Quilling Club: Paper Art Creations

🤩Welcome to Quilling Club! In this ongoing weekly class, your learner will be challenged and have fun socializing and enjoying a variety of quilling projects. Each class is a different project, so students may join the class at any time. There is no prior quilling experience needed for any of the club projects. Each week I will cover the basic quilling shapes that students need to know for the project of the week.

What is Quilling?

The art of quilling, which dates back to the 1500s, is using thin strips of colorful paper and turning them around an object to make coils. You may have recognized the root word “quill”, which is a feather, formerly used as a pen when dipped into ink. The original art form used quills to turn the paper around to form the coils. Instead of quills, these days people use quilling tools, pencils, or toothpicks. People that practice the artform of quilling are often called quillers. 


Why try Quilling?

People choose to learn quilling for multiple reasons. First off, the historical artform is beautiful. The supplies are basic and not costly. Even the kits, when purchased, are not expensive. Quilling promotes hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills in children. It boosts creativity in people of all ages, and promotes gift giving, as the projects make lovely cards and gifts. Lastly, almost everyone reports that it makes them feel relaxed and calms them, so it’s very beneficial for those suffering with anxiety. 


✂️For each class, students will need the following:
-paper of various colors (construction paper, copier paper, or quilling paper) Please go ahead and cut the paper strips before class begins, to approximately 5mm wide strips. The colors needed will depend on the project of the week. If you're unsure of the project of the week, please see the class details or message the teacher. 
-white liquid glue 
-scissors
-pencil, toothpick, or quilling tool
*If your learner has quilling tools, that is great, but it's not required for this class! 
If you do decide to order your learner a quilling tool set, I would like to suggest this one that I purchased from Amazon for around $20. https://a.co/d/1txp2Pq




**Parents should keep a close watch on their child during this class, since craft supplies are involved. Some quilling tools and scissors are very sharp. Please closely monitor and help your child as needed.
