What is quilling? 
History of Quilling
(abridged from the North American Quilling Guild) Quilling, or paper filigree, is an intricate art form over 500 years old. Quilling originated in European religious orders where they used strips of paper resembling metal filigree in their reliquaries. The pieces are created by rolling narrow strips of paper into various shapes, and arranging them together to form a unique design. Although quilling appears delicate and ornate, it is amazingly simple and inexpensive. Great satisfaction is gained from the versatility of creating unlimited designs. Pieces can be created flat on a backing of paper or wood or free form 3-D stand alone objects designed for the home or as gifts such as greeting cards and framed items.

How many strips come in a package and how long are they? Different manufacturers have different specifications for their paper. In many cases, there are 50 strips and they are 24" long (standard colors). If you click on the item's color square you will receive more information on that item.

I don't see mm sizes: Our paper comes in multiple sizes, 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8". These sizes are equivalent to 1.5mm, 3mm, 6mm, and 9mm

What size paper should I use? In most cases, the regular width of paper (1/8") is what is used except in cases where a pattern calls for a different size.

What supplies do I need to get started? Quilling paper, white glue, straight pins, ruler, scissors, tweezers, and a quilling board are all you need to begin creating.

What's a crimper? A crimper makes a corrugated pattern like the inside of cardboard. The Crimper accepts quilling paper strips up to 3/8" in width.

What is a slotted tool? The slotted tool is perfect for starting the roll. The end of the strip goes in the slot and you simply turn the handle. A variety of slotted tools are available for varying needs.
