Holiday Wreath Quilled Card - Default Title (5405490)
Holiday Wreath Quilled Card

Send a handwritten note on this handmade Holiday Wreath Quilled Card. You can feel the skill and care it takes to make these textured, handcrafted cards with beautiful scalloped edges. The wreath is quilled paper with leaves and berries in green and red with screenprinted leaves and branches. Celebrate the holiday season by sending a note to friends and family while making a difference in the lives of the artisans who handcraft. Recycled paper is carefully wound around a quill. The coils are then glued into Christmas wreaths. It's an art that dates back hundreds of years. Today, these quilled paper designs are handcrafted by artisans working with Mai Handicrafts in Vietnam. Many of the artisans are women who can work in their homes using this traditional skill, earning sustainable incomes while caring for their children.
