Paper is essential in quilling as it is the base of the craft. You can either buy pre-cut paper strips or manually cut the pieces yourself.

There are two different ways to make your own paper strips: mechanical or manual.
The mechanical method uses a shredder while the manual process involves cutting paper with a cutting tool such as a pair of scissors, blade or a paper trimmer. Make sure to use a cutting mat to protect your surfaces if using a blade. Using a paper trimmer will produce strips much faster than using scissors or a blade. Purchasing a shredder for paper quilling can also be quite expensive.
I would not recommend using a shredder to produce strips for the purpose of paper quilling. Pre-cut strips will usually come in an acid-free paper in the appropriate weight. If you are cutting your own strips, I would recommend starting with paper that weighs gsm grams per square meter as it is ideal for rolling and creating shapes.
However, you can use anything from 80 to gsm for paper quilling. Notify me of new posts via email. Enter your email address to follow Honey's Quilling and receive notifications of new posts by email.
