Who this list is for
This list is meant for crafters making a single, framed paper quilled monogram sized for an 8 by 10 inch shadow box. It’s suitable for beginners or anyone who wants to make a detailed letter with coils, teardrops, and scrolls, either as a gift or for display.
How to use this list
Start by gathering your 8 by 10 inch shadow box frame and a white cardstock backing sheet. Check for at least 200 assorted-color quilling paper strips. Have both a slotted and a needle quilling tool on hand, plus a quilling board for shaping. Make sure your fine-tip craft glue is fresh and attach the precision glue applicator tip. Tweezers and small scissors help with detail work. Use a pencil and ruler to sketch your monogram outline. Place wax paper sheets under your work to prevent glue from sticking to your table.
What to skip
Don’t substitute regular paper strips for quilling paper; they’re too thick and won’t curl well. Avoid using generic white glue without a fine applicator—it can warp paper or leave visible residue. Skipping the quilling board makes it hard to get uniform coils. Regular frames without depth can crush your finished work, so use a shadow box.
What is on this list
You’ll find an 8 by 10 inch shadow box frame, white cardstock backing, 200 quilling paper strips in assorted colors, a slotted quilling tool, needle quilling tool, quilling board, fine-tip craft glue, precision glue applicator, tweezers, small scissors, pencil, ruler, and two wax paper sheets. Cross off items you already have, but check that glue and tools are in good shape.
After you finish
Let the glue dry completely before framing. Carefully transfer the monogram and backing sheet into the shadow box. Clean glue tips and tools, and store leftover strips flat to avoid creasing. Display your finished piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
