What is a paper quilled crescent? How to make a crescent Ways to use a crescent More than just part of the moon Crescents are the one little shape than can go a long way. Use them as one shape that can be placed in many different orientations. Or combine crescents with other shapes like the teardrop or ghost, to produce multi-colored shapes. But be warned, mass producing crescents with a consistent size and shape can be tough.  Basic process of quilling a crescent 1. Use a toothpick to roll up a paper strip 2. Always make a loose coil, then glue to secure 3. Pinch the left and right ends of the coil, to form a half-circle 4. Press a toothpick or a pen down against the flat side, in the center (Toothpick makes a thin crescent, pen makes a thick crescent) 5. Use your thumbs and index fingers to adjust the curve and tips of the crescent Note: Because crescents are formed from loose coils, they are unpredictable. I found it easier to make the same size/type of crescent with shorter pap...

 What is a paper quilled rectangle How to make a rectangle Rectangle designs Better than the square? Rectangles can be better than squares, depending on how you use them. If you want to fill up space faster, use rectangles. Want a more interesting looking coil in the middle? Yeah, use rectangles.    Basic process of quilling a rectangle 1. Use a toothpick to roll a paper strip 2. Immediately glue a tight coil and secure it, or expand into a loose coil and glue it 3. Pinch the circle into an oval shape. Then pinch one corner at time Note: The looser the coil, the longer the rectangle, and the swirlier the center is. Similar to paper quilled squares, loose rectangles are not very stable and can be bent out of shape. Tighter rectangles are smaller, sturdier, more solid, and harder to pinch into shape. Ways to use a rectangle Some rectangle designs I came up with: -Use green to make flower stems, or vibrant colors to make thin petals -Use a thin black strip to make mouths or ...
