Paper Quilling is very easy. The steps include inserting the paper into the slot at the end of the quilling tool, then roll the paper around the tool until it forms a tight coil, called a plug. When done, pull the coil off the tool, ensuring that it does not unravel. Use a toothpick to place a small amount of glue on the end to hold it in place.
You can use just about any paper for quilling as long as it is small enough.
