I have been wanting to try quilling for a long time. I went to Hobby Lobby several times with all intentions of buying the starter kit and I always went home empty handed… well, without the starter kit. Really… who leaves a craft store empty handed? But all that changed when I was surfing the web and found Yulia Brodskaya’s website. Be sure to check it out, beautiful work!! Now I have the starter kit and here is what I have learned so far.
1. The school glue is much too thick, Mod Podge works much better!
2. Mod Podge dries really fast, work as you go!
3. Gloss Mod Podge shows up on matte paper. This is a “duh”, but it is something you don’t think about when your kids are napping, the hubby is entertained, and you have 46 minutes to craft!
4. Rinse brush OFTEN. When applying Mod Podge, the glue will dry in the brush and it will be useless quickly! Also, the color from the quilling paper will transfer to the brush… to your white paper background. Nice.
This is a really fun craft! I am already in love with it! AND Quilled Creations has colored paper, metallic paper, graduating paper… need I say more? This is the beginning of many more blogs on this section!
P.S. My first creation… The Four Seasons… Coming Soon!
