15. QUILLING PAPER TYPES
 Acid-Free Quilling paper:
As the name clearly indicates this is a paper that is completely acid free. The quality makes it an
outstanding choice for making scrapbooks, rubber stamping, and creating frames for pictures. It
assures your project will last a lifetime, without any side effects on the framed picture or album.
 Graduated Quilling Papers:
This type of paper provides you an exceptional look to your decorative quilling projects. On the
edges, you will have a solid, concrete color but gradually, it will fade to white. It is the nature of
the quilling ring, that, when using a graduated paper, it begins with a dark shade but ends up being
faded to a lighter side. On the contrary, some graduated papers begin as white, or a lighter shade,
and then slowly fades into a solid, darker color.
 Two-Tone Quilling Papers:
This is another important type of quilling paper. It is quite similar to the graduated quilling
paper in its use. The look consists of a concrete color on one side and comparatively lighter color
on the other side. Although, with two-tone paper, the color remains same, however, the intensity of
color is different. The main use of this quilling paper is to provide a desired level of softness to the
quilled subject. It possesses the capacity to quill many papers in a single spiral.

16. QUILLING TOOLS
 TWEEZERS
You'll find that a good pair of tweezers are excellent for placing those small pieces in the right place. I
have several pairs. Try several types to see which one works best for you. which shows the different types
of tweezers.
Tweezers can be used to hold your shaped coil while you put a few drops of glue on the edges you're
gluing together without damaging it.
Tweezers are useful to pull the center to your coils edge when creating concentric coils.
 PINS
T-Pins or regular pins will help hold your pieces together while the glue dries. The pins will also allow you
to put the project aside and finish it later should something come up. I use several different T-pin sizes.
 GLUE
We've found that the best glue (and it's inexpensive too) is Elmer's Glue All. It is a white glue that dries
clear. It's important that you try other glues and decide which glue works best for you.
 STRIPS
This strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The
paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted
