If you'd like to give paper quilling a try you'll need a few supplies. Our quilling strips are the result of much research and advice from quilling experts, and are all between 100-135gsm. You'll also find all the tools you will need along with a range of templates if you prefer a guided quilling experience.

Many of our templates use an 'on edge' quilling technique that does not require a tool or the traditional shapes seen in our beginners video. Simply follow the guided line, sticking the quilling strips on their edges, to complete your design. Of course, there is no reason why you can't add your own creative flourishes and include a mix of both styles!
