The art of decorating items with rolled-up strips of coloured paper goes back to the 15th century, and it has been around ever since. Colourful, easy to learn and versatile, this craft offers many possibilities. This guide helps readers to learn to make greetings cards, Christmas decorations, bridal accessories, decorative items for the home, three-dimensional objects, even a little pink pig. Gold- or silver-edged paper can be used for special effects. Other objects to be made include fringed flowers, folded roses, pinched leaves and rolled flowerpots. Paper strips, one simple tool and a bit of glue is all the equipment needed.
