Hello everyone! This time I made my favourite minion with 3D paper quilling.
So, I am not going to write much about the method of making
the minion in this post. I have described the procedure for a regular minion in
my earlier post on my new found love for paper quilling. The basic procedure
for this is the same. Also, since I have painstakingly made a detailed video
for my youtube channel, I wont get into the procedure here.
This post is mainly for those who would wish to recreate the
minion. To give them an idea about the specifications of the strips I used.
So
as you can see in the picture below. For the body, I need the following parts.
1. Tight orange coil: 5mm strips, 7 in number
coiled tightly with the quilling tool
2. Tight green coil: 5 mm strips, 7 in number
coiled tightly with the quilling tool
3. Yellow hollow coils- 3 in number- 5 mm strips, 2
attached in each and coiled with the ring coil tool
4. Black hollow coil- 1 in number- 5 mm strips, 2 attached
and coiled with ring coil tool
5. Green hollow coils- 2 in number- 5 mm strips, 2 attached
and coiled with ring coil tool
Please refer the video to see how I assembled the body of
the minion.
For the eye, I used the 5 mm strips but I cut it in half for
the width, i.e., I used roughly 2.5 mm strips. The cut in half was made
roughly, not specifically measured. I attached the following strips to form a
long one before making a tight coil
1. Black: 3.5 cm
2. Brown: 7 cm
3. White: 19 cm
4. Grey: 6 cm
For the frock, I used one 5 mm green strip.
For the pigtails, I used 1 orange paper strip which I cut
lengthwise to form 2 cones, 2 pigtails. Similarly for the hands I used 1 yellow
paper strip cut lengthwise to make 2 hands. The black part of the hands I used
5 mm black strips of 7 cm each and made a tight coil.
For the feet, I used 2 brown strips (5 mm) of 19 cm each and
made tight coils and flattened them as much as possible.
The sleeve of the green dress I used one 5mm green strip of
1.8 cm length. But to make two sleeve I divided this strip lengthwise into half
to make two thinner strips
I used some small cut outs of black and yellow for the
finishing, black for the smile and yellow for the fringe. The yellow was more
to indicate the area without the fringe.
