Flowers and plants are always favorite themes with quillers.

Paper quilling is really economical. Quilling is very easy to learn and doesn’t require large investment in specialized tools. To start,  all you need are paper strips, a toothpick or corsage pin and craft glue.

You can either buy a quilling tool or improvise by using a long needle or any thin piece of metal.  Quick drying glue is advisable and preferably in a fine tip container. Another useful tool is the circle template board; you can improvise by using push pins to make uniform sizes of circles.

Paper quilling is an extraordinary paper craft because not only is it very simple to learn and make, it is also an art that is beneficial to our mind, body and heart, regardless of age or gender.

The Quilling craft works produce amazing results which can be used for decorating birth announcements, wedding invitations, and greeting cards.

Quilled papers can also be used to decorate small boxes, or made into jewelry or refrigerator magnets. Large, composite projects can be framed and presented as stand-alone art.
