My daughter was assigned an art project where she had to do 'quilling'. I had no idea what this was and have never seen it before. I ended up helping her a little and it was so much fun. I went to Walmart to see if they had a quilling tool but they didn't, so we just used a wooden skewer. It would be easier if you have the tool. I became so enthralled and good, that I made a butterfly.
I think I'm going to take this up as a hobby. Here's a video of the basic technique and shapes one can make from a simple paper circle. This video is good because with Xmas coming up, you can make Xmas decorations:
