Quilling or filigree paper is an art form involving the use of rolled, shaped, and glued paper strips to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled, looped, rolled, twisted, and manipulated to create shapes that make up the design to decorate greeting cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobile phones etc. Quilling begins by rolling a piece of paper into a coil and then pinching the coils into glued forms. There are sophisticated techniques and different sized paper used to create 3D miniature, abstract art, and quilled flowers among many things.

Histori
During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate the covers of books and religious objects. The most commonly used paper is a piece of paper trimmed from the edge of a gilded book. These gold-plated papers are then rolled up to create quilled shapes. Quilling often mimics the original iron of the day.
In the 18th century, quilling became popular in Europe where ladies of leisure practiced art. That is one of the few things that women can do that are not overloaded with their gentle thoughts or tendencies. Quilling also spread to America and there are some examples from Colonial times.
Many quilled artworks can be found in cupboards and stands, cribbage boards, women's wallets, various drawings and frames, work baskets, tea caddies, hand crafted and wine coasters. Storage boxes, larger than most jewelry boxes with opened drawers and/or tops, lacy lock boxes, and more popular are quilling jewelry in recent times becoming a trend for fashion lovers, as they can be very light and easy to carry. Some items are designed specifically for quilling with a hidden surface. Quilling is also combined or married with other techniques such as embroidery and painting.
Today, quilling sees a resurgence of popularity with quillers on every continent and in every walk of life. No longer limited to "upscale", this is a form of folk art and its artistic beauty is always widespread thanks to innovators and the rapidly growing number of quillers. Quilling is great for all ages thanks to the simplicity of the technique and how relaxed it is. The craft is becoming increasingly popular due to the low material cost. It's used to decorate wedding invitations, for Christmas, birth announcements, greeting cards, scrapbook pages, and boxes. Quilling can be found in art galleries in Europe and in the United States and is an art that is practiced all over the world. One of the most famous quilling artists of modern times is the Russian artist Yulia Brodskaya.

Tools
Slotted tool
The slotted tool is the most important quilling tool because it makes curling curls easier and faster. The quality of the coil feels higher than the coil that is curled up with a toothpick or hand. For younger children, it is recommended that Curling Coach be used with a slotted tool.
Needle Tool
The needle tool plays a supporting role in the craft. It is used primarily to apply glue to areas that are difficult to reach from coils or quilling designs.
Tweezers
Tweezers are used to handle smooth rolls to prevent warping and unraveling. They keep rolls of the same size that are important when making something with a duplicate roll, like flower petals. Tweezers also help in loading paper in a narrow space.
Sizer circle rider
The ruler of the sizer circle is very important in making the rolls to be the desired size after the curling. The ruler on the side is used to measure each strip to ensure the same length before curving.
Curling Coach
Curling coaches make a great compliment tool for slotted tools and are recommended for younger kids and for people who like to mine 3D miniature. It makes stripping much faster and easier than if they curled up just with a slotted tool.
Crimper tools
This tool is used to create crimped quilling strips. This helps create a different pattern.
Paper type
Quilling Paper is available in the consumer market in more than 250 colors and dimensions. These can be divided into various categories, such as Quilling colored paper, Quilling ready made paper, Quilling two-tone paper, Quilling-free acid paper and Quilling assorted papers. These are available in various dimensions, such as 1/8 ", Ã,¼" and 3/8 extensive paper packages.
Acid Free
As the name clearly indicates this is a paper that is completely acid-free. Quality makes it a great choice to make scrapbooks, rubber stamping, and make frames for pictures. This ensures your project will last a lifetime, without any side effects on the picture or framed album.
Passed
This paper type provides an outstanding display for decorative quilling projects. The edges have a solid color that gradually fades into white. When using inherited paper, the quilling ring begins with a dark color but eventually fades to the brighter side. Instead, some papers begin with white, or lighter colors, and then slowly fade into a dark, dense color.
Two-Tone
This is an important type of quilling paper. This is very similar to the quilling paper that passed in its use. The display consists of concrete colors on one side and a relatively lighter color on the other. With two-tone paper the color remains the same, but the color intensity is different. The main use of this quilling paper is to provide the desired level of softness to the filled subject. It has the capacity to patch a lot of paper in one spiral.
