Little cute beasts
Quick 3D Quilling Project- With Instructions!
A bit of a silly, quick and easy little 3D quilling project: the ABCD's: Ant, Bee, Cat and Dog!
Each dome was made using 15, 3mm
sized strips,rolled into a tight coil, then gently pushed out. Once the
dome was made and glued, I made another tight coil using (maybe?) 13
strips- just so it was a little smaller to fit snugly inside the dome.
From here I stuck on 2 tiny feet- using 1 strip- at the front to make
them sit up a little.
The eyes were made using 3
strips,with half a strip of black to make the outer edge. The pupil's
were made with a trusty old hole punch.
All sit at about 2.5cm (1in). The
basic shape of these little guys is so versatile, ready to be made into
anything- just add the embellishments! The possibilities are endless!
Alien Duckling Brothers
cool character
The characters from the addictive strategic puzzle video game-
All the birds and pigs
are around 2.5-3cm (1-1.2in) tall, and only 3mm strips used. The
sling-shot and logs were made with varying lengths cut to what I needed.

Some quilled items
This little wicked witch... but I guess she was off on her broomstick doing whatever wicked things witches do.
How super cute is this little avatar from the Wii game- LittleBig Planet!
