falling in love with quilling...

i know life can be monotonous when you are in a call center industry so employees like me would think of some ways to make the most of our rest days enjoyable.

some would prefer to travel...
some would go clubbing...
but i'd prefer staying at home, watch movies and if i'm up to it, i'd make scrapbooking projects :)

it was when i realized that i have been spending too much money on embellishments that i decide to think of other ways on how to look my projects look more beautiful... i decided to buy punchers, paper stickers, tracing materials and finally my own quilling kit:


September 30, 2012 :: I got this from Country Crafts for Php169. It has a slotted quilling tool, quilling papers, photos of simple quilling projects,  gift tags,and toothpicks

From wikipedia.org "Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. The paper is then glued at the tip and these shaped coils are arranged to form flowers, leaves, and various ornamental patterns similar to ironwork."


:: first scrolls practice, practice and more practice !
:: quilled flowers

now who say's spending rest days at home aren't fun? think again...

happy quilling everyone!
