Paper Quilling tool
Various tools are are available .
The best tool to use is the one with a fine slit, and the slit should be big enough to accomodate the width of paper you wish to quill.
It is important for the paper to fit snugly in the slit so that it remains in position when you are about to roll.
Its good to have a number of tools for quilling so do not discard any tool thinking that you don't need it.
Its better to keep it as you may be glad of it when you want to make roses or such things.
Some people use no tools at all but simply roll the papers in thier fingers.
There is an art to roll withou a tool , but its not easy!
But i think its always better to use the tool to get the most attractive results!
Few tips for Paper quilling
Before you beging quilling, take a closer look at the quilling strip. Take some time to feel the difference between the smooth side and the other side.
Avoid rolling too tightly if you are rolling for the first time.The rolled paper will expand to its natural size .Practise using 5mm strips before using 3mm or finer strips.
Useful tip:
when making shapes, always pinch your coil at the glued end.
This disguises the joined end and looks better.
