2) Roll the strips into shapes using the Westcott General Purpose Template as a guide. With stick pins, secure the rolled piece inside of the template and on the piece of foam core. Then use another stick pin to apply a little drop of glue to secure the end of the rolled piece and allow to dry.

4) Next cut several rectilinear shapes of cardstock with the Westcott TrimAir Wide Body Trimmer. Arrange and secure these pieces onto another piece of cardstock with school glue, to create frames for your quilled shapes. Then glue your quilled shapes onto the rectilinear shapes and set aside to dry.

Adult supervision is recommended when children use scissors.
