What in the world is this new kind of quilling that has taken the hobby industry by storm lately called “paper filigree painting” or by the company name, “Uniquilling”??!
In this step-by-step tutorial video, I will take you through the entire process…from tools to tips, tricks and techniques that I learned along the way during my first paper filigree painting project.
Here are some of the topics I will cover throughout this video:
1: What comes in the kit?
2: Tools & Other Optional Recommended Supplies
3: Prepping the EVA Foam Board
4: What Kind of Glue Is Best
5: Having The Most Success With The Tools
6: Reading the Pattern Booklet
7: Demonstrating How to Measure, Cut & Place the Paper
8: Working with Shapes & Curves
9: How-To Handle the Paper in Tricky Spots
What can I say? I'M OBSESSED!! I want ALL of the kits (let’s be reasonable though…these projects will take a while 😉 to complete after seeing how long the tiny circles took in the center of those flowers, right?! 🤪) But I have learned a lot of tips & tricks along the way with my first Paper Filigree Painting, so I knew I needed to share that information with you.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful and worth the wait. ;) Be sure to subscribe while you're here, so you don't miss a thing!

I know this is an older video but by far your video is THE best in explaining each step and showing us all how to do it ourselves. I love how you methodically went through your list of recommended supplies to help make this project go smoothly too! Love this project and you are pretty darn amazing! Thank you!
Your video is wonderful. I happened to have purchased from the same company. The board looked like it hadn't been cut deep enough. After watching you, I understand why it was not very deep. You also thoroughly explained how to do everything and I mean everything. Thank you!
Pinterest showed many quilled pictures of this art form and I immediately fell in love with “quilling.”
Presently quilling my son’s and his new wife’s wedding announcement in this technique. My husband drew the picture and am thrilled with his interpretation. I am obsessed to say the least!!!
Using a stylus to make my own grooves.
Thank you so much, just got my first kit and you comments about backing it first will be invaluable
Thank you so much for the clear instructions, and tips. I used a cardboard to glue the foam board on and it worked. I will start today with the kit, can’t wait.
Thankyou just bought butterfly first time you helped me a lot ! I will keep you informed
I hope you’re successful with the help from my video! Please let me know how it goes ☺️.
I just got my 1st kit today. Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for the tutorial - exactly what I needed.
Perfect!! I’d love to know what you think once you’ve had time to really get the hang of the technique. 😊
Thank you for your videos. The trick with the hair dryer worked wonderfully. I can't wait to start. I bought two kits three months ago and I am excited now that I have time for them. Craft on.
I absolutely adore paper quilling, and then I discovered uniquilling!! Oh my gosh. I am so enamored, my only problem was I didn't know how to do it! Then I found you. Thank you so much for going one step at a time and explaining the little things. I have a seven year old grandson, so I can relate. I hope to have many pleasant videos in my future!
Yes! I was exactly the same…I haven’t done quilling in years, although I have a kit here to do for review. As soon as I saw the new Uniquilling kits, I was like “SQUIRREL!” Lol! I have looked up every company and every kit…although I did purchase from one other (soulnecklace), I have not received anything nor seen any movement on the tracking in weeks. So they will probably be getting a “Scam” video soon. Anyway, I’m in love with this. I am so happy you found my video!
This is my very first one. Thank heaven I found this wonderful video because the kit gives you nothing more than which color goes in which line. Nothing about which glue to use, none of the techniques, no information on mounting or Anything Else. Thank you Melanie!!!
Great tips! Thank you! So glad I saw this before I started!
I just received my first Uniquilling project. I was surprised it did not come with specific directions. I was very happy to see your videos. They were very informative and helpful. I can't wait to get started on my cardinal.
Oh, thank you for that feedback! I was trying to cover every issue that I faced while I was learning. I was hoping I didn’t overlook anything.

Loved your tutorial
Hello again Melanie,
Last night I attempted my quilling set once again and by the grace of God it began working well. I don’t know what occurred when I had made my first attempt previously which was just some hours prior. Even my hubby tried assisting me and he as well did not get through with it but I decided to try again last night and it was a success. Also the tweezers began working properly as well. I am using the glue that you recommended in your video.
It’s amazing how it wasn’t working out at first and then just hours afterwards it was a major difference. I am enjoying it tremendously. I do humbly apologize for not giving it more time before I had sent you my first msg on it by stating it was not properly made.
