Reasons for double rolling:
For double rolling, two strips of quilling paper must be joined together at the ends. In this example, we use two colors of quilling paper – yellow and orange. We use a slotted tool to roll the strips into a quilled coil.
Roll the paper strips to make a coil. Use a pair of scissors to cut the end of the inner strip to make it shorter. The yellow strip is on the outside and orange strip on the inside. As the orange strip is on the inside, we have to cut it to make it shorter.
Loosen the coil to the desired size. Apply a little glue to the yellow end of the paper strip and close the loop to finish off. The result is a two-toned loose coil. This method is double rolling.
The following example uses the double rolling technique with an additional paper strip attached to it. This gives a triple color effect in a single coil.
