Create a bouquet that never wilts! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the art of paper quilling: rolling, shaping, and assembling colorful paper strips into elegant floral designs. With step by step guidance, you’ll craft a custom bouquet of quilled flowers, choosing your own colors, styles, and arrangement to match your personality or a special occasion.
