How is a Paper Fringer Useful to Me for Quilling?

Have you considered purchasing a paper fringer? Once you have started to gain some experience of quilling you may want to experiment with different techniques. One technique you may want to consider is fringing which is simply making small regular cuts in your paper strips to form a "fringe". These fringed pieces of paper can then be made into such intricate shapes as flowers.

Of course there is nothing to stop you making these cuts by hand using a sharp pair of scissors, but getting these even can be extremely difficult, not to mention the fact that it is extremely time consuming and tedious. If you are looking to make a large number of flowers then you may want to think about buying a paper fringer. This is a device which fringes your paper strips for you. It is simply a case of loading the paper strip into the tool raising and lowering the lever and you will have a perfectly fringed strip of paper ready to make into your desired shape.

You can buy 90 degree and 45 degree fringers. The 90 degree fringers are great for making flowers, while the 45 degree fringers are more suitable for making such items as leaves.

Whether or not you feel the need to buy a fringer is entirely dependent upon how adventurous you are and whether you are likely to make a large number of flowers and other fringed designs.
