quilling strips. Fold the black strip into half and then unfold again, this was to mark the half of the strip. Coil the black strip from any one side and stop quilling when you reach the half fold. Similarly quill the other side of the black strip. Make 6 of these.
Time to join the teardrop and double spiral patterns. Take the teardrop and the double spiral pattern. Apply glue on the straight parts of the teardrop pattern. Unfold the coils of the double spiral slightly and place the teardrop pattern's pointy edge right on the half fold of the double spiral. Wrap the teardrop pattern with the coiled black strip. Allow the glue to dry. Similarly join the rest of them.
Similarly prepare 5 or more patterns like we did in the previous steps.
Now glue these patterns together on the sides. Glue all 6 pieces to form a round pattern.
Now make make 12 black teardrop patterns. Glue 6 of them between the previous patterns, in the gap. Now glue the rest 6 teardrop patterns around the first round pattern with their pointy side facing out. Allow the glue to dry.
Attach a small bead on the center of the paper quilled flower pattern. Attach a jump ring to complete the pendant.
Wear it with a black string or seed beaded necklace. Enjoy!
