Paper Quilling Supplies

Paper Quilling Supplies

Choose quilling paper by strip width and length

Start with the project measurements and the height you want above the backing. Then check the winding tip, paper weight and length per strip.

Width sets the height at the edge

When you set a coil on its edge, a wider strip usually creates a taller element. A low-profile card and a domed ornament can need different widths. Match the pattern in its stated units first, then compare the height with your backing or frame.

Length supplies paper for the coil

A narrow strip can still be long. Length affects how much paper you can wind, while tension, paper weight and the sizing opening affect the finished diameter. Check length per strip separately from pack count when you replace a kit's paper.

Look at the face and the cut edge

A metallic face, a gilded edge and a gradient along the length place color in different places. Roll one test strip and place it in the final orientation before ordering enough for a repeat pattern.

Guide questions

Will 5 mm paper replace a quarter-inch strip in a pattern?

Use the exact width if the pattern depends on height, dome depth or tool fit. Five millimeters and a quarter inch are different measurements. Make a sample before using a nearby size.

How can I check two widths on the same card?

Place trial coils beside each other on the final backing and look at their edges from the side.

What should I compare if both packs have the same width?

Check strip length, paper weight, finish and quantity per color. Those details affect the coil and repeat count.
