You will need quilting paper; which can be purchased at most hobby supply stores, or you can cut your own 1/8-inch strips in lengths of about 8 inches. Also required is a quilling tool or a tooth- pick (the quilting tool makes tighter scrolls), craft glue, straight pins, a ruler and a quilling board, which is a piece of corrugated cardboard with wax paper wrapped around it.

Hold the quilting tool in one hand and with the thumb and index finger of the other hand press the end of the paper around the tool and begin rolling the paper. Roll tightly, keeping the edges even.

All rolls begin with a loose circle and are shaped by pinching one or both sides. Here are some basic scrolls for you to practice...

Remove roll from tool and glue end.

Remove roll from tool, let it loosen about twice its size and glue end.

Pinch one side of roll.

Pinch on opposite sides of roll.

Roll from one end.

Roll from both ends and pinch in center with rolls facing in.

Roll from both ends and pinch in center with rolls facing out.

Roll one direction from one end and roll from the opposite direction from the other end.

Roll from both ends.
