About this course

Learners will need to access the course using a device with a working camera. They will also need to work on a flat surface.
Learners will need quilling paper which can be purchased very cheaply from eBay for as little as £2.60 and in craft shops such as Hobby Craft.
I would encourage learners to strips of paper 3mm, 5mm, 10 mm. Quilling paper is usually sold in multi-coloured packs and these will provide the range of colours for the pieces we will be making.
Learners will also need a Quilling pen/slotted tool which are also available on line eBay or from retailers such as Hobby Craft from £2:00. It is important when purchasing a quilling pen to ensure that the slot is visible and this will depend on an individual’s eyesight.

Learners will also require the following:

PVA Glue such as ‘Sticky Glue’,
Cocktail Sticks or similar to use as glue sticks,
Stiff card for mounting. Dark coloured card show quilling pieces off to their best advantage,
Tweezers,
A small amount of thin cord such as cotton or fishing line will be useful to hang the window hanging we will be making.
Ruler
A receptacle for glue such as a plastic Yogurt top, or a small amount of baking paper or a small square of polythene.
