The history of quilling is not clear as it is believed that it started just after the invention of paper itself. However, it is known that thin metal wires were often quilled to make decorative ornaments like rings, earrings, and other jewelry. Paper was later used in place of metal due to its availability and cheaper cost.
The process of paper quilling is similar to traditional lace making and sewing as you use a needle tool to flex the paper into different shapes. It is a fun and satisfying craft that you can do on your own or with friends, and the results are so impressive! It is also a great craft for children as there is no heat or cutting required. You’ll need a few basic supplies to get started. One package of silver-edged paper is enough to make multiple earrings, and a fine tip glue bottle helps you limit the amount of glue used for each loop! Paper Quilling Jewelry
