Paper Quilling

Paper Quilling is a very interesting crafts .you just need simple tools and there goes your creativity.
It involves rolling thin strips of paper, typically 1/8 inch wide, around a needle or slotted quilling tool. The tiny paper rolls are then shaped, pinched and arranged in order to create quilled paper creation for picture frame or cards and beyond like Jewelry.
Paper coils can be rolled very tightly or quite loosely for various effects within your final image.the more you practice the more you will master this craft. Most quilled shapes begin as either a closed coil or an open coil. A closed coil is rolled quite tightly and an open one a lot more loosely then press by hands to give different shapes.
