• A long needle tool
• White craft glue (dries clear)
• Pre-cut quilling paper

Additional Supplies

• Slotted tool - for those long rolls to make bells and flower pots - the folded rose and the new flowers with scalloped edges
• Quilling board (for placing pattern on and pinning into place)
• Quilling designer board (for sizing your rolls and enabling you to create perfectly matching shapes
• Fine tipped tweezers for ease of placing your quilled shapes in position. These tweezers work perfectly if you aspire to creating holly leaves
• Pins for holding design in place
• Wax paper to lay over your pattern

Technique

1. Measure the length required for the Quilling paper (usually 3" - 4") - Tear off, do not cut
2. Dampen the end on your tongue, roll the strip around the tip of the needle tool to make a tightly wrapped circle
3. Remove from the needle tool, set down and let the coil relax and expand a little
4. Glue the loose paper end in place to form a circle
5. Pinch the loosely wrapped circle at the one side - this forms the most basic shape - the teardrop
6. Five of these teardrops can be glued together side by side to form your first Quilled flower

ITS THAT EASY!!
That is the basis of Quilling - rolling and pinching. It is certainly not hard and it is one craft that allows you to create your own designs as easily as you can follow a pattern.
