Customized matching Quilling Jhumka Series - 1

Hi everybody

Lets make some quilling jhumka which can perfectly match your outfit. These designer jhumkas will look very beautiful and elegant when worn. It adds an extra beauty to your outfit.

The materials required are :

• Quilling Strips ( 5 mm )
• Quilling needle
• Fevicol
• Quilling varnish
• Triple 0 size paint brush
• Acrylic colours

Let me show you how to do it:

• I have made  a  tight coil using 6 quilling strips. Make the coil according to your jhumka size. Make sure you don't roll the coil very tight.
• Make a cone using the jhumka mould. Press it evenly with your fingers to get a smooth quilled dome.
• Apply fevicol evenly inside the cone. Allow it to dry.
• With a pencil draw the desired drawing outside the cone.
• Take a triple 0 paint brush and paint it with the appropriate colours. You can also make the outline using black colour. Here I have drawn some flowers with leaves. I have used yellow( for flowers )and green( for leaves ) acrylic colours.
• Allow the paint to dry.
• Take a thick brush and apply quilling varnish / glaze on the jhumka. First apply one coat, once it dries apply a second coat if needed.
• This will give the jhumka a shiny look and make it water resitant.
• Attach the jhumka stud and your matching jhumka is ready

The complete Jhumka looks like this:
