It is the art of rolling or coiling and shaping small strips of paper to create a pattern or design. The technique dates back to Egyptian times. Sources say that during the Renaissance, nuns and monks would roll gold-gilded paper remnants trimmed during the bookmaking process and use them to decorate religious objects as an alternative to costly gold filigree. In later centuries the art of Quilling became a favorite pastime of European ladies who would decorate household items with the quilling techniques. The art got its name due to the use of bird's feathers (quill) to coil the paper upon. The art found its way to America with the pilgrims. Today, quilling is still practiced throughout the globe as an art form of creating three-dimensional art. New to Poshmark?
