Heya folks!! It's been quite sometime since I shared a tutorial with all of you.
Today I would like to share a project regarding “How To Make Basic Shimmer Crush Glitter Jhumkas.” which are always in trend to add glam to your fashion and stand unique everytime….This is for all who love traditional accessories. so lets begin with few steps on making jhumkas…
Materials required:
#Quilling strips (3mm or 5mm depending on your choice)(5–7 strips to make a dome)
#Fevicol
#Quilling mold
#Quilling tools
#Tooth picks
#Itsy Bity’s Shimmer crush glitter (you could you any glitter powders you have)
#Itsy Bitsy’s decoupage gloss glue.
#Earring findings (as per your wish)
#Thermocol base
#Paint brush
Method:
Step.1: Roll togerther 7strips of 3mm quilling strips. Give it a dome shape using the quilling mold. Make sure the dome is smooth and doesn’t have ridges. Apply fevicol to the underside of the dome and let it dry.
Step.2: Once properly dried for 1 hour. Insert a toothpick to the underside of the dome so that you can hold it easily.
Step.3: Apply a coat of decoupage gloss glue and sprinkle a uniform layer of Summer crush glitter powder. Try to tap excess away as much as possible.
Step.4: Leave it to dry for 1 hour on the thermacoal base. Once dry use a paint brush and remove any loose particles of the glitter powder.
Step.5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 two more times for a good coverage.
Step.6: Once satisfied with the coverage, apply a uniform coat of decoupage gloss glue and let dry. Once dry apply a coat of varnish.
Step.7: Lastly add your earring findings to complete the jhumka.
I have been very reluctant to make jhumka's. I myself don't accessorize much so the last time I made jhumka was maybe 2 years ago for a order. This time I had my friends asking me to do them. So here I am with my attempt at quilling jhumka. Yup these are made completely from paper. I would love to hear what you all think of this attempt.
This is a pic loaded post and scroll till the end for the video tutorial for the Quilled Decoupage Jhumka's.
I had help from fellow crafter Janani who made a video to show me how to make the quilled dome bases. Thanks a ton gal :*
I initially used 3 mm strips now have shifted to 5mm strips to make the quilled dome bases. I am really happy with the way these Jhumka's are turning out.
I started of with simple jhumka's. A classic combo of red with gold. Red Riot it is.
Then came in the idea for decoupaging on the jhumka surface. As its a dome I couldn't use bigger patterns so I searched my stash for the smallest flowers possible to make these.
The result is awesome and is loved by everyone.
Now for the best part of the post.
