What is Quilling?
Paper quilling is the art of rolling thin strips of paper around a
needle-like tool or by hand to make intricate shapes and designs. It
is also called paper filigree or paper curling. It is an art form that requires precision, time and patience. A quilled design could contain
a few coils or scrolls to hundreds of individual coils. Quilling is thought to have begun before the sixteen century by
monks and nuns to preserve the edges of books and/or embellish
religious artifacts. The art of quilling became dormant at the end of
1800’s. Now it is slowly gaining popularity through the internet. You
