Paper Quilling Supplies

Choose dome molds and border forms

Match the tool to the finished shape, its diameter or side length and how you need to remove it.

Use a dome mold for volume

Start with a tight coil and choose a dome with the diameter the project calls for. Push gradually and check the edge height before setting the shape. The maker may recommend a minimum strip width for its tool.

Use a border form for outlines

Wrap strips around a selected level of the circle, triangle or square form. Compare the dimensions and steps if the finished outline must align with other pieces. Check what the set includes before buying extra forms.

Check useful sizes and materials

Count the shapes and the available steps for the size you will use. Sets with several colors may repeat a shape, while a single form can offer several different sizes. Make one sample and check it against the final layout.

How do I choose the correct dome diameter?
