It’s that time of year again!
That time when everyone starts racking their brains about what presents to buy for all their loved ones this holiday season.
I thought Iβd share a few thoughts of my own about the perfect gifts for fellow fans of one of my favorite hobbies!
I can’t believe that I never made one before!
It can be hard for friends and families of crafters to buy presents because we are known for always picking up new tools and supplies.
But here is a quilling gift guide full of fun and useful gifts that you can share with your loved ones when they’re asking about … or just keep it as a wish list for yourself!

Metallic paper
Most

Pretty quilling tools
I’ve been quilling with a plain wooden tool for years, and they work just fine. But I’d love to see this set by Juya in my tool caddy.
They come in pale pink, too!
Work lamp
Quilling all those tiny paper strips can start to strain the eyes after a while. I have an adjustable work lamp like this one and it’s made all the difference.
Cutting mat
I know I’ve written about it before, but I really do get a lot of use out of the work mat that I have on my craft table. It’s so convenient to be able to measure out my paper strips at a glance. No more searching for a ruler!
Vintage-inspired scissors
Even though quillers don’t use scissors all that often, a fancy pair can pretty-up any craft zone.
Even if they’re not technically antiques, a unique pair of scissors will absolutely bring a sense of style to any crafter’s tools.
Savvy slotted tool
One of the complaints I hear often is how much quilling can cause wrist pain. I’ve been using the Savvy Slotted Tool by Quilled Creations quite a bit for the last year and I’ve noticed I’ve been getting some relief!
Glue assortment
There are times when one type of glue just won’t do. How about picking up a variety and making a little glue gift basket. It might sound a little goofy, but it would be really thoughtful to a quilling artist!

Cork board
A good, solid cork board can be a useful foundation to build quilling projects on. I have 4, but I could always use a few more.
I prefer this kind of board, but I don’t use the white plastic part. But if you flip it over, the back is a solid, sturdy piece of cork. Pin a sheet of waxed paper down and you’re ready to go!
Storage box
There are many ways to store quilling paper. One of the ways I corralled my paper strips is to store them in a few sturdy boxes. I organize them by color so I can easily find what shade I need in an instant.
Sketchbook
Quillers need a place to draw out their brilliant designs or make notes on the length of the strips they’re using.
I hope this quilling gift guide helps find the perfect present for the craft-lover who already has everything!

Hi Meredith!
I agree that it’s hard for folks who don’t quill to buy gifts for quillers and so this list is a great idea! I’d like to add that as a quiller I never seem to have too many TWEEZERS. I love the ones that are really almost needle fine at the ends because after about 10 years of quilling I use these fine tweezers exclusively to make my coils. This way I don’t have the straight piece that comes in the middle using a coiling tool. It also negates the necessity of having to put down the quilling tool and picking up the tweezers!
I make snowflakes for gifts and to sell at our church holiday fair and find using the PAPERS THAT HAVE COLOR ON ONE EDGE make fabulous snowflakes. This year my favorite is black paper with a silver edgeβstunning, even though it’s the farthest color combo for snowflakes I would ever imagine! Having a CIRCLE TEMPLATE BOARD that has six circles of a variety of sizes make making snowflakes much easier. I’d love to send a photo of the black and silver snowflakes, but I’m not sure it can be down in this comment section.
Thanks for your good work and many ideas!
Sharon
Your snowflakes sound lovely, Sharon. And if youβve read my posts for a while, youβll know I share your love of quilling tweezers, too!
