      INTRODUCTION

      Roll the paper, stick and shape it. After that roll another paper strip, stick and shape it. Do that again and again! These are three simple steps which define the technique named quilling.

      Quilling is an ancient form of art, accessible to any body and also inexpensive. It isn’t highly exacting and the needed tools and materials are affordable. You can use materials from the bookstore or whatever you find in the house. Through this technique you have the possibility to accomplish amazing works of art. The book "Quilling basics: Discover the magic world of surprises in quilling" approaches the quilling technique, also known as paper filigree.

      How does it work? It’s simple: you put a strip of paper through the eye of a needle and roll the needle until the paper ends. You’ll obtain a coil. From here, things can evolve in accordance with the artist’s desire, pinching the coil into diversified shapes: triangles, squares, diamonds, teardrops or other personalized models.

      Quilling is a wonderful technique and quite easy. Working with quilling helps to improve your imagination, it reduces stress and will lead to good profits for those who want to approach the business part of this art. Any gifted person will realize that paper filigree is much easier than painting or drawing. Here you are allowed to mix colours and materials, to let your imagination free, and to diversify shapes which only an artist’s imagination can come up with.

      Do you want to find out how creative you are?

      Roll the paper and bring it alive. Create new shapes, found quilling clubs and help others to enjoy the magic of this art. As I have previously mentioned, the quilling can embrace the business part which can go hand in hand with pleasure and fun, and for the young ones it is a good
