A few months ago my neighbor turned me on to paper quilling.  Paper quilling is a really cool and unique art form that involves curling paper with a small tool, and then forming it into different shapes.  It is great for scrapbooks, wall hangings, card making and all sorts of other things!  

I decided I wanted to give it a try, so I ordered myself a kit.  I made an 'ABC' framed picture for my best friend, Heather's, new baby.  Here it is!


I found that quilling isn't nearly as hard as it looks!  I'd love to try making another one!  I suggest that anyone who loves to craft give this a try!  It is so fun!  Here is a great website to buy a kit at:

Have a great day!  Try something new!
