Second try

Second Try
12/2/16

Hey, welcome back!

After succeeded in my paper-cutting first try last week, this week I did my second paper-cutting which is also the second product of level 1. This one looks like a flower. 




Things you need to prepare before doing it:
Craft knife
Cutting board
Regular scissors
Color-papers
Pencil and eraser

Let’s start to have some fun now!

The steps are the same as last time.

First, cut the color-paper into square. (I used the paper with the same patterns as last week.) The dimension of my square is still 15cm*15cm since I think it is a good size for beginners to practice.



Then, fold the square into triangles two times like this.

After folding, draw the outlines of the patterns that you are going to cut. Do not draw the patterns so small.

Finally, cut it. (You can use regular scissors if the part starts from the edge; otherwise, you need to use craft knife to cut it carefully.)


Then, open it. Isn’t that cute? ^.^

Next week, I am going to the last product of level one (easy-practice). And I am going to see my paper-cutting teacher in China during Christmas break. Then, I'll start doing level two, median, products after I come back. 
Welcome back to see my blog if you like my project. ^ ^
