6. BORDER BUDDY:B This tool comes in a set of three structures together that is Square, circle and triangle. Connect the structure you want to use to the base, and start wrapping a quilling strip around apply a bit of glue to avoid the slipping of the strip, wrap it all around and slide the desired shape out. Secure the end with glue to retain the shape.
