Papercuts

by Louise Firchau

The techniques and material involved in paper cutting are fairly simple and easy to explain, and this will be covered at the start of the book. Each project will then consist of a template, which will be reproduced full-size on the right-hand page, and a finished paper cut styled shot based on that design, on the left, together with the instructions. Because of the nature of the craft, very little step-by-step instruction is required, so this will take up very little room. The designs will be simple enough for beginners, though attractive and interesting enough to inspire more advanced paper cutters, and the finished paper cuts will be cut from a variety of colored and white papers and mounted on different colored backgrounds. They will also be coded with the level of difficulty from 1-5.

I never get bored of these fabulous '20 to Make' books..

Perfect for all crafters and especially if you have not tried the craft and want to just have a go.

I am a paper addict, I love tearing, folding and now cutting it with a sharp scalpel is my new found weakness.

The patterns in this book are amazing. Fairies, trees and flowers can be cut and made into cards, tags and framed pictures. Cut out with vinyl, they can be stuck onto bags and other products to create something very original and unique.

The templates are A5 size, but I enlarged mine on a printer by 141%, which gave an A4 size cut out.

Beautifully presented this little booklet is a good way to start your paper cutting journey.

I absolutely love it and found myself lost in an afternoon of creative flow.
