Quiling Basics 1 - Tools

Hi

Today I will be writing about the basic tools and supplies needed for quilling.
First and foremost you will need a slotted needle like this

and Paper Strips like these. These strips are available in various sizes from 2mm to 10mm then in 25mm.
Oh!! I almost forgot you will also need glue.

These tools are readily available at your local craft/Stationery store. They also sell preset quilling sets specifically for card making or Jewellery making complete with printed instructions. As a beginner you will find these easy to use or little girls can use them to make projects too. These kits and tools mentioned are also available online at amazon.in, flipkart.com, etc.

Next is a pro-circle which is basically a geometric tool but here you can use it to select the size of your coils that you will be using in your projects.

As you move on to more complex projects you can then buy a quilling board that looks like this

Then there is the Quilling comb that is used to make flowers. You can practice on a regular comb until u get a hang of it and then buy this one for professional projects.

If you move on to Jewelry, you might need a mould like this one to make your jhumkas.

The final but most important tool is your imagination and your creativity. The strips are available in every colour possible and there is really no limit to what you want to make
