Make a Quilling Kit for Kids Less Than 8 Years Old

A friend of mine wanted something awesome for his kid who is 6 years old. A quilling desktop card came to the mind. But handing over a sharp tool like a quilling pin to a kid less than 8 years old is totally a no no, considering the safety. So I decided to make the parts before hand and give it as a kit to the kid.

Step 1: Materials

Modeling board for the card

Quilling strips

Quilling pin

Glue

Computer and printer to print out the cover

Step 2: The Card

Cut out a modelling board size will be 4inchx6inch.

You can use your own size as required

Cut a triangular piece as the stand from another board. I used 2 inchx5 inch piece. Cut it diagonally and you get the stand.

Using scotch tape attach the stand to the back of the main board and you are done with the board.

Step 3: Quilling Pieces

We need to make

5 petals

1 s shaped strip for the stem

3 bullets (tight rolls) for the center of the petals and the fruits

2 flat shapes for the leafs

Step 4: All Comes Together

Assemble the pieces one last time ( no gluing) to check if we are missing anything.

Collect the pieces into a packaging thing. Please use your imagination for packaging the things.

Step 5: Print the Label

Preferably use a laser printer to print the label. You can also use a ink jet printer. Just make sure the ink does not smudge.

Step 6: All Comes Together

Assemble everything together and put them into some kind of packaging and you re done to give it to a kid. I have not included any manual as the images on the label are self explanatory.

Step 7: Final Output

The kids have the just open the packaging and glue the quilled pieces to make their own personalized cards.
