- Lots of great paper quilling skills to learn while watching this letter M come to life! This monogram includes cool things like tulips (inspired by Sena Runa), ombre curved strips, scrolls, a swirl, and tight coils with NO HOLE! Timestamps are below as well as my supplies list. Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday Mika! (Officially a teen)

So pretty! LOVE the tulip as well. My favorite flower.🌷
Thanks! I love tulips too, I wish they were longer lasting, but I guess this is a way to make that happen.
Just beautiful ....No other words ! 👍
So nice, thank you for that!
This was amazing!!!! You did an awesome job!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with all of us!
Thanks! Glad to share ideas with the quilling community.
cute, will try this... thank u for sharing
I absolutely love your style! Thank you for sharing all these lovely videos.
Aww, thanks for that!
Le tue lettere quillings sono come una poesia che tocca l'anima.
Le tue parole sono più belle del mio quilling. Grazie molto!
Gorgeous! Another beautiful project!👏👏
Thanks Dara! This will be a month of quilling videos and I start branching out with my letter designs with next week's. I'm excited!
Annigan Creates awesome! Good for you!!

(du Québec) Elles sont magnifiques vos créations
Je ne me lasse pas de les regarder.😃
Merci beaucoup. J'espère faire un autre projet de quilling bientôt. J'ai l'impression que ça fait longtemps que je n'en ai pas fait.
Antigen, your work is quite beautiful!! I know your daughter will love 💘 it. You know I'm going to copy cat your gorgeous projects, lady. I am going to make them for my grandchildren. I hope you don't mind.
Of course I don't mind! What a wonderful compliment.
Annigan, thank you for your response. It eases my mind. By the way, please excuse the spelling of your first name. The auto-fill feature at times can be more annoying than helpful 🙄
@@chrisg.1548 Ha ha, yeah I got a kick out of that! Autofill strikes again!
This is really beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Schmancy! You've got skills.
Thanks MMMudrick! You need one of these.
Hi you do such a great job explaining and You have great talent as well. How long does it take you to complete one letter. I am thinking to do letter M and thinking about using a black background and vibrant colors for filling the letters w quilling. Do you have something like this thanks 👍
Thank you! I think this project took me 3 days to finish. Sometimes it's longer, depending on how much time I have available to work on it and how quickly inspiration comes! I like your idea of a black background and vibrant colors. I've seen some terrific flower quilling projects like that. I think you should try it! I haven't done that myself, but I am planning on doing something a little bit similar, with a dark gray background with red and gold quilling on top. I'm trying to decide if I'll do that for my next project, or a different idea.
This is beautiful. Thank you
Thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!! ❤ Your daughter has such great taste! I would have picked the exact same elements to have in mine 😬😬 What will she/you do with it now that it’s complete?
Hi! Sorry about the slow reply. I don't always get notified about comments below comments and I came across this just now by accident. Glad I saw it! I ended up framing the letter and my daughter keeps it on her dresser. The other day she had a friend over, and she showed her the letter AND they sat and watched the video. I felt like a Cool Mom at that moment, ha ha!
This is wonderfull, congratulations!
Thank you, that's so kind
The work you do is beautiful. Thank you for the video. I did subscribe. Also do you give classes online?
Hi, thank you! I do not give classes. I guess these videos are my way of teaching.
@@annigancreates6074 okay thank you. Do you plan on doing a same video for the letter G?
You can certainly take the elements you like and work them into a G. Just like how I took parts of other projects to make this M for my daughter. I've done a letter G video if you're interested, although it's a very different design. czcams.com/video/75mwXt00KnA/video.html
I love trying new things. Have fun!
I love the flowers!
Thanks Jaden! I think the flowers add a lot to the design!
Have you done any more quilling lately?
Not much, but I’ve been practicing making the pieces.
That's really good! I decided to make the letters for birthday presents - it keeps me motivated. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't do much with it if I didn't have a specific purpose. Maybe you could make cards (birthday, get well), I've seen some cute ones out there. Actually Mika likes doing butterflies and they're pretty cool. I've got a butterfly theme for next week's letter...
beautiful 😍
So nice, thank you!
Awesome work. You really inspire. What font do you use?
Hi thanks for the comment and question. This M is close to the Georgia font which I think is a common Microsoft font, should be easy to find.
How do you go about measuring the strip sizes for the inside of the flowers since it's so small?
It will often be a bit of trial and error. Try something and see if it's the size you want. The quilling for this letter is all fairly small and doesn't use up a ton of strips. I do keep a bag of scraps for things I tried and it didn't work out in that instance, but I might use later. So it's not wasted effort.
You are doing nice work
Thank you!
Hello I'm lovin 'it. What is the size of the letter M and how do I do it? Do You have a template or tutorial?
Hi thanks! Good question. This letter M is about 3in x 3in not including the flourishes. With the flourishes, it's 6in long x 4 in wide. It fits inside a 5in x 7in framing mat. Unfortunately I do not have a template, but I recommend watching one of my outline videos that show how to make your own! It's empowering and you can do any letter you want once you learn how. (czcams.com/video/j7NqRW7y3Xk/video.html) "Georgia" is a font that's very close to this style, but you should widen out the legs for more quilling room. Hope that helps!
Muy linda Letra quería saber cómo hizo la letra y el material de que ancho se hace Gracias ❣️❣️
¡Sí! Corté tiras de papel de cartulina blanca de 5 mm de ancho para el contorno de la letra. No tengo un video de esquema de esta letra C, pero puedes ver mis otros videos de esquema. Muestran el mismo proceso. 😊
Please please! Will you tell me how I can get one of those circle templates?!?
Sure thing! I got mine from a beginner's quilling kit. Here are a couple options:
Juya - www.amazon.com/dp/B017BFL6JU
Tuparka - www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4D6LZ1
Both of these kits come with a template, plus strips and basic tools. It's funny, I don't remember using the template in this video, but I'll have to go back and watch it, ha ha! Hopefully I got your question right. Let me know if I misunderstood! Thanks for the comment!
@@annigancreates6074 thank you so much. Order placed.
Update. Received my template - and a whole bunch of papers and a new quilling tool and new quilling needle tool and a new 3d bowl maker with the pointy end instead of smooth round ends. I got a lot for my money. I am very happy with my purchase from your reference. Thanks again!
I just ordered the Juya just for that template! I have learned so much in a short amount of time from watching your videos!!!
Well thank you for watching and commenting! Glad to help fellow quillers!!
Thanks beautiful
Thanks for the comment!
just magic...
😄 Thanks! It's funny, I was just looking at a picture of a real flower and thinking the same thing. Maybe I'll try quilling it someday.

