Thanks! The paper I'm using is standard quilling paper, 1/8 inch wide. American quilling strips are about 22-24 inches in length. The weight is slightly heavier than typical computer printer paper, but that will work fine if you want to cut a sheet into strips to use as practice paper.
le2ce, I ordered my favorite tool from Japan, but when I was first learning to quill, I used a cake tester - it's a fine, stiff wire. Some prefer to use corsage pins or cocktail sticks. That's a Fiskars paper trimmer you see me using in the video... it's very handy for cutting strips from a sheet of paper.
Thank you for sharing! I discovered quilling quite recently but I cannot find quilling tools here in Greece. I guess I need to order them. The tool you are using for cutting the strips is it also for quilling? How do you call it? Thanks a lot!
That's great mrlundgren, most children enjoy quilling. Here's an idea for teaching really young kids to quill - use bread bag or trash bag twist ties that have a wire embedded. Older students do fine with regular quilling paper or they can make giant-sized snowflakes with wide strips - a half inch or so. Regular computer paper works fine. Roll the strips on a wooden dowel.
that's an insane amount of glue.

Before watching this video I had no idea how quilling was really done and thought it would be hard to do, but now I'm ready to quil none stop!
