Quilled Necklace Pendant with a Twist


(In Different Phrases… When Issues Do not Go as Deliberate)

 

For the previous yr (a minimum of!) I’ve had just a little pile of quilled marquises and tight coils on my desk which have been patiently ready for me to assemble them right into a necklace pendant. I do not know why I by no means made time to complete the challenge, aside from the truth that I did not want the pendant for any specific objective. However not too long ago, I did… a prime I deliberate to put on to a vacation get collectively would look good with silver-edge black paper. Thus, this new necklace made it into actuality in the end.

However shock, shock! As I started gluing the coils right into a circle to copy a design I might made plenty of occasions earlier than, they stored insisting on forming an oval. Nicely, okay… a minimum of the design could be a bit totally different to point out on the weblog so I went with it. 

 

You may discover step-by-step photographs and directions to make the unique round pendant in an earlier publish. (For it, I used silver-edge ivory strips.) 

Nonetheless, tampering with the design stretched the marquises on the backside of the oval. I am positive you may see the wonkiness, particularly as a result of shut up images of quilling have a method of compounding errors. Including one other marquise and a pair extra domed tight coils can be all it
takes to appropriate the issue sooner or later. However first, I will must replenish my strip provide… you see, I actually had all of two inches of leftover silver-edge black strips readily available. That basically put the stress on as I assembled the parts!

Whereas checking Amazon to buy extra of the attractive Quilled Creations metallic edge quilling strips, I seen evaluations during which individuals
voiced a few disappointments. One instance, not sufficient strips in a bundle. There are thirty 17.5-inch strips… skilled quillers should not have an issue making a minimum of two pendants from one cheap bundle of strips.

 

For individuals who are model new to quilling, I recommend you do not use your metallic edge strips to apply. As an alternative, reduce up a sheet of printer paper and use these strips till you get used
to rolling coils evenly and easily. (Here’s a tiny paper shredder that may make quick work of chopping a sheet into 1/8″ [3mm] strips.) Upon getting the method down
pat, then escape the specialty strips.

One other grievance I learn is that the strips solely have a metallic edge on one aspect. That is true. Nonetheless, it is not essential that each side have a shiny edge to make a necklace pendant. It’ll lay towards your chest so the reverse aspect will not be seen. That stated, it might be good if there have been strips with a metallic edge on each side as this might turn out to be useful for making dangle earrings… the earring backs might present relying on the wearer’s coiffure.

concept for you – please resurrect the rose gold and copper edge strips as
they make very fairly paper jewellery!