Très belle lettre
Merci!
hello me encanta tu trabajo puedes subirlo con subtitulos por favor princess
Hola gracias por tu comentario. Creo que debería poder activar los subtítulos para cualquier video haciendo clic en el pequeño "cc" en la esquina inferior derecha de la pantalla. ¡Espero que ayude!
Me encanta esta técnica quiero un patrón de la letra B
Muchas gracias! Tengo un video de la letra B.

Es en un estilo diferente, donde hago la filigrana encima de una letra plana.
Do you have a how to book with design samples?
Oh, if only I were that awesome. I will add it to my list of things to do.
How do you make the “M” form?
Hi, thanks for the question. Here are a couple videos that show how I make letter outlines. Although not specifically for the letter M, the steps are the same.
czcams.com/video/j7NqRW7y3Xk/video.html
czcams.com/video/o-jqnSzg7Mo/video.html
What if you don’t have a light box for making the letter frame? Do you have a different tutorial?
If you don't have a light box, then your quilling hopes are over. JUST KIDDING!! I like to use a light box, but it's not necessary. Here are 3 other ways that I've seen it done.
1 - Using your computer and a printer, print a letter outline directly onto the paper you're quilling on. Just make sure it's a thin light line. Now you can glue right on top of the line.
2 - Using 2 sheets of paper stacked on top of each other, the bottom one is blank, the top has a printout of your letter shape. Trace the letter on the top sheet, pressing hard enough to leave an imprint on the blank sheet below. Quill on top of the imprint.
3 - Using a pencil, sketch your letter on paper and quill right on it.
Please dont cut your paper strips in the middle of a line as you have done in the top and bottom of your M in the left side. It shows very clearly. Always cut your strips at the end of a line.
Very nice tutorial.
Yes that's probably true. You're talking about creating the letter outline, right? And having the transition between strips happen at a corner? I do like having a bit of overlap for stability and unfortunately that shows up no matter where you put it, but I agree that it's better at a corner instead of the middle of a straight section. Although, I may have started off doing it in the straight part for ease. Thanks for the comment!
@@annigancreates6074 No it doesnt show up no matter where you put it. Study the work of Sena Runa. You dont need overlap for stability. You create stability with the strips that are within the borders of the letter outline.
This was yet again another fine video highlighting your skills, imagination and willingness to alter your plans. I so enjoy your narration and sense of humor.
Now, then….about the loud, obnoxious, jangling and totally annoying Muzak….I respectfully suggest you consider getting rid of any music in your background. My view is that it detracts from your otherwise impeccable approach to fun and adventure with quilling. 🦋
Thanks for the feedback! I wish I could get everyone's opinion on that sort of thing. I felt like I always needed different music for each video and the selection wasn't always great, was it?
