Wow, these butterflies are beautiful! I used to do quilling back about 40 years ago… made quite a few pictures on velvet – mostly flower and basket ones. I never had that neat template – only paper strips, my small tool and white glue and my background material. Just love seeing things \”resurface\” as hobbies! Elaine

Is there a certain type of paper that is best for this? I love paper crafts, but have never tried this. It looks awesome. I\’m just wondering what paper is best. Thanks:)

There is special paper quilling paper? It comes in strips and is a little thicker than normal paper?