Thanks for all the tips! Now I understand
thank you so much, i just received 2 sets of the quilling but there were no instructions at all, your video showed me what i need to do, thanks again
Glad I could help! I don’t understand the lack of instructions, however!!
ThNk you so much for you expertise I have had my unquilling for a couple of months being to scared to start but now I can follow your instructions ❤️❤️
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS! I just got my first kit and I get the gist of it however your tips are going to be tremendously helpful 💕
You are so welcome! I thought they did a great job showing the concept through their videos, but I felt like there had to be more to it. I’m glad I “investigated further”. 😂 (Mounting that foam proves to be invaluable…even though I still fight to get that sucker flat. 🤪)
Thank you very much for your love, we will work hard to create better works!
I love your kits! It seems that a lot of people are very interested in your kits and want to see more. ❤️❤️❤️
I have a laser cutter and a lot of Quilling paper strips and I really like the idea of combining them! Thank you!
Yes, what a fantastic idea! I love to do things myself when I have the time, so if you have the ability to do this yourself…I say “GO FOR IT!” I want to know how it turns out though 😬.
Super helpful - thank you! Starting my kit tonight 😊
Another awesome video!
Thank you. This was very helpful. Im getting ready to do my first kit and needed some good instructions 🙂
Thank you so much for this detailed how to video! I didn’t get any instructions on my first just a picture of the completed look and a 1-8 color guide! So this helped me a bunch on how to start!
Thank you for that amazing feedback! This video took forever to record, and I am so happy it was worth it. 😊🥰❤️
I’m trying to learn this art. I hope I can get started on something simple first.
Excelente!!! Parabéns de Portugal 🇵🇹
I ordered 3 different kits and they arrived today!!!! Eeeeke! Thank you for your video on these new kits! This was awesome! New subscriber as of today. Be blessed.
I have the lady on bike, just started today oh boy! It's harder than I thought, so here I am trying to get tips so I don't just leave it in the cupboard. Happy filigree.
😂 At first I was thinking, “What have I gotten myself into?!” That’s why I decided to do the video…so everyone else wouldn’t be thinking the same thing. Lol! I hope you haven’t stashed it away, and this video helped you learn some helpful information!
Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
Such an excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching and for that amazing feedback! 🥰❤️
Okayyyyy....that's beautiful!! I may have to take a break from painting and try this... 💕💕 thank you so much for giving us an update on this new hobby...painting with paper
I KNOW, RIGHT?!? I’ve been trying to get this video finished and uploaded, because I was so excited & then I got the sickness my hubby had and my voice went out. Ugh! I was so mad. 😂 I just wanted to share it so badly. I was so antsy to show everyone this concept. I’m glad to know what you think too ❤️❤️❤️.
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio it's just beautiful.... I appreciate hearing the tips you've learned and can now share...I pray u stay well
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi, I'm a newbie, Just found your video. I just bought a kit from Amazon, my 1st one, not from Uniquilling, and it didn't come with an instruction booklet. It has a color chart with 12 colors. For never doing or seeing one, it is very confusing. Your video helped answer a lot of questions. Guess I just have to dive in LOL. Glad to know about the glue and the mounting board, I would have never known. Thank you!
Hi from Canada. I used to do a lot of paper tolle. If glueing the picture onto a backing is difficult for some, try using double backed carpet tape. Kathy
Next to 3 Shades of Gray, this is the best video you have ever done! I can’t wait to get started on mine…37 years from now. 🙄
I feel that! 🤣 I’m still working on the Logan custom for last Christmas. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
This is a beautiful kit. But I have too many Crafts already 😅😅. I may try it in the future. Thank you for sharing this video! Enjoyed!
Great tutorial- I’m about to start my first picture. 🎉
Wonderful! I’m so happy you found it helpful!
Hello just recieved my first kit today thank you for such a great video you are very informative and it was great and i also just purchased your swatch guide that is so helpful thanks again
Oh, thank you so much for the purchase of the guide AND the wonderful feedback! I appreciate it so much! 🥰
Awesome video as always. Can't decide which ones I want to do. The flowers you did in this video is a must have. Going to start off with one that doesn't have as much quilling first. Great another craft/hobby/mental well being thing to get into ;) Thanks so much for doing this video as well as the jumping whale. Can't wait to see more.
