Home Quilling

Quilling is an art form where you roll and shape strips of paper to create decorative designs. If you buy a professional quilling tool your designs could look like in the picture below:

 A quilling tool offers a clean look and adds a very cool 3D effect to a card.
  (Which I did make for my sister's birthday 2 years ago, it would have been helpful to have a quilling tool)













If you don't have a quilling tool you can do something similar using

  • Scissors
  • A craft knife
  • Cutting board (Doesn't have to be anything fancy I just use one from the kitchen)
  • circle stencil
  • Paper (preferably cardstock)
Cut a circle out of a piece of cardstock using the craft knife and then using the scissors cut a spiral out of the circle. Roll up the spiral and you will create something that would look like a rose. Here's a link to a video that shows you how to do it. The lady uses a punch but if you don't have one follow the steps above. Skip to 1:45
