Spring has come and so I want to please loved ones andfamiliar with an unusual gift, unique and unique at the same time. Yes, you can really buy a gift, but it’s much more pleasant than a unique thing created by yourself! Paper twisting technique - quilling will come to the rescue. The technique itself has been known to mankind for a very long time. In the XVI century it was the lot of masters, in the XVIII-XIX centuries, a female passion. The industrial revolution of the twentieth century transferred quilling to the status of a forgotten art, and only now this unique technique of handling colored paper is once again experiencing its new birth. Distinguish between eastern and European quilling schools. Our craft relates specifically to the European style where the number of details is concise and minimal.
