Care for Paper Quilling

Paper quilling artwork is delicate but beautiful, and with proper care, it can last for many years. Here are some tips to help you keep your quilling pieces looking their best:

Display:
Limit light exposure: Direct sunlight can fade the colors of your quilling paper. 

Protect from heat and humidity: Avoid displaying your artwork near heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, and in areas with high humidity like bathrooms. Humidity can cause the paper to warp and the glue to loosen.

Handling:
Wash your hands: Before handling your quilling artwork, wash your hands thoroughly and dry them completely. Oils from your skin can damage the paper.

Avoid touching the quilling elements: As much as possible, avoid directly touching the delicate quilling shapes with your fingers. Use gloves or handle the artwork by the edges.

Dust gently: If dust accumulates on your artwork, use a soft, dry brush to dust it gently. Avoid using cleaning products or water, as they can damage the paper.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your paper quilling artwork remains beautiful and enjoyable for years to come. If you have any further questions or specific concerns about your artwork, feel free to ask!
