April Ampersand 18


This quilled ampersand has been waiting to be posted for far too long.


Have you tried quilling yet? It's a super satisfying project that can take as long as you want it to take. The trickiest part of making something like this is the measuring and drawing the ampersand shape. The kraft paper shape is a little tricky to get to stay together and standing up in the right position, but then filling it with the white curlicues is pretty fun and speedy.


And then it takes about 3 more minutes to take the frame out of its packaging, pop it open, and drop in the ampersand.



Want a little quilling in your life? You can get one of these ampersands or another monogram in the Anderson Ink shop.
