Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the craft where a 3-D image is built up using layers of the same picture?

Answer: paper tole

Paper tole was popular in the UK during the Victorian age as a result of the import of Chinese and Japanese furniture with similar decorative designs.

2. What is cartonnage?

Answer: Decorative box making

You too could fill your home with fabric covered cornflake boxes like the Northern Europeans of the last century!

3. What country does the craft "tea bag folding" originate from?

Answer: The Netherlands

Tea bag folding (also known as Miniature Kaleidoscopic Origami) involves folding colourful printed papers to create a variety of designs for use in card making and other creations. You could try using your PG tips if you like but the results might not be as effective.

4. In which craft would you use a slotted tool to make a Loose Circle, a Teardrop, a Marquise and a Grape Roll?

Answer: paper quilling

Quilling is the art of creating little rolls of paper to be used to decorate craft projects. You can shred your bank statements and then use the remains to create a lovely flowery card for Mothers Day!

5. What wax is recommended for making rolled candles?

Answer: beeswax

Rolled beeswax candles are easier to make than molded candles and they also burn longer. Beeswax is secreted by worker bees for contructing honeycombs. Carnauba wax is a sticky exudation on the leaves, berries and stalks of the carnaba balm, Microcrystalline wax, like paraffin wax is derived from crude oil and spermaceti wax is a fatty substance obtained from the cavities of the head of the sperm whale!

6. Which of these substances would you use when drying flowers in your microwave?

Answer: silica gel

Silica gel is a desiccant - it adsorbs and holds water vapor. It is widely used in packaging and even in the food industry to limit the growth of mould and reduce spoilage.

7. What is the name of the material used for cross-stitch?

Answer: Aida

Stitchers like to use aida because the little box shaped holes make it easier for you to decide where to move the needle to and help to keep your stitches neat and well spaced and sized. Binca fabric has larger holes and is ideal for beginners and children. Alda is the surname of the actor who played Hawkeye in MASH but he didn't have anything to do with cross-stitching as far as I know - Klinger was a "cross-dresser" in MASH but that is something completely different!

8. What do you call the technique in jewelry making where metal is heated to make it more pliable?

Answer: Annealing

Soldering is to join by means of metallic cement, pickling is to treat in a chemical bath and forging is to form by heating in a forge and beating or hammering into shape.

9. In which craft would you use polystyrene, sequins, pins and ribbons to create your very own faberge eggs?

Answer: Pinflair

With pinflair you can make your own decorative Easter eggs and Christmas Decorations and half shapes are ideal for making 3-D greeting cards.

10. What are the three main ingredients used to make bath bombs?

Answer: Baking Soda, Epsom Salts and Citric Acid

Epsom salts gently soften your bath water for a wonderful luxurious bath. When water is added the citric acid reacts with the baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) to release carbon dioxide gas putting the fizz into your balls!
