Quilling, an art for everyone!
How to decorate with paper using the quilling technique. Quilling, or paper filigree, is a decorative artistic technique that uses strips of paper to create various shapes that form characters and decorative patterns. It’s a very versatile art, great for creating party favours, greeting cards and even a book sleeve, just like during the Renaissance period. Yes, you read that right! This technique that seems so modern and innovative, was actually used by monks and nuns to decorate books and other religious items. Then they would add a gold finishing to give it a regal look. One of the pros of this technique is that it’s sustainable and also low-cost!…

More than simply convenient and hygienic… Stylish!
Fighting the massive use of plastic nowadays means first of all to pay attention to our daily actions and to consciously recycle this material, originally not intended to be a “throwaway” material (since its formula is virtually ever-lasting!). And it also means to be ready not to use plastic, when it’s not strictly needed! The old plastic cases, which toothbrushes used to be marketed in were probably among the very first plastic packaging to disappear from our supermarkets some time ago… And fortunately enough, we can say now! However, first of all when you travel, the idea of having your toothbrush “wandering” free in your beautycase, likely to get in…
