Supplies to make the Quilled Christmas Presents Gift Tag
How to make a quilled square or Rectangle shape
To make a diamond or a square, first, you need to create a basic marquis shape. After shaping, rotate the marquis 90 degrees and then pinch both sides again. This will create a diamond shape. If you want to make a square, gently open up the shape between your fingers to complete.
Rectangles and squares are made very similarly. The difference is in how much you rotate the marquis shape before pinching additional angles. Rotate it only slightly before pinching and then open the shape to reveal the perfect rectangle. You can also add 2 differently colored strips together to form a square or rectangle.

2nd, cut another piece of 5mm quilling paper, and then roll the ends with a to form a bow shape and stick it on the top of the square to form a gift box.
You could also twirl a piece of quilling paper around a toothpick to create swirls. Thes look really nice as ribbons too. Make a few in different colors & shapes – rectangles, squares, tall & short. Stick them on a gift tag to resemble a pile of presents.
