Quilling

Quilling, also known as paper filigree, is an art form that involves rolling, shaping, and gluing narrow strips of paper to create decorative designs. Artists manipulate these paper strips into various shapes like coils, scrolls, and teardrops to craft intricate patterns, images, and embellishments. This technique has been used historically for decoration in books, frames, and greeting cards. Quilling combines precision and creativity, allowing for detailed, textured artwork with a delicate appearance. It’s accessible for beginners yet capable of producing highly sophisticated, professional-looking pieces.
