"I'm not sure I could ever make such intricate designs like this, but those are beautiful! I tried it with just plain paper (since I threw out all my junk mail) and it looked like a snowflake of sorts but nothing as pretty as these. Now I am waiting for junk mail so I can try again on the real thing. Maybe there's some magic that plain paper doesn't have. )"

"I just remembered that I have a large piece of heavy duty wrapping paper that's plain tan color! With that, I can make a larger garland than four gingerbread men if I am careful to fold it just right. I am thinking of penciling in the eyes and mouth and letting the grandkids color them."

"What a pretty and intricate design! The quilling adds so much texture to the reindeer and almost gives it a realistic feeling."

"I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but, wow, does this open up some possibilities! I have a large roll of freezer paper I bought on a super sale some time back, not even knowing how I was going to use it, but I do now! There's a craft store here that sells plain tshirts for $2 which would make inexpensive personalized gifts!"
