How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
To make a snail you will need:
- a round wooden base Ø 10 cm
- heavy cardstock A4 size (220 g/m²)
- strips of quilling paper
- an electric roller
- quilling glue
- a quilling board
- white acrylic paint and a brush
- 2 googly eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- a black marker
Step 1
Paint the round wooden support with white paint.
Step 2
Insert the end of a special quilling paper strip into the slot of the metal tip of the roller.
Step 3
While holding the paper strip in place, press the button to activate the winder.
Thanks to this very practical accessory, the paper strip winds up in just one second!
Step 4
Place the paper roll on the tray and let it take the shape of the chosen circle.
With this tray, it will be easy to create well-calibrated paper rolls in the sizes of your choice.
Step 5
Place a dab of glue at the end of the strip to "close" the roll and thus allow it to keep its shape.
Step 6
Make approximately 30 rolls of paper in assorted sizes and colors.
Step 7
To make the snail's shell, glue your paper rolls with the quilling glue onto the wooden support.
Step 8
Place the shell on a strong colored card and then draw the body of the snail using a pencil.
Step 9
Cut the body of the snail following your outline, then glue the shell onto it with quilling glue.
Step 10
Glue 2 googly eyes and draw a smile using a black marker.
Step 11
Cut the snail's tentacles from a sturdy card and then glue them behind your creation.

Customer review
I didn't know about quilling. I was eager to receive the tools to try this activity. I was not disappointed, and neither was my daughter (who is only 4 years old). She definitely needed my help to make the little rolls, but she did quite well. However, 30 rolls were a lot for her. We did it in two sessions.
Je ne connaissais pas le quilling. J'avais hâte de recevoir les outils pour tester cette activité. Je n'ai pas été déçue, ma fille non plus (elle n'a pourtant que 4 ans). Elle a bien sûr eu besoin de mon aide pour faire les petits rouleaux mais elle ne s'en est pas trop mal sortie. Par contre, 30 rouleaux, c'était beaucoup pour elle. On l'a fait en 2 fois.
