Free Quilled Spinning Top

This is a fun project for the whole family... A Quilled Spinning Top!

This pattern is created using a round toothpick to wind your quilling paper around.

Take a round toothpick as your starting point.

• Begin approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) from the bottom


• 1 - 48 in (121.92 cm) Blue tight roll. Glue the beginning of the strip directly to the toothpick.


• 1 - 24 in (60.96 cm) White tight roll. Glue the beginning of the strip directly to the toothpick directly under the blue roll.


• 1 - 12 in (30.48 cm) Red tight roll. Glue the beginning of the strip directly to the toothpick directly under the white roll.

In order to achieve the correct balance and allow your Spinning Top to spin, you must cut the toothpick to approximately 2 inches (5.08 cm) in length.

Now you can begin spinning your top!

Enjoy!
