Glue

What a complete and utter numpty I am! In my introduction to quilling yesterday, I forgot to mention a key product - GLUE.

The thing about quilling and glue is the motto "less is more." When you first start quilling you need to get a good quality PVA glue. The one below is the one I use and have used for 10 years or more. That large bottle was bought about 5 years ago and I fill my little fine point glue bottle up with it.

Perhaps to start with if you do not have a fine point glue bottle you can just put some on a saucer or a jar lid and use a cocktail stick. One good idea that lots of people use is to fill a contact lens holder with glue and when you are not using it screw the lid back on and it will keep for a while.

However if you are going to be serious about quilling a fine tip bottle is the thing you need. It dollops just the right amount out and is one of the most useful crafty things I have ever bought.
