Thank you so much 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'd love to hear how you get on. Happy Quilling! 💗

Love the tutorial and your work :) Love it that you talk length of strip used and GSM of paper so many don't . Clare, I also like the inner coil rotation.

[@craftyweeblackbird]

I'm so glad you appreciated my tutorial! I really have to remember to mention the paper used in each video as you're not the first to mention this. Spinning the coil from the centre really does have a cleaner finish to your coil 💗

Oooo... I need to tyr out birlin the middle, its a much neater finish.

[@craftyweeblackbird]

Definitely a much neater finish 😍

Very nice, Clare! I'm with you... I like the look of more inner coil rotations too and will give your method a try. What I've been doing (for example when making a teardrop) is use a straight pin to jiggle the rotations so they're evenly spaced, pinch to make the point, and lastly glue the end in place. Isn't it amazing that just a narrow strip of paper can turn into something pretty?!

Sorry for the delay in reply, I can't seem to figure out how to get notifications through to my phone. I really love quilling as I am always amazed at what can be achieved by strips of paper :)
