Quilling or filigree was invented over five hundred years ago, when artists discovered that narrow strips of paper could be rolled, scrolled, fluted, and fringed, and then arranged on their edges to create beautiful designs.
Perhaps quilling's greatest attraction, however, is that it's just plain fun. A quilling mistake never costs more than a few minutes' time to repair, and a quilling success is almost incredibly versatile: it can hang on a wall, decorate a box, embellish a gift card, be suspended from a window or doorway , or even deck a holiday wreath.
