Quilling consists of rolling, shaping, and arranging narrow strips of paper into fabulous designs. And, as sales for The Book of Paper Quilling (upwards of 77,000 copies) proved, this centuries-old craft is experiencing a bold resurgence. These striking projects are state of the art, showcasing a contemporary color palette. They incorporate unusual materials like metal strips and vellum and use the newest paraphernalia, such as crimpers and embossing tools, to embellish the paper before it's quilled. Dozens of close-up images present all the basic shapes and techniques. The many wonderful things to make include a show-stopping wedding tablescape, festive mobile, bright butterfly to adorn a simple shelf, home decor items, and scrapbook embellishments.
