Quilling

Origins

Quilling is a paper art technique that involves rolling, shaping, and gluing strips of paper together to create intricate designs. It became popular in the 18th century and gained recognition in the Victorian era for its delicate and ornamental nature. The technique involves using quilling tools to shape the paper strips into various forms such as coils, scrolls, and teardrops, which are then arranged to make intricate patterns and designs. Quilling is known for its use in decorative objects, greeting cards, and framed artwork.
