Flowers

Paper Quilling is also known as Paper Filigree. It is  an art of rolling, scrolling, shaping or fringing of narrow strips of paper to create amazing designs and compositions.

Flowers and plants are always favorite themes with quillers.

Quilling is very easy to learn and doesn’t require large investment in specialized tools. To start,  all you need are paper strips, a toothpick or corsage pin and craft glue.

I don’t have any quilling tools. I use a toothpick as rolling  tool  and  mark the measurements with a ruler and cutting paper strips using a razor blade.

It produces amazing results which can be used for decorating birth announcements, wedding invitations, and greeting cards. Quilled papers can also be used to decorate small boxes, or made into jewelry or refrigerator magnets. Large, composite projects can be framed and presented as stand-alone art.

The most important thing to remember about using glue is that only a small amount is needed - too much glue will ruin your lovely project.
