When the coil is released, the inner coils will spin around and create what Licia Politis calls a vortex coil - a good name for it! The next day, slide an opened jump ring through each ring coil and slip on an earring wire. When adhering coils to one another, apply glue sparingly with the tip of a pin, paper piercer, or use a fine-tip glue bottle available from quilling suppliers. It is a beautiful art of rolling narrow strips of paper into different patterns and designs.
Your girlfriends will be thrilled at how lightweight and comfortable they are to wear, not to mention surprisingly durable; they'll even weather New Year's Eve!
I ordered my favorite precision slotted tool (blue one in the supplies photo) from Japan, but it isn't a necessity. The vortex shows best in a densely quilled coil with lots of rotating spirals, so don't skimp on the length of the strip.

Allow glue to dry for a few minutes, turn earrings over, and apply reinforcing dots of glue to all join spots with the tip of a pin. Close jump ring, wear, and receive compliments - no one will believe your golden earrings are made of paper! A slotted tool available in craft stores and from any online quilling supplier costs a few dollars. If you prefer your coils to not have a center crimp, use a needle tool (wooden handle) or substitute a stiff wire, tapestry needle, or corsage pin.
Combining circular or ring-like patterns with bee-hive quilling paves way for perfect earrings.
