Quilled Jewelry to match your mood!

I fell in love with paper quilling about 5 years ago....and since then i've been gifting people with quilled cards , frames and so on.
Its inexpensive and very beautiful ...all it takes is your time :-)
You could use different colors to suit your clothes and moods....the possibilities are endless!

Step 1: Things you need

A hand paper shredder or quilling paper
colored paper of your choice ( if you are buying quilling paper then just buy the colors you want)
Glue
ruler with circles
Styrofoam board
scissor
pins
barbeque stick/ tooth pick

hey...just a thought....would people be interested in a quilling wheel? meaning something that would automatically roll up your paper.. :-) i'm in the process of inventing one..

Shanzi Beautiful addition to ur instructables...

but r these water proof?

[shazni]

if you varnish it about 3 thick coats...yes...it's water proof as in an decoupage crafts. i've forgotton and had a wash with it a couple of times and it's still the same. :-) just make sure you varnish well.

i am confused on how to get the paper measurements. this craft is all about making jewlery aout of long pieces of paper right?

[shazni]

yes....long strips....different colors....i just rolled randomly till the width i preferred came...for this tutorial...i measured the randomly cut pieces .

[AussieAnglerGal]

to get perfect strips, you can use a paper shredder that shreds neat, 5mm wide strips, thats what i use

[shazni]

My paper shredder is in the picture...the box like thing with the yellow top ( i haven't perfectly closed it) What's fantastic about it is it cuts 2mm strips or 1/8" strips...which is exactly the normal quilling paper width. If i need wider strips i generally mark and cut with a exacto knife :-).
btw..please rate it if you like it. thanks
