Twirled Paper is a fabulous book for anyone who is interested in learning paper quilling. It comes with everything you need to get started - paper, a quilling tool, glue and even googly eyes to add to your creations! It also has instructions on all the types of coils you can make and lots of tips on how to make different shapes with them.

There are detailed instructions on creating all different kinds of insects, fish, farm animals, pets, birds and even aliens. Once you get started it is easy to let your imagination roam free and use the images inside as inspiration to create your own pictures. Quilling is fiddly to get the hang of but this book starts with such simple instructions that it doesn't take too long to get to grips with it and then you can move on to some of the more complicated designs included.

If you've ever wanted to have a go at making your own cards then I'd highly recommend this book, it has enough paper to complete a few different projects and you can easily buy more from any craft shop. This book is a great resource for beginners and people who have been quilling for a while. I've had it for years now and it's the kind of book I dip into every couple of years when I'm in the mood to do something creative.

I thought it might be nice to include a few photos of the latest picture I created:

It was actually Jacqueline Lee’s Twirled Paper that got me hooked into paper quilling. Aside from its easy-to-follow instructions, the book comes with the basic materials (glue, twirling wand, quilling paper, googly eyes) needed to start your quilling projects. Unlike other quilling books that only give ideas on how to make quilled flowers, Twirled Paper lets readers enjoy making fun-looking figures like farm animals, insects, pets and many others. With a little bit more ingenuity, crafters will find themselves creating quilling projects other than those given in this book. What I love about Twirled Paper is the step-by-step approach the author used to guide readers in each quilling project. Not only does this make the craft more enjoyable and addicting, but this actually minimizes waste of quilling materials. This way, you can have more materials to use for future projects. This book is highly recommended for those interested in paper quilling, beginners and experts alike.

الكتاب مخصص لفن رف الاوراق وهو عبارة عن كتاب ملحق فيه صندوق الادوات المكون من اداة للف الاوراق و اوراق مقصووصة جاهزة مختلفة الالوان و غراء ابيض ومسطرة قياس فلينية
اسلوب الكتاب رغم انه باللغة الانجليزية سلس الى حد ما فقد استطاعت ابنتي ذات ال7 انواع تنفيذ مشاريع عديدة من المدرجة فيه الكتاب يبقى مرجع جميل في حال نفذت المواد يمكن الارتجال
اجمل ما في جملون انك تستطيع ان تحصل على كتب مميزة لاطفالك من هذه النوعية و التي يصعب ان تجدها في المكتبات العادية

As is the case with most Klutz books, this one comes with the tools you need to get started and a collection of fun patterns to introduce you to the art of quilling.
