I’d just like to say, I’m a total beginner to quilling, having done 5D diamond painting for about three years..just fancied a change, and true to form, I jumped right in and bought everything I thought I might need! Anyway I did a Xmas card for a friend which I was really proud of and then I found I couldn’t make even the simplest of coils! I do have quite long nails and am so “cack handed” and clumsy I was about to totally give up. BUT I have spent this afternoon watching a few of your videos and have printed off the scroll sheet and have found a new enthusiasm for quilling! I’m going to start again tomorrow so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was seriously going to throw it all away thinking I’m just not arty enough lol.
Aw, this brought a huge smile to me today - thank you SO much for making all my hours of effort worth it! I know that I make it look "easy" but I've been quilling for over 10 years! I think if you biked for 10 years that would look easy to someone just learning it too. Give yourself time and patience to learn the basics. Let yourself fall down. Tell yourself to keep getting back up. You will get there. Let go and have fun!
I know it has been a year since you posted the above comment but I am happy to hear you didn't give up on yourself! Like with anything in life, in order to get good at something we have to practice A LOT! Having a great teacher is also a huge plus! The 3rd thing is learning to be patient and kind to ourselves! As artists we are our own worst critic! Seriously we LOVE to dole out compliments to everyone else but we tend to struggle to accept compliments on our own works of art! So I hope you still quilling and I bet if you are.... You are nailing it! 😉❤🧡💛💚💙💜
❤ Que bello comentario 💗
Even though I am still clueless, I am much less clueless with your instructions! You have a great melodious, calm voice for instructing!
Wow, thank you! 😊
You make the best, the most calming, the most soothing, and informative with clear instructions tutorial video. You voice tone and volume is just the best. Thank you Cecelia.
Wow, thank you for making my day!
Thank you Cecilia for another great video. I am storing all your tips in my brain for use while quilling.
Wonderful! I'm thrilled to hear that - thank you for giving me a smile today! 😀
Thank you!! I’m about to take on this adventure. This is so very helpful.
You’re very welcome Patrice! I hope you have great fun in exploring.
You’re videos are wonderful! Well done. Thank you!
I’m happy to hear that Donna - thank you! What do you plan on making with your quilled circles?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie my next project is typography and after that I’ll be doing my first landscape. Both will be using plenty of circles!
@@donnaturner5857 Wonderful challenge to take on! Have fun quilling!
I found myself needing a large amount of the same size, and I have a very "production line" style brain. I ended up cutting my own template using self laminated sheets. I cut out the same size circle many times on one sheet, then I used foam stickers to stick the cut out sheet on top of a full sheet. I like being able to make many of one size at the same time, as I tend to roll them all and let them sit in the template prior to gluing, then after gluing I let them set in the template too.
That’s great you made your own Gabby! What kind of quilling projects do you like to make with your same sized coils?
Do your coils continue to slowly uncoil like mine? If not, how do you make yours stay the same distance apart? I struggle with that part most.
How did you cut your laminated sheet? Do you have an electric cutting machine? Do you record your strip lengths needed for each circle?
LOL so many questions!!!
What a helpful video, Cecelia! I like that the Quilled Creations template has six of most sizes, great for snowflakes as you said. Just would like it to be deeper so coils can't jump out.
Thanks so much Ann! Do you find your coils continue to unwind the longer they sit too?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie I haven't noticed that, but maybe I just haven't let them sit for long.
Ok good to know. Maybe I have to adjust my tension since mine unwind quickly. Thanks Ann!
This is a very helpful video, so glad I found your Channel. Thank you so much for teaching us!!!! Liz x
You are so welcome Elizabeth! I'm happy to hear it's helpful to you!
Gracias por compartir! Usted enseña con mucha paciencia y de manera clara. Es muy detallista, felicidades por su trabajo!
¡Eres muy bienvenido! Me alegro de poder ayudarte con mis tutoriales.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I'm able to help you with my tutorials.
Great information and very well presented. Thank you!
Yay! That makes my day Colleen! Thank you! Do you already use a template?
Your such a great teacher thank u
I’m so happy to hear that - thank you Sarai! Are you new to quilling?
Hi cecellia! Thank you so much, my teacher.
You’re welcome - so glad it helps!
Your video was very reassuring for me. I'm self-taught and found I already do many of the tips you shared. Thanks.
That reassured me too Barbara! To be honest I didn’t buy the board from Quilled Creations until many years later and just did whatever seemed to work for me. So it’s great to know we are all doing the same kinds of workarounds to make it work! What do you use your coils for? Do you make snowflakes?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie The largest project I've done is a quilled alphabet for my grandson. It took me years to finish!
Whoa! That’s dedication Barbara! It must feel so good to look at it now and feel that sense of accomplishment!
Thank You!
You're welcome!
Man your vids are spot on!
Thank you! I put quite a bit of thought into them so I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying them.
Thanks Cecelia, great video. If I were to design my own template, I would mark in the middle of each circle the size both in Imperial and metric...🙂
Cheers,
Linda🇨🇦
YES!!! That’s how I feel too Ally! Both measurements have their advantages for certain tasks. 🇨🇦
What do you use circle templates for? Do you make snowflakes? Do you prefer multiples of the same size or just one of each size?
Very helpful, thank you… I am a beginner 😊
Welcome to quilling Shelly! I hope my tutorials will give you more insights and de-mystify it all for you!
I love your videos the way you quill, talk clearly and thanks for teaching. I love quilling paper, can you make a video for quilling a turtle 🐢
I'm happy to hear my style of tutorial is helpful Akima! Oh gosh, I've never quilled a turtle before, but if I ever design a pattern, I'll try to film it.
Thank you for the video, it was very helpful and informative. I will be putting this information to use.😊
I’m so happy my video was helpful! Do you use a circle template for certain types of quilling projects?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie I use it to ensure my coils are consistent in size.
Good! I'm glad it's a tool we all rely on! 😀
Thanks Cecelia for another great video. I would like more of an A4 size board with vertical rows, each a different size to maximise the amount you could make in one go and deep enough to hold the coils. Also, although we've been metric here in the UK since 1965, I'm 'old school' and still think in feet and inches, so being marked with both sizes would be really useful for me.
Thank YOU Sheila for watching and letting me know your thoughts! I agree about having both measurements because I find both have their advantages for different tasks. May I ask what you use the multiples of same size circles for? Is it because you’re making snowflakes?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie No not for snowflakes Cecilia, I've made a few cards this year using your alphabet templates and did a 'batch' of coils to make flowers etc.
good information and very helpful
I'm so happy to hear my tutorial was helpful Arlene! Do you already use a circle template?
I have designed my own template and had it printed but someone in America, I am in Australia. I had it made with a lot of the sizes that I use most. It has 5 of each size that I like.
Oh interesting! What materials was it printed on? Did you sell your templates?
Thank you for your helpful videos - so clear and relevant to challenges we all seem to have. My 11 year old grandson created my ultimate quilling board with his 3D printer. It has a range of 6-8 similar sizes in rows and he marked the size of the hole in mm at the start of each row. I find it so helpful and I was able to specify the sizes I wanted, also the the thickness of the board (to prevent the circles from escaping too easily as you mentioned in the you tube). I'm not sure that I can send a photo of it - I'll try.
I'm delighted to hear we are all facing the same issues! Maybe that's where the quote "misery loves company" comes from - LOL! But really, it's just that it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way about a basic tool we use for our quilling.
How amazing is your 11 yr old grandson!?! I don't even know the first thing about 3D printers. I don't think TH-cam allows you to send photos, but you can send it to me email address here: paperzeninfo@gmail.com
What do you like to make with your circles? Snowflakes? Flowers? Do you make shapes other than circles?
Thanks for your email address Cecelia, I'll send some photos through of my version of the ultimate quilling boards that my Grandson made - I love it! I also didn't know anything about 3D printers prior to this one our Grandson has - amazing what technology is doing these days! I use them especially when I'm wanting lots of all the same size circle - often when making flowers or leaves. I've been quilling about 18 months now and have a room full of cards and pictures!! - not all circles - I also use a dogs comb quite a bit with metal teeth that stay rigid when using, and I find a husking board (think that's what it's called) - all so much fun. Thank you so much for all your help with your video tutorials
You must be so proud of him Sandy! I know the quilling community would benefit from someone of his talents! Thank you for sharing your photos with me. It's an endless amount of tools and ideas all at our fingertips! Thank you for sharing your craft room ideas with us all Sandy! 😊
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie Hi Cecelia - it's true I'm proud of him!! What an amazing amount of tools and helpful ideas you share with us all. Thank you so much.
Thank you Cecelia. Your lessons are the best!
Thank you so much Trudi! I'm so glad my tutorial was helpful. Do you already use a circle template?
Thank you Cecelia for this helpful lesson.
I’m happy to hear my tutorial was helpful Tlakisha! 😄
I have yet to do any quilling, because I am studying it first. Thank you for taking your time and explaining things so well that a beginner can easily understand.
You are SO kind Julia - thank you for making my day! Hearing this makes my efforts worth it! 😊
Same here, i watched many videos.
@@shatirabarry Welcome to quilling Shatira! I'm happy you're curious about this craft. You don't need to buy any supplies. You can just give it a try with things you have already. Here's a video showing how you can do that: th-cam.com/video/nsLHD7r60Pw/w-d-xo.html
I love a bunch of the same size.
Ah, ok you like multiples of the same. Is it because you make snowflakes Erika?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie I have made them. I mostly make flowers
Me too! Somehow I prefer making flowers over snowflakes even though snowflakes are just as beautiful.
Hola buenas tardes, soy de México y yo compre en una tienda que aquí se llaman peleterías unos cilindros huecos que en el extremo tienen una forma de filo, se llaman sacabocado, hay en varias medidas, de círculos y es muy fácil hacer las plantillas en foamy grueso y eso uso. gracias
Hello Angeles, I'm happy to hear you're able to make a circle template very easily! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you sooo much Cecelia! I bought a box of Quilling from China on my FB page. It came with instructions sooo small that I cannot read them with my glasses on! I am clueless about quilling, their shapes, how to make them, the terminology etc. Your directions are excellent! Do you recommend a book or two for beginners? Do YOU have one? PS , I would think multiple shapes of different sizes would be preferable to shapes of one size. Thank you! Julie in Northern California
Welcome to the world of quilling Julie! I’m happy you’ve been finding my tutorials helpful. My printed book is now out of print.
The book I always recommend to beginners is also sadly out of print. It was called Twirled Paper by Klutz. Here’s a video showing how to make basic shapes and it also shows the Klutz book at the end. Perhaps you can find it in your local library.

Hi Cecelia, what kind of varnish to seal the quilling project? which is better acrylic varnish or mod podge? how to apply it? I hope you can have a tutorial for this.
Hi Clouie, unfortunately I don’t have any experience with sealing my quilling. I have only made the artwork and put it behind glass frames.
I have researched sealants but since my skin is sensitive, I have found an option that I like.
I did try a couple tests with earrings for friends with less sensitive skin here:

Hi Cecelia! I know this is probably something out of your field, but have you ever tried recycling your paper to make your own sheets? quilling probably doesn’t leave a lot of scraps big enough to be recycled but I figured it was worth asking lol
Great question SassyABCOH! I did make my own paper decades ago but I don’t have a screen anymore so I mainly recycle my quilling scraps into the government recycling bins instead.
If you’re asking whether I would use recycled paper for making quilling strips, then I’d say no, because hand made sheets are not very smooth or consistent. Plus you’d have to separate all the colors for making the pulp or else it’s grey pulp. 😒
I do save pretty envelopes or papers and use them in projects but after hoarding scraps for years, my shelves are kind of bulging. So it’s great to know teachers and I’ll donate them to their arts classes and they’re so happy to get the supplies (and my shelves are sighing with relief). 😅
When my circles are too tight I blow on them. The humidity of my breath works it out !
Ah!!! I've not heard of that method before! I can't wait to try that - thank you for sharing Miranda! 😀
Thank you for your videos. They are so informative. I'm a beginner and would like to ask what size strips and paper weight do you most use in your designs? I received a quilling kit as a gift and the paper strips are 5mm and so flimsy and hard to work with.
Welcome to quilling M Bradley! Great question. When I first started quilling over 10 years ago, I used the conventional thin paper strips too. Here’s a video I made showing how even writing paper can be made to follow your orders:
th-cam.com/video/nsLHD7r60Pw/w-d-xo.html
When I started making letters and larger pieces, I found the thin paper to be too wavy looking so I switched to thicker paper. Here’s a video showing the types of paper I tried:
th-cam.com/video/Lq_oHsARmU0/w-d-xo.html
Since making letters, I have been using exclusively Canson Mi-Teintes. Here are more details on my blog page:

Wow that was fast! I love mine and have used it for years.
Que buenos consejos, el que conseguí fue como el que tiene usted, de color amarillo, yo lo que hice fue pegarle fomi y me a resultado 🤗
I'm happy to hear my tutorial was helpful Nancy! You have the same template as I do. What do you like to make - snowflakes?
¡Estoy feliz de escuchar que mi tutorial fue útil, Nancy! Tienes la misma plantilla que yo. ¿Qué te gusta hacer? ¿Copos de nieve?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie si me encantan los copos de nieve !!
I like snowflakes too, but I soemtimes feel i dont have enough patience!!!
También me gustan los copos de nieve, pero a veces siento que no tengo suficiente paciencia.
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie paciencia ? Tus manos son mágicas podrías hacerlo de apoco, claro si quieres, sino no importa todo lo que haces es hermoso !!
You are so sweet - thank you for your kind words! Somehow I am impatient to see the finished snowflake and every time I see one part done, I think... oh no, five more parts to do.
Eres tan dulce, ¡gracias por tus amables palabras! De alguna manera estoy impaciente por ver el copo de nieve terminado y cada vez que veo una parte terminada, pienso ... oh no, cinco partes más por hacer .
I am brand new at this but I think I would want to have the paper length measurement.
Hi Barb, welcome to quilling! I realize it feels better knowing the length, but as you can see in my example, everyone has a different result. I would think it would be more frustrating to be told to do something a certain way, yet achieve different results. I have follow up videos that show circles with measurements.
Deeper wells
I agree - I wish these pre-made templates had deeper wells too. That's why I made my own. Here are 2 videos showing how to make your own circle templates by hand and by machine:
th-cam.com/video/6htbctS-t9w/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/7RkQVlbvMIQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Cecelia, how would you know what length of paper to fit into different sized templates?
Hi Sheron, if you watch at 2 minutes in to this video, you will see a chart. Other templates do not have a suggested length because it depends on your paper, tool, tension, and result each quiller wants to achieve.
Como de puede hacer el centro más pegado
When rolling your strip, tighten the tension in the beginning and loosen up as you continue. Or you can unravel the coil and re-coil by hand to achieve the tension you want. I would also use a needle tool, not the slotted tool.
