Make beautiful refrigerator magnets using paper filigree. Kit consists of approx. 100 brightly coloured strips in 12 colours, 3 round wooden bases, 3 magnetic strips, glue and toothpick. The paper strips are about 3mm or 1/8th of an inch wide. The idea is to form the coloured paper strips into shapes by curling, twirling, bending and folding them. The finished shape is then glued on edge onto the backing which could be a card or a magnet. A variety of pattern templates are provided to introduce quilling as a craft. This is a great way to improve hand/eye co-ordination. Once you have absorbed the basic concept let your imagination run riot and make lots of other colourful patterns. Ideal for boys and girls. |
