Quilling 1

There are many types of needlework. With crafts made with your own hands, you can beautifully decorate your home and prepare gifts for loved ones.

Quilling can be divided into several subtypes:

  1. A technique that helps create three-dimensional figures. For this, corrugated paper or cardboard is used. Using this material it is easy to make boxes, vases and cute toys.
  2. Hasting technique. With its help, fragile, sophisticated objects are created. But it is advisable to start making them by watching video lessons to gain special skills.

This type of work requires a lot of time and patience. Only then will it be possible to talk about the result.

Many people compare quilling to origami, but the two art forms are different from each other. The first option is created from hand-cut and hand-rolled leaves of colorful paper. The tubes are shaped and then glued onto paper, forming a specific picture.

You can also do needlework with the whole family, including children in the creative process. This helps develop motor skills and develop an interest in art.

Delight your loved ones with unique gifts.
