Quilling Snowflakes with Zahra Ammar

In this workshop, we will begin with a snowflake pattern that can be used as an ornament, a wall hanging, or made into a special handmade card. We will go over some basic tools and quick overview of how to make quilling shapes. Then, we will create and put together a snowflake or two and discover the creator insights on how this can look more delicate yet strong. Some tips, tricks and embellishment ideas will also be discussed. In the end, you will leave with a beautiful piece of craft as well a gazillion ideas on how you can put your own spin to this!
