I have just dicovered the beautiful art of paper quilling. Before you get started know that if you are buying the paper it can get expensive! However, you can make your own paper or take the old paper shreder and use that paper! The first things you need are paper and a coiling tool (you can get these at your local craft store). After this pratice making a tight coil (you just coil tightly). After you've done that you're ready to begin ! To make a loose coil you just let your coil unwind! After that you just shape and pinch it into differnt shapes! Don't forget to glue it closed! Now just glue things together and PRESTO, you have your very own work of art!

You can get a paper crimper and crimp your paper for a cool affect! ==== Thanks to The New Paper Quilling by Molly Smith Christensen ====

Have fun quilling!
