Quilling is a decorative art form that involves rolling, shaping, and gluing strips of paper to create intricate designs. The strips are typically cut from colored paper and can vary in width. Artists use tools like a quilling needle or slotted tool to help shape the paper into coils, spirals, and other forms, which can then be arranged into patterns or images. This craft has a long history, dating back to the Renaissance when it was used to embellish book covers and religious artifacts. Today, quilling is popular for creating greeting cards, wall art, and other decorative items, appealing to both beginners and experienced crafters.
