4th - 8th Grade Paper Quilling

Paper quilling began in the Renaissance and was picked up in Colonial America. It is done by rolling and gluing thin strips of paper into assorted shapes and gluing them down to create figurative or abstract designs. The 4th through 8th grade students tried their hands at this unusual craft, coming up with some highly original pictures including some strips that worked their way into the three-dimensional realm.
