Add a paper quilled duck foot to your next design.   Basic process of quilling a duck foot 1. Use a toothpick to roll up a paper strip 2. Always expand to make a loose coil, and glue to secure it 3. Pinch the left and right sides of the coil to make a marquis shape (like an eyeball shape) 4. Pinch up a triangle in the center of the marquis. You should now have a shape with 3 points, like a duck foot  Note: Because they are made with loose coils, duck feet are tricky to make consistently.

6 Paper Quilling Design Ideas Using Only The Teardrop

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...
