Quill Snowflakes

Tools and Materials

• 8 strips of quilling paper, 3/8-inch wide and 4 1/2-inch long
• 
Quilling needle or round toothpick
• Clear-drying craft glue

• Metallic thread

1. Fold each strip of quilling paper so that one of the halves is about 1/2 inch longer than the other, and curl the ends. Repeat with seven more strips.

2. On a flat surface, fit pieces together with their points in the center. Using tiny dabs of glue, attach pieces together in pairs, and then join the four pairs. Let glue dry, and attach a piece of metallic thread to hang ornament.

Tip: Use glue sparingly on quilling paper; dab it on with a toothpick to control the amount.