I want THEM ALLLL! It’s funny how I have been sooo good and hadn’t spent any money since April. (No, seriously!!) Then I saw these kits, and I was like, “Well, they gave me a coupon, so I’ll buy three bc I can get free shipping.” Then I had another coupon for a review…and I bought three more. Then they let me pick a free kit for my review……you see where this is going? 🙄 Let the hoarding commence…🤦🏻♀️ I have the flowers, the whale, the stocking, the blue dragon, the seahorse, the parrot & the elephant (side view). It’s a sickness. There are so many I want!
Thank you for the tutorial. I bought a kit but the instructions were not even close to yours at explaining..so this was great!
I haven’t purchased a kit in years, but I’ve been reading comments that the instructions are lacking or are not included any more. I am so happy to know this video has been able to help you get through the process!
I got a dragon head kit and what worked for me with the rolling foam canvas issue ....I got a price of card board and I used velcro to hold the canvas straight and flat worked wonderfully before using welcro I was going nut and waisting tapes and everything else u could think of lol
Oops spelling errors the word price should be peice
Thank you. Your tips, tricks were invaluable. I've received 3 kits, the 1st I will work on is the elephant's head. In as much as this will be a gift, have you any thoughts on "dustproofing" the finished product? Mayhaps spraying with ScotchGuard or mounting in a shadowbox? I'd love to hear your ideas.
I just finished my first uniquilling last night. I started out filling the color code but then went to working from the inside out because the little circles in the middle were hard to get to after all the petals were done. Next time I’ll do more bends.
You are so right about those little middle circles! 🤦🏻♀️ What a beast those are to get to once you’ve placed the outer ones.
I just heard about uniquilling in my DP group today. It looks so interesting and your tutorial is great! I love dping and find it so relaxing. I’m not quite sure I’d have the patience for uniquilling. Maybe I’d try a very beginner one.
If you have patience for DP, you’d be fine with this hobby. Maybe you could try one of the 8x10 kits as a starter piece. (I don’t have any affiliation or make any commissions if you buy one, by the way, I’m just really obsessed 😂.)
It's beautiful, so many great tips for when I try my first one!!
Thank you for your videos, they have helped me lots, mostly on the paint by numbers cause I'm new in the hobby!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I didn't know about the fb group, I just sent my request, thank you for letting me know!!!
I hope they have accepted your request in my absence. I have three great moderators!
Fantastic video. I have just discovered this craft but had purchased three from another company (which didn't supply any instructions and no detailed pictures like the one you are demonstrating). So glad I found your tutorial and found a better source for these types of kits. Thank you so much for taking time to try different glues and let us know what worked best for you. Also for all the tips and tricks you learned along the way -- I'm sure it will save us all lots of frustration. One last thing, I LOVE, LOVE your ring (the wide band with the two smaller bands on top). Can you please tell me where you got that??? Thanks again!! Awesome video. I have liked and subscribed!!!
Thanks for the video! I know this is an "older" video, not-so-new craft, but I JUST discovered paper filigree/ uniquilling. I am obsessed with diamond painting, so I thought I might like this too. I don't have drawing talent, so I was glad to find this video about uniquilling, which I think I can do because the tracks are so helpful. I haven't tried uniquilling yet, but after watching your video, I think I'll give it a shot. Your video is so helpful explaining all the tools & techniques, best practices/ tricks and hacks (like the gluing the EVA foam board to foam presentation board. I do have one request/ critique about the video; when flashing text across the screen to explain something or give more detail about a step, it would be helpful to have the text displayed for longer time. I kept having to pause the video, drag the video progress bar back and replay that screen and the text flashed by so quickly, I usually missed it the first time and had to replay it. As a slower reader, it's harder to keep up when text flashes by and disappears too quickly, make it frustrating to watch a video like that if I have to keep backing it up and find that spot in the video and replay it. But otherwise informative and fun video.
I think since I published this video I started leaving text up longer for this reason. Thank you for your feedback, as it is truly helpful! I hope you have UniQuilling a try. I love the 3D effect it has when completed!
Thank you for watching this in-depth video!!
Noooooooooo! I needed to see how to make the waves for the whale one! Lol. I bought the whale one.
Hello Melanie
I watched your instructional video and I liked it very much. You explained clearly and thoroughly. I purchased a quilling set for the first time and attempted to try it out today. Unfortunately, it was horrible. It’s made in China, the coloured paper is flimsy unlike yours and the tweezers are even holding the paper properly, it was defective. Also, they didn’t even send the instructional map so I had to use my discretion by just looking at the picture of the parrot. The slotted pattern on the foam wasn’t even deep enough and the paper was not sticking. It was badly made.
