    Heard of it, seen it, not "into" it.

    I did some quilling. Used the hand shredder for fast cutting strips.

    I did quilling years ago. It was a cheap hobby, as hobbies go. I didn't have much success as I had little ones at home at the time and they tended to get into everything!

    It's like most paper crafts, if you get into the specialty papers designed just for that craft it can be quite pricey to get a variety.
    As someone else mentioned, you could use a paper shredder to do the cutting for you, but most times the shreds would be wider than is usually used.

    I do quilling....I've even done little quilt blocks. If you do a google search for quilling papers you will get a ton of sites...here's one.

    There are also a bunch of free patterns out there too.

    The supplies are actually very inexpensive and you don't need a ton of tools.....
