Happy Quilling

Paper Quilling is the art of creating decorative designs from thin strips of curled paper.



Because of how scrapped of paper were wrapped around goose quilles to create "coiled shapes", it was later known as "Quilling".

Welcome to My Happy Quilling!!!








Welcome to the world of Paper Quiling. Here's a little history for you all:


Quilling is the art of creating decorative designs from thin strips of curled paper. The age old art dates back to the 3-4 centuries during the time when the nuns used small edges trimmed from the bible to create simple but beautiful forms of artistry.


Using simple tools, long stripes of paper are tightly wound and released to form complicated and complex shapes. This form of art is also known as "filligree".


Because of how the scrap of paper were wrapped around goose quilles to creates "coiled shapes", it was later known as "quilling".
