Spring is here and the flowers are blooming. I will teach you three ways to cut spring characters.
Tools: red paper, scissors, pencil, eraser.
Type 1:
1. Take a square piece of colored paper and fold it in half along the center line.
2. Draw the spring pattern on the folded colored paper. The upper half is embedded with the copper coin pattern, and the lower half is decorated with the longevity pattern, as shown in the picture below.
3. Cut along the drawn pattern. Most of the patterns are straight lines, so it is easy to cut.
4. After cutting, unfold the red paper and it will be a spring paper-cut. This is a very simple longevity pattern.
The second type:
5. Draw the pattern on the folded red paper.
6. Cut along the pattern. The effect after cutting is as shown in the picture below.
7. After unfolding, it will be the final paper-cut work with the character spring. Compared with the previous pattern, there is an extra horizontal line in the middle of the character longevity pattern.
Third type:
8. Draw a pattern on the folded red paper.
9. Cut out along the drawn pattern.
10. After unfolding, it will be the third paper-cut effect of spring character, which is more difficult.
