DIY Rolled Paper Pendant Tutorial: For Someone Special

Directions:

Step-1: At first, join two strips of quilling paper to make an extra long strip which will help you to roll without interference in the middle. Remember you have to do it before starting the rolling of paper. Apply a small amount of glue to the torn end of one strip and now lay the torn end of other strip on the glue. Allow sometime to dry the glue. Remember you have to make out three 40” strips of different colors to make out this project.

Step-2: Now you have to roll a disc of each color with each of the 40” strips. Now the question arises that how you will make the disc. Yes it is a very easy procedure. Feed one end of a disc into the quilling tool slot. Now roll the strip using even tension. Now when the full strip is rolled, apply a small amount of glue in the torn end of the strip and stick it tightly. Allow the glue to dry for sometime before sliding out the roll from the tool. If the roll has become uneven place it on a smooth table surface and press it flat by the tool.

Step-3: Connect 20” of a single color with a 20” of another color of strip and roll it to make a disc using the quilling tool. But remember one it should be the mix of two colors as said earlier.

Step-4: Now place the disc on pencil point or pen cap to press it and make a shape. Apply a thin coating of glue inside to keep it in that particular shape using a toothpick or a piece of paper. Remember toothpick works better.

Step-5: Now make a small disc of another 9” color strip. After making the disc shape it in the same procedure as the above using a pencil point. And next apply glue inside it to maintain the shape.

Step-6: Take another strip of 24” which is of same color you have chosen in the step-5. Shape it with our finger tip and not a pencil point this time. Apply a thin layer of glue inside it.

Step-7: After the glue slightly dries up in the 24” disc, make a small indentation at the top of the coil by pressing it with a pen cap or the tip of the handle of a pliers.

Step-8: in this step you will have to make a ring coil by wrapping a single color strip around the handle of a quilling tool. Just wrap 4-5 times to make a thin layer.

Step-9: Now slide the coil off the handle and trim the excess paper. Glue down the end and pinch two opposite ends to make marquise ring coil.

Step-10: Now assemble the full pendant like this as shown in the picture. And now stick the marquise ring coil to the indentation in the rounded black disc.
