You can make paper for quilling yourself. For this you need to take album sheets, using a ruler to measure on the narrow side of the sheet a five-millimeter strip. Cut the strips with scissors or a stationery knife. A snowflake will take some time, and she also recommends the presence of an adult.

How to make a quilling snowflake, a master class
To make snowflakes you will need:
PVA glue
White acrylic paint
Toothpicks
White paper for quilling 34 segments of 10 centimeters long
Leska
Step-by-step instruction:
To form a snowflake, you need the workpieces: hearts, droplets, circles and S-shaped shapes.
Toothpicks dye white. Allow to dry. Cut 6 toothpicks to a length of 4 centimeters. Cut off 20 centimeters of fishing line. Strip for quilling wrap around a toothpick tight spiral. Dissolve the spiral to a diameter of 0.6 centimeters. Secure the tip of the strip with glue. Cut off the toothpicks with glue to attach to the round billet.
To stick toothpicks it is necessary on horizontalsurface, so that neat symmetrical rays of the snowflake are obtained. Cut a piece of fishing line as a loop to one of the toothpicks at the top. Make the workpiece of the heart - 6 pieces. To do this, strip the quilling bend in half, using the toothpick ends to bend inward towards each other.
Make the blanks of the droplet - 6 pieces. To do this, wind a tight spiral on the toothpick, or another tool. Dissolve up to a diameter of just over 0.8 centimeters. On the one hand, bend your fingers to make an acute angle. Blanks-droplets paste inside the heart-shaped blanks.
At the junction of every two beams-toothpickspaste on the workpiece, a heart, with a droplet glued to the center. The amount of glue should be small, to glue all elements to each other on a flat horizontal surface. To make 24 workpieces in the form of a letter S. To do this, the ends of the strip for quilling with a toothpick or other tool, bend in opposite directions symmetrically.
Paste on the toothpicks-rays of two S-billets withof both sides of the toothpicks. Toothpicks-rays must be completely filled with quilling figures, only the tip itself can remain uncovered. Leave the snowflake to dry on a flat horizontal surface.
