Frequently asked questions about rolled paper crafts.
Rolled paper craft, also known as 'Quilling' is a method for using paper to decorate something in order to make a three dimensional art.
The paper used in this project is first cut into small strips.
After being cut into strips, the rolled paper is then glued on to a base to make a three dimension wreath ornament.
This craft idea is actually surprisingly easy to do, considering how nice the finished wreath looks.
After cutting the strips of paper and then rolling them up, the strips are glued on to the base. We then add the finishing touches which include a bow and loop on the back to use as a hanger.
Tips for making a curled paper wreath.
My paper strips were made using a child sized scissors because the strips are so small. Really, and smaller scissors could work for cutting small strips.
More tips for you
- If you have difficulty curling your paper strips try using a q-tip or pencil to wrap the stripes around for curling.
- Glue the ends of the strips to the body after curling and before putting the curls down. This will help keep the curls tight and in place.
- To make the wreath base you can use two cans of different sizes that can be traced and then cut out. Use a sturdier paper or cardboard for the base if needed as well.

How to make a rolled paper wreath.
Step One: prepare.
To make the base for the wreath, you will need to cut a circle and a hole in the circle out of the cardstock paper. I suggest that you use something round, like two different sized cans, to trace the circles and then cut them out.
Step Two: prepare the strips.
- Cut out paper strips that are ⅓-1/2" wide (depending on the size of your circle base) and about three to four inches long.
- To roll the strips, you can roll the papers between your thumb and index fingers or use something such as a pencil tip instead.
- Once the strips have been rolled you can glue the end to the roll itself to so that the strip can stay rolled in place.
- Note that my red strips are a bit smaller and rolled a bit tighter to make them resemble berries.
Step Three: Finish the wreath.
Glue the rolled strips on to the base that you made in the first step. Then make a bow from the ribbon and attach that to the bottom of the wreath. Lastly, loop a piece of ribbon and attach it to the back of the wreath to hang the wreath as desired.
