Obviously quilled craft works are comprised of lots of different shapes each made individually by the quilter.  Because of this each quilter will have their own unique shapes and techniques but there are, of course, lots of standard quilling shapes.  One of the most useful shapes to master is the circle.  The circle can be either tight or loose with a tight circle being one of the easiest shapes to do well.  To make a tight circle use a strip of paper between 4 and 5 inches long by 1/8 inch wide.  Moisten one end and wind tightly around your quilling tool pressing the paper with your thumb.  When fully wound glue one end and hold until dry.  The finished tight circle can be used for the centres of flowers.
