Paper quilling is an art that was popular amongst women in the 18th century in Europe. Most women created quilling art to decorate their jewellery boxes and other ornaments, such as picture frames.

Modern quilling is found more commonly in greeting cards, Christmas tags and tree decoration items. Contemporary artists create wearable jewellery such as earrings, pendants, bracelets and the like. Many even create paper sculptures with the art of quilling.
