Paper Quilling for All Occasions, a Quilling Book with Supplies

Have you longed to learn to do paper quilling, but haven't known where to start? Do you like to enhance your handmade cards and gifts with small pretties? Do you enjoy having fresh supplies at your fingertips when you're ready to learn a new paper craft? Do you know an older child or teenager who is into crafting?

 

 

If so, I bet you'll be interested in this new paperback book/kit that is a brand new release in North America  - Paper Quilling for All Occasions: Lovely Cards, Decorations & Gifts You Can Make Today! It contains more than 30 projects designed by Japanese quiller Mire Takayama, colorful quilling strips in two widths (1/8 and 1/4-inch), and a slotted quilling tool.

 

 

You'll find an array of traditional quilling projects to choose from... flowers, snowflakes, hearts, balloons, cute little animals and more. There are sections that explain tools and materials, how to shape individual quilled coils and scrolls, as well as two types of fringed flowers and three styles of dimensional paper roses, and clearly written instructions for making each project. 

 

 

 

 

You'll learn how to combine quilled shapes to decorate handmade cards, gift tags, and gift boxes. With practice you'll go from recreating these projects to designing your own!

 

 

 

If you are familiar with Japanese craft books, you'll know that they are highly regarded. The publisher, Zakka Workshop, is located in Massachusetts where it specializes in translating and reproducing Japanese craft books for the English-speaking market. This title was originally published in Japan in 2010. 

 

 

If you're the curious sort (like me)... what is zakka? This explanation is from the publisher's website: Zakka (雑貨), or "many things," is a fashion and design phenomenon that spread from Japan throughout the world. The term refers to anything and everything that improves your home, life, and appearance.

Here at Zakka Workshop, we publish distinctive craft books, patterns, and kits with this philosophy in mind... the Zakka Workshop team has experience making authentic Japanese projects accessible to English-speaking crafters. We are inspired by fresh, contemporary Japanese design and aim to make it available to sewists, crafters, quilters, stitchers, and makers around the world!
