| Learn the A-Z of Paper Quilling |
| 2007-08-22 23:28:00 |
Paper Quilling is a very interesting craft work and is increasingly popular. It requires very less materials and once the basics are known, there is no limit to creativity in paper quilling.To start with, you will require paper quilling sheets, quilling tool and glue. Paper quilling sheets are not that easily available in India…so you can settle with some glossy kind of sheet that is neither too thin so as to tear nor too thick.For the quilling tool, a thin crochet needle or a fat sewing needle would be a good substitute.You can make a design in colour sheet on a white background or vice versa.Cut the sheet into 1/8†width strips (you need not do this if you have quilling sheets as they are available readily cut).Basic Roll-Loose and TightStarti...
