Paper quilling is enjoying a bold resurgence, with artists who are reinterpreting and revitalising the technique with exciting new ideas. These 50 diverse designs feature breathtaking quilled cards for holidays, special occasions and just for fun. Start with simple, fundamental forms, all shown in close-up photographs that novices can easily follow: a tight roll, teardrop, square, scroll and more.

The old art of quilling, sometimes known as "paper filigree," gets a new guide specially applied to the fast-growing crafts of scrapbooking and handmade greeting cards. Quilling is the simple art of rolling, shaping, and arranging strips of paper to make beautiful designs. It's easy and fun to do, and the supplies are easily available and inexpensive. Some of the designs work for a variety of themes--flowers, alphabets, numbers, and geometric shapes, as well as golf clubs, fishing poles, footballs, hearts, and shamrocks. The 25 card and 20 scrapbook projects emphasize special occasions: a birthday cake with candles, a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day, a graduation cap with tassel, and tiny feet for sending congratulations to parents of newborns.

A complete guide to the centuries-old papercraft that involves curling, coiling, and combining strips of paper into unique designs. With a focus on simple, elegant projects, The Art of Paper Quilling offers paper crafters a complete technique guide along with step-by-step project ideas for making beautiful framed pieces, cards, gifts, and more. The designs are all built upon simple rolled coils of paper that when grouped together, form intricate flowers, graceful butterflies, and delicate scrollwork. Quilled designs can be framed or used to embellish greeting cards, books and journals, and many types of simple paper structures. Claire Sun-ok Choi is an expert paper artist who has influenced the revival of this fanciful art form with her inspiring exhibits and internationally known books.

Beautifully stylised and with a clever use of colour to create exciting effects, these projects will hang well in the most modern of homes. Designs include a butterfly, sail boat, dancer, confetti, cocktail, cloud, heart, cat and mermaid, to name just a few. The projects vary in complexity and will appeal to beginners and experienced quillers alike. They are broken down into concise, fully illustrated step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow, and templates are provided.

Following on from the success of her first book, Sena Runa presents a brand new collection of exciting projects to make. This absorbing pastime can be picked up and put down, fitting into busy lives and offering moments of calm enjoyment.

New Paper Quilling presents a contemporary take on this traditional craft, explaining the basics before taking you to the next level. From a festive mobile featuring colored strips of paper that are crimped before they are quilled, to an unusual altered book niche and tag made with metal instead of paper.
