The Quilling Crimper tool - An overview

The crimper tool is a device with two cogs and a handle, small and easy to carry in a pocket. This tool helps to make a wavy pattern in quilling strips that will give a unique style to your projects, be it 2D or 3D. When I purchased this tool, way back when I started quilling, ofcourse, I started collecting all the tools one by one seeing the net, I was making few 2D projects and decided to try making them using crimped strips. It definitely was fun making them and kids took turns in crimping the strips. It became a great holiday fun activity too.

Things to be noted while crimping:
5 mm strips get easily crimped, so do 7 mm.
If you donot keep the 10 mm strip properly a half of the strip is not crimped.
The 3 mm strips tend to get entangled in the cogs, so handle it carefully by holding one end of the strip.
