I will give the student some project choices before the class begins. I offer fun seasonal projects that go along with holidays. Take a look at my one-time quilling classes for ideas, and I'm also willing to try *new projects if your learner is very passionate about something in particular - example - specific dinosaur, planet, vehicle. This is a one-time private quilling class devoted 100 percent to the needs of the student. This class is perfect for a first time quiller. Students will feel proud of their finished product and they can give it as a gift, or keep it. 

*If your learner is requesting a quilling project that I've never practiced before, please register for this class two weeks prior, so I will have time to practice. :-) 

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 needle 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. 


Learner Supply List:
colorful quilling paper strips, copier paper, or construction paper 
white liquid glue
scissors
pencil or quilling needle
blank note card (if making a card)
cardstock (if making a little poster)

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 $18.
