Paper quilling ideas made by rolling strips of paper
Paper quilling is a craft made by combining parts created from thin strips of paper rolled up tightly.
It is said to have originated with European nuns, who created it to decorate religious items.
The name comes from the quill—the bird feather shaft—around which the paper was originally wound.

Snowflakes
Let’s make snowflakes with paper quilling that could also work as Christmas tree ornaments.
To start, prepare 12 tight circles and 18 heart pieces.
For the hearts, fold a strip of paper in half and glue both ends to the crease.
Next, make six pieces where the left and right sides of the heart are glued together, and six more heart pieces with a tight circle sandwiched and glued in the center.
After that, all you have to do is assemble them! Begin by gluing the heart parts with a tight circle into a flower shape.
Once you’ve made the parts, it’s just a matter of gluing them together, so it’s easier to make than it looks!
In conclusion
Paper quilling, which is made by repeating simple steps, hinges on the stage where you glue each part together with bond or other adhesives after creating them. By adjusting the placement and angles of the parts, you can create highly polished decorations. It’s also appealing that adding them to a gift for someone special or to your interior brings a touch of elegance. Give paper quilling a try and enjoy the warm, natural feel of motifs like flowers and living creatures.
