What is Paper Quilling?
Paper Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips
of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create
decorative designs.
The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise
manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings
cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles etc.
Quilling starts with rolling a strip of paper into a coil and then
pinching the coil into shapes that can be glued together.
There are advanced techniques and different sized paper
that are used to create 3D miniatures, abstract art, and quilled flowers
among many things.
