Quilling Paper Crimper-Paplin's made in America metal gears provide a nice crisp crimp to strips from 1/8"-3/8"; adding crimped strips to your work adds texture and interest. Even if you only add a little crimping like in the center of a flower or if you make your flowers with crimped strips. (A package of assorted colors 1/8' strips come with the crimper along with some tips and ideas.) If you look closely at the face of the dragon , you'll notice a lot of crimping to give his face that "dragony" texture.
