Quilling Technique Tutorial

1. For making a quilling element insert a paper strip into a hole and wind on a toothpick tight.





2. Take off a roll from a toothpick carefully and unwind it to the needed diameter between the fingers (children do it approximately).



3. Glue the strip end and wait till it dries.



The workpieces can be given different shapes making squeezings and dents.
