Fall is upon us and it's time for some new quilling designs! Here is a tutorial for beginners including fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving inspired quilling.
If you don't know basic quilling shapes you can look them up. If you would like me to do a tutorial on basic quilling shapes please let me know!

1. Pumpkins

Step 1: Make three 12" orange loose coils

Step 2:  Make one into a marquise shape by pinching both ends of the coil. For the other two make a crescent shape by pinching the center and curving the ends to look like a half moon.

Step 3: Use a dot of glue at the bottom of each coil and firmly place together.

Step 4: Glue the top of each coil together.

Step 5: Pinch the pumpkin to make a more round shape.

 Step 6: Make one 4" brown loose coil. Then pinch one side to make a teardrop shape. This will be the pumpkin stump. Glue to the pumpkin.

Step 7: Make one 3" green leaf by using the same technique as step 6. Glue to the pumpkin.

 Step 8 and 9 : Make one 5" and one 4" green vine. Glue to the pumpkin.

Enjoy your pumpkin!
