Bangles A pair of bangles made from paper quilling is a great accessory to complement any outfit. You can make these using different shapes, colours and even add some golden beads to give it an extra touch. To begin with, roll out some colourful strips of quilling paper into various shapes. Keeping your design in mind, stick these together with craft glue and apply clear varnish to strengthen them. Once this is done, take a slotted quilling tool and insert the end of one paper strip into it. Then, turn the tool to wind the paper around it. Continue this process until you have the desired shape. Once you are done, attach the ends together and your beautiful bangle is ready to go. You can use the same technique to make earrings too! These are simple and fun to make.

These can be worn on regular occasions and will match any outfit. This DIY project is very easy and inexpensive. You only need a few supplies like quilling strips, glue and jump rings to make a pair of these stunning paper quilled earrings. Start by collecting a handful of primary colored quilling strips. Using the paper cutter, cut them into equal lengths (with the guidance line). Now take one strip and roll it onto the quilling tool to create a coil. Repeat the same process for the rest of the strips. Once the coils are ready, apply glue sparingly on the edges of each one. Leave it to dry for a while until it feels completely hard and secure. Once the glue is dry, use jewellery pliers to add an open jump ring and an earring hook to each of them. Jewellery Set A colourful jewellery set can be made using quilling paper. This can include a necklace, mangteeka and earrings. These are simple and fun to make. You can even add wooden beads or pipes to give it a unique look.

After the bracelet is complete, you can apply a clear varnish to strengthen it. You can use different types of paper for your quilling project, but it is best to choose acid-free paper. This will ensure that your finished product lasts longer and does not discolour over time. You can also use graduated papers, which have a solid color that fades to a lighter shade. This will give your jewelry a more luxurious finish. Paper Quilling Jewelry
