Paper Quilling
How to Do Quilling With Paper
One glance at a paper quilling project and you might decide it’s all a little too complex for you. This is particularly true if you’ve never delved into the world of crafts before. Fortunately paper quilling is actually fairly basic and you don’t really need any skills at all. This is a fun project that anyone, of any age can do and with just a few simple instructions and tools you are well on your way.
When you are first learning how to do quilling with paper, it’s important to get a grasp on the basic shapes that many patterns call for. One of these rudimentary designs is the tight coil. This is exactly as it sounds and involves taking a strip of paper and rolling it into a tight shape. The easiest and most effective way to do this is with a special slotted tool. These are incredibly inexpensive and can be picked up at any craft retailer. You’ll soon discover how invaluable it is to have one of these on hand when you start any new quilling project.
It’s really important to guide the paper strip as you are coiling it. This is easy to do and just involves making certain the edges line up. Once the tight coil is completed all that is required is a spot of glue and you’ve completed your first quilling shape.
A related shape that is also very popular is the loose coil. Instead of pulling the paper tightly into a coil shape, with this technique you allow it to be looser. The result is a lovely shaped coil that can used in all kinds of projects including flower images and even hot air balloon pictures.
Once you’ve got these two basic techniques mastered, graduate to something a bit more challenging. The teardrop shape is a variation of the loose coil. Before you glue the loose coil into place, pinch one end of it between two fingers. Then apply the glue to the pinched portion of the coil. Voila – you’ve just created an elegant teardrop.
For someone just learning the basics of how to do quilling with paper, these three techniques are a great way to start. You’ll soon discover what other quillers have known for years; this is an easy and fun way to create handmade crafts that others can enjoy for years.
Before long you’ll be creating even more shapes and utilizing one of the many quilling patterns that are available. The sky is the limit when it comes to this paper craft so let your imagination and creativity by your guide.

I'm brand new to the art of quilling....?
...I'd like to know how to design my own patterns? Use graph paper? Something else?
I can make all the basic shapes come out quite lovely, uniform etc. I have some purchased patterns and have designed some very simple pieces on my own (free from scrolls with teardrop accents, hearts & things). I'd really like to know how to design a pattern. Are there any quillers out there who can help? Thanks
I used to quill. Mostly I just freehand the design on paper. You can use graph paper. But remember, quilling is an art and it is only made into something beautiful when the artist puts their soul into it. It is good that you are seeking advice, but also trust your artist's soul to find what is best for you.