May I please ask your opinion in selecting the best quilling set that’s available for a beginner such as myself.
I'm so happy I found you, Melanie! I was getting ready to purchase a kit after seeing the ad, and I found the link to your "legit or scam" video. (Btw, I knew about The Three Billy Goats Gruff" fairy tale right away. 😁) I can't wait to get started on this and am so appreciative of all your trial and error tips! 💕
Have you done any with really tight curls yet? I bought a monogram one from another company and they have so many small curly Qs that it’s driving me absolutely insane. I don’t like to quit projects but I might throw in the towel on this one…
Can you tell me where I can purchase the board you glued it too? I can't wait to start the owl I purchased ty so much for your video made it so clear on how to do it

Unfortunately I got my kit from Milo Quilling. Essentially identical except when I turn over the color guide, there are no numbered sketches that correspond to where the color goes on the outline. Your tips are definitely needed. These are time consuming projects. I gave up and went back to quilling without the slots. Its much more forgiving! LOL
Received my kits 2-3 weeks ago. Tried to work with one but just could not get the hang of it, almost threw it out. Thank you very much. You have given me tips and tricks to try again. Must have been when they were more expensive. I paid $100.00ish for three kits. Thank you again
These are worth it. I’ve ordered two from other companies to do videos on, and spent the same amount, only to be completely disappointed! I’ll be doing videos to let you all know who to avoid.
I've just received 3 kits (not sure where from as I ordered them a while ago) and I have no instructions just a coloured picture. Thanks so much for this video as I know sort of know what to do 🙂
Very cool , where did u say we can find some ?
I appreciate your tutorial, my 2 pictures did not come with a picture chart to follow for colors or directions of any kind!!!
Has anyone tried to gluing it to a thin piece of wood or paneling? I don't think it would bend that. Also, another thought would be to put a stitch in each corner using a thick string and then hide a few within the picture? I know it would be loose in spots but that may give it enough movement room so it won't bend but give it enough stability. I've never done one of these before but VERY intrigued.
My only concern with attaching the foam to wood or paneling is that there is so much acid and lignin in that material that this piece would yellow and deteriorate so quickly. The foam board I used is acid- and lignin-free, so that’s why I immediately went that route…just because of this being a delicate type of artwork. I may need to come back in another video and address that topic. I’m a huge believer in preservation, and I know some people don’t worry much about that, but when I spend a lot of time on a project, I do want to try to preserve it as long as possible. The stability of wood or paneling would be great, but the EVA foam against it is something I need to look into further…🤔.
First if all hats off to you this looks a little too cumbersome, I have done quilting, but this is so intricate, the kits are pricey. Looks like a lot of measuring , I m not sure I would want to do it. Gonna take more research
Thanks for the tips, I've just received my first Uniquilling kit and saw your unboxing video on their website. I've done some conventional quilling but was attracted to their gorgeous designs. Can't wait to get started! Have you framed your finished piece? If so, what did you use? I wondered about a box frame, but they come up quite deep (and expensive!) or maybe just a conventional frame without the glass.
I haven’t completely finished mine yet, because I’ve been recording a lot, and so I haven’t framed it, but I have a plan though…here is what I was thinking.
First, I definitely recommend anti-reflective glass or high-end acrylic (I was a custom framing Manager at Michael’s for two years before TH-cam), so I’m all about seeing my artwork behind the glass/acrylic. The thing is that these will definitely require some kind of glazing (glass or acrylic) for protection, because the EVA foam attracts everything but men & money. 😂 Also the layers of paper will be dust-collectors but will be impossible to dust without damaging the piece, so I was thinking I would get a 16x20” shadowbox or display frame when Michael’s (or HL) has their amazing buy 1 get 2 free sales, or something really great like that, and use those. The piece should set down deep enough to allow for the 3-D art, and if it needs to be set closer to the glass, I can add a layer or two of foam board behind it to lift it. What do you think of that idea? Right now Michael’s has a white shadowbox frame for $24-25. White would set of the colors of the flowers in this piece…and since there is no black or gray, white would be my first choice. A custom frame could cost a couple of hundred dollars, and as much as I LOVE custom framing, I ain’t about that life for this project. 😂 I will go to the custom framing counter and upgrade my glass from the glass that comes with the frame to the anti-reflective kind to prevent the paper from UV damage, discoloration and moisture.
