Sidenote: I am going through all my little used craft supplies to see if I want to continue keeping and using them...the operative word being 'using'. I figure that if I am not interested in using craft things, I may as well give them to someone who is interested.
Back to quilling...if you check out Pinterest you will see a wide variety of quilling presentations from very easy (which is what I tried) to extremely beautiful and detailed. I enjoyed what I did today but I ask myself...'If I only quill once a year, does that make it worth keeping?'
Quilling is not an expensive hobby. Here's what you need: Paper which comes is a large variety of color waves, a quilling tool, scissors and glue. I also like to have a pair of good tweezers as well as the mat for both sizing and pinning...
The quilling tool is on the left in the top picture. It simply has a slit in the metal end piece in which you insert the paper strips and wind. I like the hole sizer because it helps to create uniform circles.
So here's what I made today...
And here's a close-up...
Well, I haven't come to a decision about quilling yet. It takes very little space and I could use it in other crafts such as inchies and journals. I am not interested in making a detailed quilling presentation at this point but I have to say that I did have fun today.
So, what do you think? Are you a quiller? Think I should keep the supplies?
Thanks for visiting...
Talk to you tomorrow...
