I've pre-measured every side and curve of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Each number corresponds with a template pattern below. Just like my first book, Pretty Quilled Cards, you won't need a ruler or count a fraction of an inch. Just lay your strip on top, score, snip, and you're ready to fold, then glue.
It's much easier to follow along a template when quilling letters.
Use a dried up pen to trace on top of my template to leave a score line on your work surface.
I've also filmed a video showing how to outline the letter A. Follow along with me by downloading the template to outline the letter A.
Another video showing how to quickly and easily fill the letter will be coming soon.
I hope my book helps you with your next quilling type project – I love hearing about how you've been inspired to try quilling too! Please leave a comment below or any advice you may have to help me improve my next videos.

Hi Cecilia,
ReplyDeleteI am interested in your quilling letters ebook. Before I purchase the book what size are the letters on the templates? And are there any instructions on dimensions to use for letters of different sizes? Thanks
Hello and thanks for asking! Before buying, you can try the letter A for for free. Here's the link to download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tI94ONkfN5oBsMfNS3Q6c5rK_cKLGNg6/view?usp=sharing
DeleteThe letters are almost 3" in height because this allows the letter O to be made in a single strip of paper, if you are cutting your own paper from an 11" length sheet.
Here is a video showing how to reduce the letters: https://youtu.be/IJtxlNpj5q4

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
