FAQ’s

1) How did it all start?

Honestly, it just started. I had no plans. I don’t have any now either. I love creating things with my hands so I guess it started because of that. I attended the quilling workshop at the ngo – touching lives (touchonelife.org) and … this is one of the reasons I give them my 20% of the sales.

A lot of people have helped me to make it possible… friends, family, well wishers and customers are so very much involved in the process… I can’t make a specialized gift unless the sender is involved in the process. I can’t make recycled cards unless my friends and well wishers give me their used wedding cards. I can’t store the cards unless my aunts and neighbors give me their used boxes. I can’t make cards unless my mom and dad allow me to make a little mess. So it has started with a help of a LOT of people.

2) What are these made of?

Mostly paper.

3) What is paper quilling?

Quilling is known as paper filigree.

It is the art of rolling, bending and pinching paper; then making designs out of the shapes

4) How long will they last?

The cards can be preserved for ever. It looks delicate, but even if you stack 4 to 5 cards, nothing will happen to them.

But you have to be slightly careful with the earrings, avoid wearing them with when your hair is wet and they will last you a long time

5) Can I buy them online?

Yes, you can visit my blog or my online store at efreewebstores and either transfer money online or use paypal

6) Can you custom made some gift?

Yes.

7) What is the recycle drive?

Recycle drive is cards made from used greeting cards. The unprinted matter is used as base or thin strips are cut and used as borders.

Such cards are exclusive and mostly cannot be repeated.

Since my cost of material is low, 25% of my sales goes to Touching Lives from such cards.
