Paper filigree is an art technique based on the usage and manipulation of paper or narrow paper strips to create decoratively designed shapes. The paper is rolled, folded, pressed, looped, curled, twisted, and otherwise manipulated to create an intricate design for decoration. The process usually starts with rolling one strip of narrow paper into a coil, and then squeezing the coil into shapes that can thus be glued together onto a desired surface, to form a desired element of an art composition.
