Quilling Art - Materials and Equipment

Quilling paper comes in over 250 colors and in various dimensions, such as 1/8", ¼" and 3/8 broad paper parcels. It is available in solid colors, graduated, two-tone, acid free, and more.

What is the difference in those types of quilling paper?

Acid-free quilling paper completely free of any acid, which makes it great for scrap booking, rubber stamping, and creating frames for pictures.

Graduated quilling paper has a solid, concrete color on the edges, but will gradually fade to white, or visa versa.

Two-tone quilling paper has a solid color on one side and a comparatively lighter solid color on the other side.

The main attributes you would need are coiling pens which come in different sizes as you can see. Other materials are glue and depending on what project you have in mind; paper, photo frames, glass bottles, jewelry making basics, etc.

There is very little you can not do or make with quilling, so let your creative juices flow.
