Quilling Classes for Beginners Preschool and Elementary Schoolchildren

The aim of our classes is to teach preschool and elementary schoolchildren basic quilling elements (drop, arrow, tight spiral, free spiral), make compositions from simple to more complex, get pleasure and be happy.



Needed Materials:

Double-sided paper (size A), from which long strips 5 мм width are cut.
Wooden toothpicks (tips are cut off and small incisions are made).
PVA glue.
Additional materials: cardboard, colored paper, pencils and others.

Qilling Technique

1. To make any quilling element a strip is inserted into an incision and wound tight on a toothpick.





2. Take off a roll from a toothpick and untwist it to the needed diameter. Kids do it by eye.



3. Glue the outer end of the strip and leave it to dry.



4. Make various quilling elements performing compression and dents.
