{ "item_title" : "The Complete Paper Quilling Guide for Beginners", "item_author" : [" Cesar Jerde "], "item_description" : "Your quilled pieces look nothing like the photograph. The shapes are right. The glue is dry. But everything sits heavier than it should, and nobody explained why. Almost always, it is the strip width. Not the rolling technique. Not the adhesive. A 5mm strip where a 3mm belongs produces shapes with completely different visual weight, and that difference determines whether a composition reads as delicate or merely present. Most beginner quilling books treat strip width as a supply decision. This one gives it an entire dedicated chapter, with a reference table you will return to throughout every project you make. When Every Shape Serves the CompositionKnow which strip width each project demands before rolling a single coilMake all 24 foundational shapes from a dedicated library kept open beside your workComplete 40 sequenced projects spanning greeting cards, botanical wall art, and home decorBuild cupped petals, fringed flowers, and rolled roses through full step-by-step sequencesDry-fit every composition before adhesive so problems cost paper, not a finished pieceTroubleshoot coils that will not hold shape, visible adhesive, and crowded compositionsFrame, seal, and display finished work so it holds its character over yearsThe forty projects follow a deliberate sequence. Skip the card chapter and the botanical work becomes a troubleshooting session. Follow it and the lavender stem study becomes genuinely achievable. The Technical Ground Most Books SkipStrip width is a design decision with real visual consequences, not a supply specificationThe circle sizer removes coil diameter variability before it becomes a composition problemAdhesive timing in multi-shape compositions matters more than the quantity appliedValue contrast in quilling does more work than hue contrast, and a squint test confirms itQuilling rewards slow, deliberate work above almost any other paper craft. The physical techniques are genuinely accessible; most people produce a recognizable coil in their very first session. What takes longer is the compositional sense, and this book builds that through forty projects, not through theory. This is the book you keep open on the desk while you work through the forty projects, and the one you come back to when you start designing your own.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/407/9798184074801_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.99", "online_price" : "23.99", "our_price" : "23.99", "club_price" : "23.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
