Quilling Paper Acorns

August 17, 2016

Quilling paper acorns, although totally and completely adorable, aren’t really a new design. There are a bunch of quilling paper artists designing and selling paper acorn ornaments that are just lovely! But when I was brainstorming new autumn quilling crafts, it dawned on me…. I could make a quilling paper acorn with real acorn caps! This post contains affiliate links.

I am a huge fan of mushrooms in design elements. They’re so earthy and homey; simple and fresh. I think they even have a sort of cozy-rainy day feeling, that makes you want to curl up with a cup of tea and a book. In fact, one of the first items I put in my Etsy shop was a quilling paper mushroom and it remains one of my favorites to date. I am so excited to share a tutorial on how…

In my last post, I featured how to quill paper bumblebees. These were the very same bees that I use for my love bug gift tags. It’s only fitting that I also share how I made the quilling paper ladybugs that were the other half of that set. I think they’re adorable in their own right. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that both red and black quilling paper are needed for these little lady bugs. And they are…

It’s been a fairly mild, dry summer in Delaware so far this year, and my family and I have been spending tons of time enjoying the outdoors. Because of all our outdoor adventures, my kids have started being more interested in all the plants, flowers, and bugs that we’ve been finding along the way. They’ve inspired me to revisit some of my designs from last year, like the custom beehive I created and also my quilling paper bumble bee gift…

I’ve been having a lot of fun coming up with new tutorials for my “How to Make Simple Quilling Paper Flowers” series, even though this type of quilling is pretty far out of my wheel house. It has been pretty interesting researching flowers and plants, while trying to recreate them out of quilling paper. And it’s really sparked my spring fever! But this time, instead of showing a couple different types of flowers, I’m focusing on only one, the lily…

After writing my last quilling flower tutorial about daffodils and flower buds, I decided to go bigger this time. So, for this post on how to make simple quilling paper flowers, I chose the plumeria and lilacs. The plumeria is much larger in size and the lilacs grow in mass quantities. Everything is just bigger this time! The exotic plumeria that I’m quilling grows in red and white, but some of the colors are amazing! (Seriously, Google them if you’re…

When I decided I wanted to make a new series of quilling tutorials about simple spring flowers, it was only fitting that I would start with the Daffodil. Daffodils are the flower that my husband surprised me with on our very first date. I’m pretty sure he plucked them from his parents’ yard, but it’s been a sweet symbol for us ever since. We also planted some in in the front garden of the house that we have lived in…

With on of my family’s favorite holidays, St. Patrick’s Day, coming up, I thought I’d take create a tutorial for how to make a quilling paper shamrock, but with a twist. Instead of the straight-forward clover leaves formed from teardrop coils, I went a step further to design my shamrock to be built on a quilling comb. I also decided to use two colors of green quilling paper, a pale celery green and a deeper leaf green. The only other…
