Paper quilling is the art of rolling, shaping, and arranging narrow strips of paper into decorative designs and intricate works of art. With only a few basic tools and techniques, quilling can be used to create greeting cards, framed artwork, jewelry, ornaments, scrapbook embellishments, gift tags, home décor, and countless other creative projects. Suitable for beginners and experienced paper crafters alike, quilling combines patience, creativity, and precision to transform simple paper strips into beautiful three-dimensional designs.
Although many quilled projects appear complex, they are often built from a relatively small collection of basic shapes and techniques. By learning how to roll consistent coils, form common shapes, select the proper paper widths, and assemble pieces neatly, crafters can quickly progress from simple beginner projects to detailed floral designs, animals, landscapes, monograms, and decorative artwork.
This collection of quilling helps and reference information is continually growing.
