Last summer
“You should use crepe paper for that,” said the boy sitting beside me.
It was only my second day at Camp Shalom, and we were doing crafts in the big lodge. We were supposed to be sailing, but it had been canceled because of thunderstorms.
The counselor had just given us an introduction to the art of paper quilling. She showed us how to coil strips of paper into different shapes. I was making a flower—one round coil for the center and a bunch of teardrop shapes for the petals.
