Homecoming Mums and Quilling

I just found your site and love it. As a Yankee grandma in TX it is fun to see what this younger generation is doing. My granddaughter is in cheerleading and I was looking at the mums and boy what I forgot.

Also looking for stuff on Quilling?

Hi Madaline,

How nice of you to write and let me know you are enjoying The Artful Crafter. Thank you.

I don’t know which of our Homecoming Mum Articles you found, but we have over 20. Makes me think I should write a book on the subject!

As for Paper Quilling – or Quillery, as it used to be called – we have an article on the basics, as well as instructions for Quilled Earrings and even a recipe for Quilled Pastry Hearts.

Recently I've seen handmade cards with quilled shapes on the front, as well as gift tags and small plaques. The shapes are really cute and intricate-looking, yet surprisingly easy to make. In addition to paper and pastry strips (lol), think about other materials that might be quilled like lightweight aluminum or copper.
