Bridget suggested that they only bring half the class next time so maybe that will go better. - Good luck!Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-60398379692141017912016-02-06T08:29:44.481-08:002016-02-06T08:29:44.481-08:00I think I made a number of people smile with my ta...I think I made a number of people smile with my tale of woe. I don't envy people who work with kids - I can't handle the noise. I am doing a quilling workshop this week and hope to have time (and remember) to take photos. You should try it - it is fun!

Most card makers use cardstock I believe but I use regular printer paper that I paint on both sides with thinned acrylic. I cut out my own shapes, usually three decreasing size petals, bend the petals gently and glue together alternating the direction of the petals. While still wet, place the glued flower on something soft - rolled up paper towels or a foam pad - and press down in the center with the thin end of a paint brush. This makes the flower sort of 3D - set aside to dry. Have fun!Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-49295152880754065662016-02-06T06:26:35.345-08:002016-02-06T06:26:35.345-08:00Wow - thanks for the heads up, Val.

Having been a teacher I can imagine the enthusiasm of an entire class coming in...being prepared for that many isn't easy, but you sound like you worked it out. Too bad you didn't get a chance to take some photos...but I know you must have been kept busy. lol I love the quilled cards.

You gave me pause here as I think for Paul Valentine's Day I am going to try to quill - also on the petals are you just cutting and folding? Should I use card stock or construction paper?Nelviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270512609434415587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-9485712292585695222016-02-05T22:05:49.953-08:002016-02-05T22:05:49.953-08:00Thanks Sheila.
