Today, we discovered that an interested six year old can in fact quill just as well as any other beginner! Marie's latest creation (still a work in progress) is featured above. Most of her coils were fashioned painstakingly around a quilling needle, because we mistakenly thought that this would be easier, but the neat round circles at the top right and left were formed in her first attempts at using a quilling tool.
We also confirmed that, when it comes to beginner quilling supplies, less is more. Using only the materials shown--a package of 1/4 inch quilling paper in pastel shades, a quilling tool, and a bit of tacky glue, we stumbled upon a simple and lovely design to honor "the fairest of queens, in the fairest of seasons, sweet May."
We hope to post a picture or two tomorrow!
