Snowman Christmas Quilling Kit by Wizardi F07M3-6-Snowman

Quill a snowman, a Christmas quilling kit by Wizardi: a round snowman of tightly packed white coils in a red Santa hat and long red scarf, with an orange carrot nose, black eyes and stick arms, on a black panel with Merry Christmas lettering, snowflakes and stars.

A little crafter's folklore: children say a snowman built on the first snow day watches over the house until spring.

Why this kit: if you like a character piece, the snowman mixes several coiling techniques in one design.

In the box: an A4 panel of 350 gsm art paper (210 x 290 mm) printed with the line drawing on a black background with the Merry Christmas lettering, pre-cut quilling paper strips in every colour you need, a quilling pen, tweezers, glue and a quilling template board for sizing coils. Not included: a frame and scissors.

How to make it: wind each strip around the quilling pen into a coil, let it open on the template board to the size you need, glue the end and pinch or loop it into shape; then glue the coils edge-down inside the printed outlines, filling one area at a time, following the finished picture on the pack.

A cosy holiday project for adults and teens, and the finished panel makes a Christmas decoration to frame or hang, or a personal gift for family and friends; make one each December as a little tradition.
