MULTI-SPIRAL

Emily, 8 years old, made this multi-colored spiral just for fun by rolling more than one strip at a time.

BUTTERFLY

You can use any colors you want for this butterfly.

Just make the top curls looser than the bottom curls.

Pinch each curl once on the outside edge.

Glue them together in the middles.

For the antennae, you'll just take little snips of a curl, and glue them, too.

MOUSE

Emily, 8 years old, made this mouse out of seven curls altogether.

The two big curls are the head and body.

Pinch the head curl once for the nose.

Tighten the nose, hand and foot curls before you glue them on.

TRAIN

This looks harder than it is.

Just pinch four curls into squares, and glue them together.

You may want to glue them shut -- that is, glue the loose end down onto the curl.

Then pinch the smokestack into a rectangle, and glue another curl into a triangle.

The wheels are just tight circles. If you can't roll them tight enough, just cut some of the curl off.

Other ideas:

Make clouds by making white curls on a blue piece of paper.

Try an all-white quilling project.

Using all squares, try a checkerboard quilling project.

Glue your quilling project onto a stiffer piece of paper and frame it!
