On the 11th Day of Quilling - Spreuer Angel
On the 11th Day of Quilling we made a Spreuer Angel.
If you need help, please click for Spreuer Instructions. Please note: I was trying different things when I was trying out how to Spreuer, and for this project I worked from right --> left, and that will be reflected in the numbers I give you.
For this Angel, we do the following:
Wings (make 2 of these)
Wrap your strip, right --> left
Start 8 - 7 - 6 - 7 - 8 End
1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) coil heart, attach to wing
Bodice (only 1 of these)
Wrap your strip, right --> left
Start 15 - 14 - 13 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 End
2 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) S-scrolls to make a Kissing S-scroll, attach to top of bodice
For her face
1 - 24 inch (60.96 cm) tight coil
1 - red and 1 - green approximate 3 inch (7.62 cm) each strip
Start by wrapping the red and green in Spiral shape together, approx 3/4 of the way
For remaining 1/4 of the way Spiral individually
Attach to top of tight coil
Attach face to bodice and wings
Please use picture for placement and guidance. I have also provided a picture before the decorative elements were placed for assistance.
Enjoy!
