Writing multicolored letters










Materials needed:




You are going to be using all 3mm wide and 10 cm long multicolored quilling paper strips. 
The basic quilled shape that you are going to use is a loose circle. You will then be shaping each loose circle according to need. 
Procedure: 

The first thing I did to make the logo was find letters to use as a model.
The first ones I found were these 8 cm high letters



With these letters I wrote what I wanted to say in my logos,





but they seemed too big. 
I placed these letters on a white sheet of copy paper and then took a picture of the words. 
With the computer, I reduced their size to 3 cm high and made a template on another white sheet of copy paper.

 

Using different color 3mm wide and 10 cm long paper strips I made plenty loose circles. 



I placed these loose circles on my template and, one at a time, I shaped these circles with the help of pins.   
I put as many shapes and pins as needed to form each letter. If you scroll down I will have detailed pictures to show you how I did it.


The first line in my logo reads “Crafty Lucy’s”



After finishing the first line I decided to change the typeface.
This time I used some wooden letters, also 3 cm high, which I found in a store that sells craft materials


With these letters I wrote the words to see how they looked,



After deciding that I liked it, once again I wrote the necessary words on a piece of copy paper, carefully tracing each letter on a regular sheet of copy paper.





Using the same method I used to write "Crafty Lucy's", I "wrote" the words “Tips, Quilling, and Tutorials.”




















As I have 3 blogs, the final work took 367 circles and 429 straight pins. 
Once I removed all the pins, this is how the words look like.  




All this work took me 7 days, working about 6 hours each.  The "writing" of the words took me 4 days. 

Now I have to quill an owl for each blog and finish the logos.

The method of using straight pins to help you shape letters may be used in any project where you are tracing/filling shapes or areas on a drawing.

I hope that this tutorial was useful. I wish you a happy quilling!
