Instructions to make the Quilled Rainbow Craft for St Patrick’s Day:

1. We’ll do this project in two parts – making the coils and assembling them. You need only loose coils for this craft.

2. Take a 6″ quilling strip and use the slotted quilling tool to coil the entire strip. Push the coiled strip out of the tool and allow the coil to loosen up. You can keep the open end as it is or you can also apply glue to close the open end.
