On the 9th Day of Quilling - Fancy Ornament

On the 9th Day of Quilling we made a fancy ornament. Tried to keep this one simple, with mostly loose coil shapes.

To make this project you will need:

• 4 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) green teardrops
• 5 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) white teardrops
• 1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) red teardrop
• 3 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) red diamond
• 5 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) red loose coils
• 11 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) green loose coils
• 7 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) white loose coils

When making the ornament, please refer to the picture. Starting at the top and working or way down, do the following:
To make the flower:

• Place red loose coil and place 5 white teardrops (rounded end glued to red loose coil) to make a star shape.
• Place 4 green teardrops between white teardrops (pointed end glued to red loose coil)
• Glue 1 red loose coil to the top of the flower

Bottom:

• Row 1 - Glue 3 green and 3 white loose coils, alternating colors
• Row 2 - Glue 4 green and 2 white loose coils, alternating colors
• Row 3 - 4 green loose coils
• Row 4 - 3 red loose coils
• Row 5 - 2 white loose coils
• Row 6 - 1 red teardrop, glue rounded end to row 5

To attach the top and bottom use the 3 red diamond shapes to attach them as shown in the picture.

I hope you like this project.

Enjoy!
