Quilling Paper, or the art of paper rolling, is a unique and beloved craft. Cards made from rolled paper are not only creative but also carry a special personal touch from the maker, making them a great way to express feelings.

Materials Needed:

• Colored paper strips
• Stiff cardstock
• Glitter glue
• Paper rolling tool
• Glue, scissors, and a pen