So that’s my plan. Eventually I would like to do a video on that. Maybe I can get Uniquilling to send me one of their frames so I can see how theirs work and whether it’s worth the extra cost to purchase at the time of placing an order.
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio Hi Mel, thanks for the reply, and the suggestions. I hadn't thought about the dust-collecting issue, but you're so right! I'm in the UK, so would need to look for different suppliers. I've found a couple on Amazon which seem suitable, without being extortionate! They come with acrylic as it's safer to post, and not so heavy to hang - 16"x20" is quite a big frame. As you say, the depth is a bit of an issue - it needs to be deep enough for the paper, EVA board and backing board without being so deep that the effect is lost. Do you think it would be possible to use the backboard of the frame to stick the EVA board to, to keep it flat?
@@nickyfarnell3207yes, I think you could use the backboard of the frame to attach the EVA foam to. Anything that won’t bow or bend easily. Lol! That stuff is the devil.
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio I've ordered a box frame from a family-run framing business that sells on Amazon in UK, I'll let you know how I get on!
Yes, please do! I asked Uniquilling if they would be willing to send me one of their frames for demonstration, so that I can share how theirs works. I haven’t heard back from them, but it may be worth them donating one to compare to other options. If it is worth it, it would keep us from having to go through the trouble of finding alternatives.
Hello. Can you show what the final steps are? Does it stay in this foam? What does it look like framed....
I ordered a kit and not too impressed with the foam as a background....there is a lot of background in the one I bought, orange cat
What's the difference in papers like can I use simply colored paper or construction paper? Does it have to be quilling paper
Hi I am new to this and would love to make my family and friends a card, but how would I post these without damaging the picture?
Thank you 🤔
I made the mistake of ordering a Wolf head kit from a different source. I got most of what you show except the scissors and complete instructions. My kit has 12 colors listed on a single page with a picture. The colors on the picture don't match the paper strips so I don't even know where to begin. I wrote to the company and explained my dilemma and the only instruction they sent was an email showing different ways to create filigree shapes. This was supposed to be a birthday present for my daughter and I am at a loss how to even begin.
Any tips on how to frame the finished project?
So she glues it to the back of a 2nd self adhesive EVA foam board?
really cool :) how wide are the paper strips ? thanks
1cm…so wider than usual strips.
I went to Amazon and looked at all the beautiful kits! What is the difference between a basic; DIY and PRO kit? I can't figure it out except the cost is more for each one.
I didn’t go into that in the video, because they don’t offer those on the website now, but the Basic is the one I showed…the DIY comes with 2 sets of everything (including the tools) so you can have one for you & one for a friend, child or spouse & the PRO kit has the same as the DIY kit but includes a frame also. From what I understand it only includes one frame though.
Hi where do you get you your quilling patterns from ? Lv ur work 38:54 38:57
These come from Uniquilling .com. I don’t make the pattern (thank goodness 😂), this company already has the design cut into the foam, so I just had to take the strips and put them into the slot. ☺️
How do you frame your finished work
I just got my first one and its an eagle that’s mostly black white yellow and some various blue waves. I did not get any white and i got a lot of other colors. Im not sure what to do
Did you contact the company? It sounds like you received the strips for the wrong kit…like maybe the blue whale or something?
I keep getting comments about not receiving the instructions or proper strips…?! I don’t know if everyone is purchasing from UniQuilling, which is the kit I bought and used, but I always had a great experience from the ones I purchased. I hope they haven’t dropped the ball since I was buying them, because I just bought all of mine…I didn’t make commissions or anything from their company. I think they ended up sending me two free ones after I told them I made this video and they saw I had purchased 15 kits 😂.
I can tell you this…and you should not have to do this…but you can buy packs of quilling strips from Amazon. The ones in the UniQuilling kits are 1cm, according to their website.
My biggest fear in trying something like this out is that I would start it and never finish it. How long does it take start to finish?
How do you frame these?
Where can I purchase small ( card size) filigree with the pattern. I love unquilling but all of the “ canvas” are too large.
How in the world do you go in-between the work you've already done without crushing the pieces surrounding? Newbie here with chunky fingers and shaking hands.
Where to get the outline pictures!?
I purchased a Filigreat several months ago and just discovered they didn't come with the key. The company is now out of business. Any ideas?
I would think embroidery scissors would be perfect for this. Especially for people with bigger fingers (like me😢)
They are absolutely the PERFECT scissors for this kind of project. I have “chunky” arthritic fingers, and I struggle with this kind of detail work now, so the embroidery scissors are the perfect kind to get down into the tight spots.
