How to quill a semi-circle

A semi-circle is created by taking an open coil and pinching two corners while leaving the paper above them round. This shape can alternatively be made by pressing an open coil onto a hard surface like a table top and sliding your fingers down the sides carefully. Try both methods to find which suits you best.

Curving the straight edge of the shape will allow you to turn the semi-circle into more of a crescent moon shape.

How to make a quilled square or diamond

To make a diamond or a square, first need to create a basic marquis shape. After shaping, rotate the marquis 90 degrees and then pinch both sides again. This will create a diamond shape. If you want to continue on to making a square, gently open up the shape between your fingers to complete.

Square variations

Playing around with how much of each corner you chose to pinch when creating your square can give you very different results.

Yet another variation can be made to the square shape by applying pressure to the outside structure with the use of your fingers or the stem of your quilling tool.
