The other choice

So I knew I would have some students that didn't want to do quilling, and I had a couple of them that had done it before.  There lies the problem with a few of them taking my classes every year.

So the alternative project that I gave out was weaving.  I know what you are thinking, that is so easy.  Why even try quilling if the other option was weaving?  Well I did make it challenging.  They either had to weave unusual mediums together, or they had to find some way to make it complicated.  Of course most chose to create a material out of dried house paint.  If you have never done this, it is kind of cool.  I bought a board to do it on this year, but waxed paper does work.  So anyways, you spread a couple of kinds of house paint out into a big pool of area and then let it dry.  Depending on how thick you make it, it might take a couple of days to dry.  Once it is dry, you can cut it into strips.
