Paper quilling is an old paper craft that has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity -- particularly in the scrapbooking world. Here, designer Allison Connors shares some of her paper quilling techniques. Quilling Instructions to Achieve Different Shapes: Basic Quilling - Tear or cut Quill Stix to desired length.
- Load Quill Stix onto the Slotted Quilling tool (figure A) by aiming the point of one end to te slot, or by sliding the tool onto the Quill Stix at any point along the strip.
- While holding the Quilling Tool in one hand, slide it to the very end of the paper strip. Keeping your fingers of your opposite hand over the Quill Stix, start turning the tool towards you or away from you (figure B).
- To remove the Quill Stix from the tool, slightly pinch the coiled circle and gently slide it off the tool.
- When gluing Quill Stix, it is extremely important to use the glue very sparingly.
Loose Circle
Coil the Quill Stix as described above, let the circle relax and then use a very tiny amount of Monomulti Glue to adhere the end to the shape. Teardrop
Make a loose circle. Then, after applying glue, pinch one end between your fingers and bring end to a point. Marquee
Make a loose circle. Pinch opposite ends of the loose circle between fingers at the same time creating points on both ends (figure C). Half Circle
Make a loose circle. Pinch two points at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions, flattening the area on the bottom between the points. Loose Scroll
Make a loose circle without gluing. Some loose scrolls (as in this layout) are not scrolled all the way to the end of the Quill Stix -- they are considered "Tailed" (which means to leave a tail hanging down). V-Scroll
Fold a Quill Stix in half. Load one end of "V" into the Quilling Tool. Scroll half the way down and repeat for the other side (figure D). T-Scrolls
Make a V-Scroll and glue the inside together. (when Quilling T-Scrolls for this layout, we are making them "lop-sided", to do this we don't quill both sides even-we leave one side longer than the other). Fringed Loose Scroll
Take a piece of Quill Stix and with a micro tip scissor, carefully fringe the long end of the Quill Stix part of the way down. Load the fringed piece into the quilling Tool and make a loose scroll as described above. Carefully open the loose circle partially and using your finger spread the fringes out slightly. Cutting Quill Stix Lengthwise
Take the Quill Stix and cut lengthwise to make a thinner Quill Stix. This comes in handy when you need to layer Quilled shapes and not add too much bulk to the layout.
