Five steps of paper cutting

Paper-cutting is mainly divided into five steps, which are: determining the pattern-preparing materials-drawing the pattern you want on the cardboard-folding paper according to the drawn pattern-and finally cutting off the hollowed-out part of the line with scissors.

1. Determine the pattern: First, confirm the pattern you need for paper cutting. Only when the pattern is determined can paper-cutting be handy. Beginners are advised not to choose complicated patterns, but to choose regular and symmetrical patterns, otherwise mistakes will easily occur in the subsequent paper-cutting steps.

2. Preparation materials: There are not many materials needed for paper cutting, usually cardboard, brushes, scissors and art knives.

3. Draw the figure you want on the cardboard: Draw the figure gently with a brush, not too deep, so as not to leave too obvious painting marks in the process of cutting out the work.

4. Fold the paper according to the drawing: This step is very simple. Just fold it back and forth according to the drawing. Pay attention to symmetrical folding?

5. Paper-cutting: After folding in half, slowly cut off the hollowed-out part of the line with scissors. If you encounter a place that is difficult to cut, you can cut it slowly with a utility knife. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid paper damage.
