Quilled Snowflake Part 2


8) Coil one of the two inch pieces into a tight circle, let it spring loose and glue down the end, then pinch twice to get a pinched elipse. Repeat with the other five pieces.







9) Now take two of the legs and dip the smaller, less curly ends gently in the glue. Press against the large circle so they lay opposite one another.









10) Glue the other four legs around the circle in the same manner.











 11) Now take out your little hearts. Gently glue them into the center of the curlicues between  the snowflake legs, as shown.










12) Now you're going to need to work around the circle, gluing the side of the heart to the leg piece a total of 12 times. Work one leg at a time, applying glue about half an inch up the leg on either side, then press the heart against it.








13) Now you need to take out you teardrops. Apply some glue to either edge and press it into the middle of your heart shape. If the curlicues on your heart are really far away from one another, you may need to unroll the curled bits a little to get them close enough to press together. Do this in the center of every heart.






14) Now, in the center of each snowflake leg glue your pinched elipsi. (elipsies? I have no idea.)












15) If you want, you can coat the whole thing finely in glitter glue, or use spray adhesive and powdered glitter. Then hang on a bit of monofilament or thread. You're done!
