What does Paper Quilling have to do with a craft business? Well… if it becomes popular to purchase items that have exquisite quilled embellishments… shouldn't you already know how to use quilling paper and quilling tools?

How old is the art of quilling? 

"I forgot to tell you that my new bonnet flares a great deal, and that I have white lace quilling round the face with little black dotty things in it on stems.

They don't wear those close cottage bonnets now. And aunt has had my dresses made longer and my pantalettes shorter, so that they hardly show at all.

She says I shall soon wear long dresses, I am getting so tall. Alice wears them now, and her feet look so pretty, and she has such pretty slippers: little French purple ones, and sometimes ark green, and sometimes beautiful light gray, to go with different dresses.

I don't care for anything but the slippers, but I should like such ones as hers. Aunt says I can't, of course, as long as I wear black, but I can have purple ones next summer to wear with my white dresses. "

So it seems that paper quilling wasn't called quilling in 1893. It is however a craft that will never go out of style completely. The popularity of quilling comes and goes… it seems to be in somewhat of an upswing right now. Did you know that quilling is one of the least expensive crafts to get started with? It really only requires a small bit of specialty quilling paper, a beginners book and a few quilling tools.
