Accessories are always our first love, regardless of whether we are a girl or a boy. It wouldn’t be unusual to find a girls treasure chest filled with different earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Likewise, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find a guy’s drawers filled with bracelets, chains or watches. Yet, these days, with the rapidly rising prices, it is common for many to abandon their passion and love for these little things. So, how to save money but also hold on to your love? Simple! Make them yourselves. So, here is a short and simple tutorial on how to make a pair of polka dotted jhumkas.
Materials:
Quilling paper
Slotted quilling tool
Fabric glue
Quilling mould
Toothpick
Gesso paint
Brush
Polka dotted tissue paper
Scissors
Mod Podge
Head pin
Beads
Cutting pliers
Round nose pliers
Hooks
Method:
1. Take a long quilling strip.
2. Start rolling the strip using a slotted quilling tool by inserting the end of the paper into the slot and then rolling the tool using your hands while holding the paper so it rolls around the tool.
3. At the other end, apply some glue and stick a different coloured quilling paper on it and continue rolling. Stick two more strips of the same colour together and continue rolling.
4. At the end, again, stick another strip of quilling paper of the first colour and continue rolling. Apply glue at the end of this strip and stick it in place.
5. Now, use a quilling mould an placing the rolled up quilling strip on top of the mould of the proper size, gently press down until it gets the desired shape.
6. Apply some fabric glue on the inside of the shaped quilling strip and spread it evenly. Let it dry.
7. Now, using a toothpick to hold the dome-shape, paint the outside of the quilling paper using some gesso paint and let it dry too.
8. Take a polka dotted tissue paper and cut out the polka dots.
9. Now, apply some mod podge on the outside of the dome-shaped quilling paper using a paintbrush.
10. Paste the polka dots on the dome. Apply a layer of mod podge over it again and let it dry.
11. Insert the headpin into the hole at the top center of the dome from inside the dome and then insert two beads into the pin.
12. Cut off the headpin in half using a pair of cutting pliers and then bend the headpin halfway using a pair of round nose pliers as shown.
13. Insert a hook into the bent headpin and bend it the rest of the way and tighten it using the pliers.
14. Make another similar jhumka.
15. Voila! Your Polka dotted Jhumkas are ready to be worn.
