How To: DIY $10 Macro Photo Studio

What can you use it for?

Quilling Quilling Shapes Daisy Card 3D Lion A closet Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items. In the 18th century, quilling became popular in Europe where gentle ladies of quality ("ladies of leisure") practiced the art. Many quilled art works can be found on cabinets and stands, cribbage boards, ladies' purses, a wide range of both pictures and frames, work baskets, tea caddies, coats of arms and wine coasters.
