Cutting paper is one of my favourite childhood crafts. I still remember fondly helping my mother to cut the Chinese characters to paste onto food items for offering to the Buddha and his followers.
Since Halloween is coming soon, I decided to cut a Jack-O-Lantern and bat to make a Halloween banner.
Paper Cut Jack-O-Lantern
Materials:
- Orange paper (rectangle shape)
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Pen knife
Method:
- Fold the paper in half.
- Draw this pattern with a pencil. Note: do not use marker pen on the paper. I have simply drawn on it for easier visibility for the photo.
- Cut the outline and use a pen knife to cut out the eye.
Paper Cut Bat
Materials:
- Black paper (rectangle shape)
- Pencil
- Scissors
Method:
- Fold the paper in half.
- Draw this pattern with white coloured pencil. Note: do not use white marker pen on the paper. I have simply drawn on it for easier visibility for the photo.
- Cut the outline.
To put them into a banner, use a piece of string, a few mini pegs and Scotch tape.
