Quilling device

An apparatus for coiling a paper strip, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing;
• a pin having an end positioned external to the housing, the end having a slot elongated along an axis of rotation, the slot being sized to receive the paper strip;
• an enclosure coupled to a surface of the housing, wherein the pin extends from the surface of the housing, and wherein the enclosure comprises a slot;
• and
• a plunger disposed on the housing, wherein the plunger comprises:
• a portion having a protuberance, partially enclosed by the enclosure, wherein the portion is slidably coupled to the enclosure to linearly translate the plunger towards and away from the pin, wherein the protuberance and the slot of the enclosure are configured to prevent a rotary motion and restrict a distance of the linear translation of the plunger away from the pin;
• and
• a plunger head coupled to the portion of the plunger and positioned proximate to the pin, wherein the plunger head comprises a plunger surface aligned to press the paper strip against the pin, and wherein the plunger surface comprises a plurality of steps for accommodating paper strips having different widths, wherein each step comprises:
• a surface portion extending parallel to the pin;
• and
• an edge extending perpendicular from a top end of the surface portion and aligned transverse to the pin, wherein the edge is configured to prevent the paper strip from uncoiling or moving upwards along the axis of rotation and away from the housing.
