I recently went on a family vacation to Costa Rica. While there, I noticed all of the cute hand-made souvenirs and thought, "Hey, I can make some of these!" These quillings are for my scrapbook. I plan on doing some other Costa Rica-inspired crafts sometime in the future.
My supplies were purchased from Michael's and JoAnne's craft stores.
(Side note - don't ever buy anything full price from these stores, there are always deals and coupons!)
-Slotted quilling tool, approx. $4
-2 pkgs 250 multicolor quilling strips (1/8" by 12"), approx $7 each
-I used 12"x12" scrapbooking cardstock for the black and cut my own strips
-Glue
-Toothpick for applying glue
-Sewing pins to hold the shapes while the glue was hardening
Here is a site I found helpful for beginning quilling:
