Take a piece of coloured paper or thin card, and cut a thin strip that’s about 1cm wide

ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Then take a paintbrush, and tightly roll the strip around the handle, from one end to the other or do it with scissors

Once you’ve rolled it all up, remove the paintbrush and let the curled paper spring out

You now have a tightly curled spiral of paper

You can repeat this technique with different colours of paper, and different lengths

Here you can see a very short piece of rolled up purple paper

Using a longer strip this time, you get a large white spiral

This technique is called "quilling"

Here's a blue strip of paper. Instead of being rolled all the way to the end, it's been stopped about half-way

The result is a strip that’s straight, with a small curl at one end

ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Another technique is to curl both ends of the strip

Just go to the other end, and start rolling it back on itself around a paintbrush

So now you that you can curl the paper, it's very easy to start making pictures with it

Here's a flower, for example

Just put all your curls in the place you want, and then glue them to the paper.
