a Youtube that showed putting straight pins around the edge of the quilled strips to make the letters.\u00a0 The paper showed every single pin mark so it was awful.\u00a0 The glue technique I used didn&#8217;t work either and glue showed everywhere.\u00a0 Thankfully there was a second pattern in the kit so Joy might get it by her next birthday in December.\u00a0 Sigh&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>See what