I bought the hummingbird one. The pattern starts at number three on the sheet so does that mean it doesn’t have 1 and 2?
What?!? Well, that’s is confusing! Have you tried to email the company or maybe make a post on their Facebook group with a question about that? I’m sure the pattern guide must be missing a page.
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio there doesn’t seem to be anything missing. On closer inspection of the picture, the eye was the only spot where white and black could go. So it’s all good.
Does anyone know of a company that can customize a piece for me, but i want to do put it together
New subscriber. I just received 9of the filigree paintings but I got no instructions with them.
I just received the LETTER D (from Craft Hub). I’m hoping this shows me how as no instructions were included 😞
I hope you can get some advice from this video. I don’t understand these companies who aren’t including instructions…?!
Yes. Sooooo helpful!!!!
What do you mean as “ channel”?
A friend ordered a kit of a tiger but no instructions were included 😖 we've Googled but can't find anything. Any ideas?
I have seen so many comments about people receiving kits without instructions, and I cannot understand why they would send the kits with no information about where the colors would go!? So are you telling me there is no guide that tells you where to place each color?
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio yes, no guide at all or glue applicator or scissors.
Has anyone received a kit with more paper strips/colors than are needed for the kit? My kit identifies five colors and my paper packet has 10 colors! I guess I will pick the five I think are closest to the illustration.
Ohhhh, so far I haven’t gotten more. That is a good question. Is your kit from UniQuilling or another company?
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio It is from Uniquilling, a small Christmas tree.
My kit did not come with directions lol! 😢
I have had so many comments saying that they are not getting instructions with their kit. I don’t understand that, so I wonder if they are hoping people will get on their channel to find the instructions. I know since I made my video that they started producing a lot of more tutorial videos. I hope you were able to get it figured out! I can’t imagine getting one of these kits without the instructions…?!
F
Written directions slip by so quickly I don't get to finish reading them.
Pause the video…then you can read them or even screenshot them.
Bought 5 pictures to do but all the paper strips were put together with nothing to identify which packet of paper strips go to which picture, so I'm guessing. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
What is the name of your other tutorial?
Ohhh, let me look. It should be in my playlist under uniquilling, but I may be able to find it quicker.

The tacky glue can you water it down. Just wondering
It’s so funny that you asked that. I actually said it in the original video, and then I edited it out, because the video was so long. I did add a little water to it, and then I got considered that even the slighter but of water might affect the paper, so I didn’t use it. I will continue to test other glues over time, and update as I do more of these kinds of videos (if people want to see more of these types of projects).
I did see that Tacky Glue brand has other options…like a clear and another option, but I didn’t want to invest in them since I had what I needed. If you try other kinds, I would LOVE to know what you find that works well, so I can pass it along!
I sure will thanks so much love these videos
@@marshachilders5923 thank you so much for watching and for the feedback!!
How the heck channels were made? I saw 3 times nothing about channel is shown!
Did you watch the first video I referred you to where I showed you the channels and explained how they are laser-cut into the foam? Then in this video I also demonstrated how the paper slides into the channel. I’m not MAKING the channel…they are PRE-CUT into the foam. That’s what makes the kits so unique and different. You get the kit and the channels are already there, and all you do is slide the correct paper into the place where they tell you to put it.
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio but the channels are not wide enough I can't slide the paper into them
@@jayrogoznica945 I don’t make the kits, so that is something you can take up with the manufacturer, but I don’t have any problems getting the paper in them when I use the tweezers and my fingers as I showed several times in the video. If the channels are wider, the paper won’t stay in them…it would be pointless.
Your written hints/tips are gone too quickly. Need more time to read it all
Thank you for letting me know. I’ll try to make those stay up longer, but you can pause the video to read them if you need more time on the videos I already have published.
Sooooo much talk! Too much. 20 minutes in and you’re still talking. Just get to it.
Vidéo bien trop longue
This is a “Step-by-Step Tutorial”…meaning it explains every detail of how to complete one of these kits. You are the only one who has complained of the length of the video instead of appreciating the weeks of time it took me to volunteer my time to create this content and the money it cost me to supply the products out of my pocket. Next time I would advise you to either say something nice or SAY NOTHING AT ALL! 😉

I responded to this comment earlier. See your previous comment and the response I left you.
