a little quilling and a little baking…

By Lorraine

Paper quilling is a craft using thin strips of paper. Create flowers, tendrils and sweet little hearts to decorate and embellish all kinds of projects.
For Valentine’s Day I made some very sweet heart pendants from paper quilling.

Inspired by a post on all things paper, Ann Martin has, along with her many beautiful creations, a very clear tutorial for learning this craft.
