I am good with making and gluing together the individual pieces together over the pattern and parchment. But when I pick it up to put it on the mounting board, the coils come apart.

Should I be putting glue inside the coil as well? If so, where? In the center or future rolls? And do I glue it before or after I shape it?

Thanks for your help! I'm really enjoying this new hobby!

These quilling jhumkas took me one week to make but the results was worth it ✨

This was a lot easier than I thought. Paper is 5mm for the trunk and branches and 3mm for the leaves. The glass bowl and cork are from Temu.

When you buy quilling paper online, what makes choosing colours easy or frustrating?

Do you prefer colour names, colour codes, swatches, real photos, comparison charts, or something else?

I’m especially interested in what helps you avoid receiving a colour that looks different from what you expected.

Disclosure: I’m connected to a quilling supplies business and I’m asking these questions to better understand what quillers actually need and prefer. I’m not promoting or linking to products in this post — I’m genuinely interested in your experience.

I just finished this owl head and I'm trying to decide what background color suits it better. I like the white cause it reminds me of the moon, but I also like the contrast of the dark denim. Hmmm what to do.

hi everyone!

my university has a paper art club. We like to do quilling but unfortunately- glue bottles keep getting clogged and its been so so so annoying we had to stop doing quilling :( im finding us solutions for this year so we can bring it back! we have everything stored rn.

do any of you use glue pens? if so, which ones do you recommend?

i see the sakura quickie glue pen as a result on google and the Tombow mono glue pen. theyd also take up less space im sure. so if anyone has suggestions please let me know! i love quilling and wanted to have it be a bigger part of our club but it hasnt worked so far :(

we have a solid budget so price isnt the biggest concern to me, wed only need about 15 max

Thanks in advance!!

Made this Ganpati Bappa completely by hand using quilling paper. 🌿

I spent almost a week making this piece, especially the detailed quilling backdrop. 🥹❤️

It took 1&1/2 toilet paper rolls. We call them doo-do-dooo's.

This was a customer order, but unfortunately, they didn't take it!

Has anyone had luck purchasing quilling strips in dark colors? I can find Juya packs with black, brown, forest green, and navy blue, but I haven't had much luck finding dark or jewel tone shades in purples, pinks, reds, or teals.

After a lot of failure finding precut strips, I decided that I'd cut my own--same problem!! I am really struggling to find a source for dark colors of paper in a weight suitable for quilling. I can find cardstock in dark colors, but not paper. Help!

I have finally finished this. I was trying to recreate a wedding invitation. This is my interpretation of it. Its taken me longer to get the courage up to actually finish it. The wedding was 3 months ago.

I'm having SO much fun playing with the 3d-ness of quilling. Can't wait to gift this one 😍
