Thank you for the tutorial. I have never done this before but think I found the one thing I would enjoy doing as I have been trying to figure out something like this for years that I could make for family gifts.

Thanks for this sharing! How long the strip need (at least) for making a freeform? I tried, but when I pull it to make a shape, it became a terrible one T__T

Maybe six inches or so is a good start... any length is fine though depending on how big a shape you want when you are done. It just takes practice is all.

I just make a regular, slightly loosened circle, then I put my thumb and finger on the top and bottom (flat sides) of the circle and pull them to one side. Then I glue it, either between the circles inside or underneath the whole shape. Wish I had the means of making a youtube video; it would be way easier to explain that way!

Awww I used to do quilling when I was younger, except I used a toothpick instead. It was fun to teach to the littler kids. ^_^

So, to get the shapes like the teardrop, petal, and oval (basically, anything that isn't a scroll shape or tight circle), you make a loose circle and push it around a bit?

Yep! Just pressing and pinching. I should have included a picture of one in the process of being pinched...

Wow, sounds simple(r than it looks).
That might have been a helpful demonstration to add.
