	PDF PDF: Quilling Guide

Project by Alison Connors.

Quilling is the fine art of twirling and curling paper strips to create beautiful three-dimensional embellishments. Whether you want to embellish a card, picture frame, or scrapbook page, quilling is easier than it looks. A twist here and a pinch there; before you know it, your quilling has come to life! The possibilities of what you can create are only limited by your imagination.
