Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted, and otherwise manipulated to create shapes that makeup designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and make models.
The one created by the company is composed of 191,948 strips of paper in 18 colors.
Quilling Card said the strips of paper would stretch for 64 km if they were arranged end-to-end.
"As a company, we've spent a decade producing greeting cards that allow recipients to keep small pieces of quilled art on their mantels and bookshelves," Quilling Card co-founder and CEO Huong Wolf said in a press release.
