PLAYING WITH SHAPES AND COLORS 2:

Once again I have been playing with shapes and colors. 

In the present post I am showing you how to make Mandalas 3, 4, and 5.

 

You can see Mandalas 1 and 2 under the title “Playing with Colors and Shapes” in my blog  Crafy Lucy's Quilling.  However, I did not write a tutorial of how to do these 2. 

I believe that after making mandalas 3 to 5 you will be able to figure them out.

First I will show you the shapes you will be making and then I will proceed to explain how to make Mandalas 3 to 5.

 You will need the following tools/materials.

SHAPES 
.

All the mandalas are made with 5 mm wide paper strips of paper of different colors and lengths.

Of course you can choose your own  preferred colors.

For these mandalas you will be making these shapes.

Remove the quilling tool and allow the roll to uncoil in circle 4.

Tall “V” scroll with a marquise:

 Loosely roll one end of a paper strip half-way down. 

Flip the paper and loosely roll the other end toward the center until it meets the loose coil made from the other end and forms a "C" shape. Do not glue.
