Method:
Take a strip of quilling paper .
I would advise you to begin with the slotted quilling tool that is normally provided in a quilling starter kit. Later you may want to move on to using a needle tool or toothpick.

Now take your piece of paper and gently put the
end into the slot in the tool. Make sure that only the tiniest bit of paper
protrudes through to the other side of the slot. Then, holding the tool in your
dominant hand and the paper between your other thumb and index finger, slowly
turn the quilling tool so that the paper winds evenly around the tip. Try to
keep the edges of the paper lined up
Keep rolling on till you get the desired size.Then let go and turn the tool upside down, allowing the quilled coil to fall off onto the table. The paper will begin to uncoil a little, don't panic, it is supposed to do that. Leave it to "relax" a little and then when it stops uncoiling use a toothpick with a tiny dot of tacky glue on the end to stick the end of the paper in place.
Hold the paper together for a moment or two
until the glue dries.
