Frequently Asked Questions About the Quilled Paper Wreath Ornament
-
What does the Quilled Paper Wreath Ornament look like, and how big is it?
It is a 4-inch wreath of green leaves and red holly berries, each formed from a single strip of colored paper that is coiled, wrapped, and pinched into shape by hand. It's finished with a quilled paper bow and comes with a hanging string attached. It's an affordable décor option priced at just $12.
-
How durable is a paper ornament?
More durable than it looks. Rolling and gluing the coils tightly gives the wreath a firm structure, and because it's so light, it won't bend branches or break if it falls. Handle it by the edges instead of pressing on the center coils, and keep it away from moisture.
-
Why is this one of SERRV's most popular ornaments?
It combines a classic holiday image with a craft that people are surprised to find is made of paper. Its small price also makes it easy to buy several. It's a favorite to give in groups, such as to teachers, coworkers, or a whole team, and SERRV includes it in its corporate gift selection.
-
Does it pair with other quilled pieces?
Yes. It matches the larger Quilled Paper Holly Wreath for a door or wall, and it hangs well alongside SERRV's other quilled ornaments, such as the snowflake, angel, and woodland bird sets, for a tree trimmed entirely in paper.

Who makes it?
It's quilled by artisans at Mai Handicrafts in southern Vietnam, a SERRV fair trade partner that provides training, steady employment, and support to marginalized artisans, especially women artisans working out of their homes.
