I think it’s really important for me as a mom to have some sort of hobby. Having a hobby gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me feel good about myself. That positivity in turn rubs off on my children when I spend time with them.
I’ve always loved to do different types of artwork. Not only do i get the sense of accomplishment but I also have a beautiful piece to look at and feel happy about. Lately I’ve discovered quilling which is the art of rolling paper.
Having got some practice I tried to do something more complex.
The kit is very inexpensive so you don’t have to worry about that.
Then I turned to making earrings which are a lot of fun to design and make. And the bonus is that you get to wear them!
There are a lot of YouTube tutorials which I watched to learn how to do this. I’m having so much fun!

These are very cool! Can you find them at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s??
No I live in Bahrain! I’m planning to have an Etsy store in the future. Would you like me to ship them directly to you (You’re in the US?)
I am in the US. They would be great on Etsy 😊
Wow! these are wonderful, Zainab! I never heard of this until now. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you! They’re so much fun!
I am a fellow quiller myself!!!!
Great! Would love to see your work. You can see my latest work on https://www.facebook.com/Zainabs-quilled-creations-1235311993264753/
I just hopped onto your page!! Those are great. I love the butterfly earrings and the Fall candy corn colored ones. I don’t have a Facebook page with any work, so this is a link to my Instagram. I hope it works! https://www.instagram.com/p/BWydHAtgQ3a7aD9US6r_agqvhhvuur3XJVE-zU0/
Unfortunately it didn’t work. I think you just have to give the username. Mine is http://www.instagram.com/zainabs.quilled.creations
I couldn’t figure out the Instagram thing…..but I just wrote a blog post about a quilling project I recently completed! https://threecatsandagirl.wordpress.com/2017/08/21/quilled-day-of-the-dead-skull/
