Simple Quilled Paper Bonfire Craft For Lag B’Omer
Quilled paper crafts are a great way to make a unique piece of art, and the results are always quite impressive! This quilled bonfire craft for the Jewish holiday of Lag B’Omer is really quite simple, and perfect for kids as young as six or seven. Of course the older kids will make versions that are more skillful, but perfection is not the result, we’re looking for the joy of creativity! So get out the paper and cut some strips, or buy some ready made quilling strips, and that together with some glue, a black paper background and some wooden skewers is all you’ll need for this wonderful craft. This…

Large Quilled Leaves Using A Quilling Peg Board
Looking for a large quilled leaf to add to your quilling project? This one is roughly 3″ long, and its skeletal shape makes it great for pairing with more dense quilled elements. This week I have been experimenting with some quilled leaf shapes, some which I’ve made using tutorials from others, and this one which I made up myself. Now, I can’t say I love it as much as the quilled leaf sprigs I shared yesterday, but this leaf is much larger and could certainly represent leaves from many kinds of plants, I’m thinking roses, or even thistles. Using my simple instructions, you can also come up with some leaves…

Shavuos, the holiday of greenery is coming in another month, so why not start quilling some lovely leaves? Paper quilling isn’t one of those crafts that you can whip up quickly, but it is oh so lovely, and can be done in spare moments just about anywhere, so give it a try! These little quilled leaf sprigs look so fabulous that I just couldn’t stop! And since I have the excuse of recovering from our recent travels, well, I just kept making more and more. I have seen that many quillers make large quantities of quilling elements that they keep in nice little divided boxes, so truthfully one could start…
