Dragon Paper Cut-Out
This is a project which requires lots of patience and slow movements. I’m not that great with exacto knives, although I can say that I have quite a steady hand, I tend to go either too slow or too fast. This may someday result in a mistaken cut in a piece of paper or even my hand, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Get These Things:
- exacto knife
- white bristol paper
- coloured paper
- scissors (if you no longer want to use the exacto knife)
Step 1:
Draw a design onto the paper. Basically anything that looks good as a silhouette.
Step 2:
Use your exacto knife and carefully cut the design. Go slowly, and always place your hands behind the blade’s direction to avoid cutting any fingers.
Step 3:
Once the image is cut, place coloured paper behind so the image stands out. Use a stick of glue so it is secure.
And voila!
Now all that is needed is a frame and a wall to hang it!
