That's the foundation of quilling, a popular paper craft with origins in Renaissance-era Europe that has evolved into a wide breadth of fashionable projects--thanks, in part, to Bartkowski's cache of how-to's <b>(</b><i>Quilled Flowers</i>, 2012; <i>Quilled Mandalas</i>, 2018). She's thorough, covering basics in photographic and narrative detail, from the more unusual tools needed (like a crimper and curling coach) to the step-by-step tutorials on such shapes as the crescent and the triangle. Since this volume celebrates Christmas, readers will expect projects, yet the actual designs are rather startling, in a delightful way: a "can't believe it's paper" nutcracker; an intricate manger scene; a set of Christmas lights in jewelry; and the pièce de résistance, a Christmas-tree centerpiece. Categorized as home decor, ornaments and stocking stuffers, or greeting cards and gift <br> packaging, each pattern features level of difficulty, shapes, techniques, dimensions, instructions, and photographs and diagrams. An even better incentive? Quick-to-make and inexpensive gifts just in time for the holidays." --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alli Bartkowski works, teaches, and writes on the forefront of the paper quilling industry with her creative kits and innovative tools.
