What is a paper quilled teardrop How to make a teardrop Ways to use a teardrop Easiest shape to make Teardrops are what they sound like; a water droplet shape. Simply pinch one end of a paper quilled circle to create a teardrop. Just like the circle, we can also make variations of the basic teardrop shape. Once I learn how to make these variations, I'll cover them in a future post.    Basic process of paper quilling a teardrop 1. Use a toothpick to roll an entire strip of paper 2. Release the coil to make it loose (again, loose coils are easier to work with) 3. Glue the paper to itself to make a circle 4. Now pinch the top of the circle with your thumb and index finger Note: There are pros and cons to creating tight and loose teardrops. Tight teardrops are harder to create (you need to apply more pinching pressure). However, tight coils produce more uniform teardrops; they will be the same size and have the same center. Loose teardrops are easier to make, but it's difficult to...

Supplies Instructions Enjoy! Make this for you or your fellow One Piece fans!   Maybe you and your friends are big fans of One Piece. Or maybe you've never heard of this pirate-themed anime. Either way, today's post will introduce you to a basic paper quilling project and a lengthy anime series.   Need a quick refresher about the Op-Op fruit? In One Piece, there is a devil fruit called the Op-Op fruit. The character Trafalgar Law was forced to eat this fruit. Now Law has the "ROOM" ability, where he can control or operate on everything inside a specific territory.

To paper quill the Op-Op fruit, you need: -One 22" long paper strip (dark red) for the fruit/heart outline -Five to ten 5...

What is a paper quilled circle? How to paper quill a coil Circle designs Transform the circle   Paper quilling scrolls vs. circles After rolling a thin paper strip with a toothpick and letting go, the paper becomes a scroll. Scrolls are a nice spiral shape, but since they are not glued to themselves, they are not a circle yet. While scrolls seem simple, there are multiple kinds of scrolls (and I plan to cover these in future posts).   So back to circles. If you glue the scrolled paper to itself, you create a circle, or coil. You can have different coils depending on how tightly or loosely you roll them. To make a tight coil, roll the paper on the toothpick and immediately glue it together. For a loose coil, roll the paper, release the coil until it becomes the right size, and then glue it.     Does it really matter if the coil is loose or tight? Yes, it does. Why? Because: -Tight coils look better in certain artistic designs, while loose coils look better in oth...
