Before we get started.

This tutorial has a few prerequisites that you will need to take care of if
you have not already done so. Firstly you will need the knowledge of how
to make the basic quilling shapes. If you need to learn, you can find our
free tutorial here. You will also need to make a stacked quilling form to
follow this tutorial with ease. If you do not want to make one you can
hunt around your house for some round objects of the same diameter.
Take it from us however, the tool is nice to have on hand.

Supplies.
1/4" Quilling Paper. The exact amounts used are provided under each
design.
Quilling tool
Quilling form or object that is 2" in diameter.
Glue
Sealer
7 mm O rings (2 per pair)
Ear wires (2 per pair)
Jewelry pliers

Tiny Circle Earrings.

A) Outer teardrop
B) Inside circle
C) Middle circle
D) Outside circle
Paper Cuts.
A) 2 x 34" total length, 2 x 3" strips
B) 2 x 17" strips
C) 2 x 17" strips
D) 2 x 17" strips
Quilling Instructions.
Using the 2" tier of your quilling form and 34" of color A, make a closed
coil ring. Make 2

Make 2 tight closed coils using your quilling tool and the 3" strips of color
A.

Begin the inner circle shapes with a 17" strip of color B. When the end is
reached, glue to secure. Seamlessly join a 17" strip of color C and then
color D. Make 2.

Shape your two coil rings into teardrop shapes being careful to place the
paper seam at the bottom of the earring.
Place a strip of glue on the inside of the outer teardrop as shown below.
Insert the small circle into the teardrop and push against the glued
surface to secure. Be sure to hide the paper seam from view.

Line a strip of glue along the top point of the earring and secure one of the
small tight closed coils. Repeat with the second earring and you are
finished.

Once your earrings are made, you will want to seal them for protection
and then connect the jewelry hardware. Information on both of these
steps can be found near the bottom of this tutorial.

Side Fan Earrings.

A) Outer teardrop
B) Inner swirl main color
C) Inner swirl contrasting color

Paper Cuts.
A) 2 x 34" total length, 2 x 3" strips
B) 2 x 10" strips
C) 2 x 10" strips
Quilling Instructions.

Using the 2" tier of your quilling form and 34" of color A, create a closed
coil ring. Make 2.
Using your slotted quilling tool and both of the 3" strips of color A, make 2
tight closed coils.

Glue a 10" strip of color C about 1 inch below the top of a 10" B strip to
create a double strip. Before rolling, place a line of glue around the inside
of one of the rings you made in the previous step.

Roll your double strip inward toward the C strip. Carefully remove the
double coil from the tool and place inside the glued ring. Allow to expand.
Using your fingers, gently swish the coil around, ensuring all sides make
contact with the glue.

Allow the glue to dry and then create a teardrop shape. Take care that the
seam is placed at the base. Repeat these steps to make a second
teardrop.

Place a strip of glue along the tip of each shape and attach the small
closed coils that you made earlier. Try to hide the seams near the point so
they do not show.

Once your earrings are made, you will want to seal them for protection
and then connect the jewelry hardware. Information on both of these
steps can be found near the bottom of this tutorial.

Heart All-a-Flutter Earrings

A) Outer teardrop
B) Inner heart
Paper Cuts.
A) 2 x 34" total length, 2 x 3" strips
B) 4 x 4.25" strips
Quilling Instructions.
Using the 2" tier of your quilling form and 34" of color A, create a closed
coil ring. Make 2. Turn the rings into teardrop shapes. Take care to place
the outer paper seam at the point.
Using your quilling tool and the 3" strips of color A, make 2 tight closed
coils.

Using your quilling tool and the 4.25" strips of color B, create 4 open coils.
Glue to secure and shape into teardrops. Place the paper edge at the
point.
Notice which way the paper fans. Face two teardrops towards each other
with the paper pointing inward as shown below on the right. Smear a bit
of glue on the one side and press the two shapes together to create a
heart.

Create 2 hearts.

Place glue on the outer edges of the hearts near the points and place
them into the narrow part of the teardrops.

Place a strip of glue on the outer earring directly above the center of the
heart. Secure a small closed coil on each earring.

Once your earrings are made, you will want to seal them for protection
and then connect the jewelry hardware. Information on both of these
steps can be found near the bottom of this tutorial.

Finishing.
When the glue has dried, you will want to seal them for protection. There
are many methods and products available. I choose to seal mine by hand
using a UV protected nail enamel.

Adding Hardware.
Using your jewelry pliers, stretch open the O-rings and curve in the
corners before attaching. Doing this will allow for an easier and more
secure entrance.

That's it. All done.
