Do you mean you'd like to see how to make the letter outline as part of this video? I have a couple separate videos where I show the general steps to making any letter outline, but I don't think that's what you're asking for, is it? Well, here are the links if you're interested and hopefully they help. Let me know if you have any more questions! ruclips.net/video/o-jqnSzg7Mo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/j7NqRW7y3Xk/видео.html
@@annigancreates6074 thank you for that, thats good too but Im struggling to make the paper stand up. I have three different glues I cannot get the paper to stand up for nothing. Is the paper supposed to be larger than the other paper you plan to use inside it?
Yeah, that sounds frustrating. So let's talk about the glue first. I use Aleene's Tacky Glue which is definitely thicker than a typical white school glue like Elmer's. I was helping my daughter with a school project and had her switch from using Elmer's to Aleene's so the pieces would stick together faster. It's a real pain to squeeze out of the needle-nosed glue bottles because you have to squeeze so hard, but it comes out in a thin line (or line of dots) which is nice so you have less glue mess. The other thing that probably helps is that I do my outlines on a lightbox, and I think the heat from the lightbox dries the glue faster. So if you have a thin glue and don't have extra heat from a lightbox, you could put a line of glue and let it dry a minute or two before putting the strip on. That little bit of drying time makes the glue stickier. About paper. I like using 65lb cardstock for letter outlines. It is thicker so it's easier to stand on edge and it is overall more sturdy. But it's not too thick which would make it hard to curl and shape. And for width, typically I would use the same width strips for both the outline and the fill, like 5mm, but that's preference. One thing I've seen other quillers do is use straight pins to hold strips in place until they're dry. What I don't like about that method is how it makes a bunch of tiny holes in the project, plus you need a corkboard or foam sheet or something underneath to stick the pins into. But if it works for you, it's better to have tiny holes (that you can hopefully cover up with quilling) than FRUSTRATION. Ok, one more thought. I've seen the Papery Craftery make a shape on top of wax paper using pins to hold in place until dry, and then she can transfer it from the wax paper to a card or whatever she's making. Seems like it could be a very tricky transfer and certainly more work, but that could be another option to try. Well, if you've read thru this whole thing, good job! You've got perseverance to make it, ha ha! If nothing else, you can know I'm rooting for you and hope you find a method that makes you happy.
@@annigancreates6074 Thank you so much! I am like you I’m not wanting to do anything with hole… I figured out now from what you wrote that my base paper may not be thick enough then. I may need to go to the craft store or order some they may not have that weight there. Our Office Depot left about 5 years ago so I used to get heavy paper from them. Thank you so much for your help! I’ll let you know how it turns out. With cramping in my hand it may take till Christmas though! Thank you thank you! 💙💕
Blue and more blue. If I remember correctly, the blues I used didn't have specific names. They came as part of a Tuparka quilling kit that can be bought from amazon, or possibly a Juya quilling kit. They both come with various shades of blue that you can use to create this design.
Ooh, interesting question. Variety of ways for sure. Sometimes I sketch out ideas, sometimes I see something I want to try (tulip), sometimes it's something I think fits the person receiving it (beach). I started getting into folk art for cookie decorating, but turns out, it's awesome for quilling too! So that's where the inspiration for this D came from. For a lot of designs, I'll start with a focal point of some sort, usually a flower. Then I like to put in some scrolls or leaves around it and go from there. Does that help? Thanks for the comment!
@@annigancreates6074 yes that helps! I have recently gotten into quilling (I've yet to make anything) because I just didn't know where to start. So yes this helps and gives me ideas. Thank you so much! Also side note you're videos are fantastic I love your personality 💕 I giggle through most videos
Oh goodness, getting started is the hardest part! I can totally empathize with you there. Trying to come up with an idea can feel like torture, but once you get an idea you love, it's thrilling. And then creating it and watching come to life is even better! Thanks for watching the videos and good luck with your quilling!
Oh, yes, this D was begging for that flourish. Thank you for teaching us your designs.
You're welcome, although, it seems like we're teaching each other. I guess that's how it goes in the quilling community.
It's too beautiful 😍
Thank you so much 😀 I love the blue!
Love your designs! Please quill letter W! Would love to see that 😍
Thanks for your comment! I will definitely add W to my list. It might be a little while, but I'll get to it!
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing x
Thank you!
Wow
😮
Que belleza de trabajo, y las formas y figuras que colocaste son hermosas y los colores mis favoritos!!😍
¡Muchas gracias! Yo también amo el azul. De hecho, estaba pensando que tal vez debería haber puesto aún más azul, de alguna manera.
@@annigancreates6074 yo opino que quedó muy bien así, se ve equilibrado y bello
How to outline D like this?
Can you show how you do the letters because so far Im not seeing anyone completely showing that.

Please crinkle/crimp a 5mm 4" strip, loosely roll it, then envision the possibilities.
I totally need to work in that crimper more!
It's really hard
Uh-oh, you mean the part where I say "easy cheesy"? Or the part where I say "easy as pie"? Because that would be just too ironic.
