Martin (Creative Paper Quilling) demonstrates a different use for quilled paper creations in this collection of jewelry projects featuring scrolls, coils, and other quilled designs. It begins with an overview of quilling supplies, including tips on workspace organization and supply storage, followed by a tutorial on the coil and scroll shapes used in the projects. Each individual design lists the particular shapes used, which is especially helpful for beginners, as well as the necessary tools and jewelry findings, plus illustrated instructions. Designs range from simple earrings featuring tight coils to elaborate pendants with coils, scrolls, and coils sculpted into a variety of shapes.
VERDICT This beautiful collection opens up numerous options for quilling beyond the standard surface decoration and may inspire crafters to give this ages-old craft a try.
