Chinese Paper Cut Art is a critical cultural piece in
China. It is used in all kinds of celebrations including
wedding, promotion and moving to a new house. The
paper art will be glued on the door or window to symbolize
happiness and good luck. "is an ancient Chinese word for
happiness. It is also the most popular pattern used in the
Chinese paper cut art. This intractable will open the door
of Chinese popular art craft for you.
 Step 1: Prepare Your Tool

Get ready with tools

1. Pencil
2. Scissors
3. Red square paper
4. Ruler
Tips:
1. Use pencil to draw so the marks can be erased later.
2. Red color is recommended. In the Chinese culture, red is the color that represents
happiness and fortune.
3. Choose paper that is thinner. Otherwise, it will be very thick after several times
folding.

Step 2: Fold the Pape

Fold the paper two times:

Firstly fold it into half and then fold again.

Now you will have a paper that is only fourth of the original size

Tips:
Make sure you press each fold line hard so later it will be easier to cut.

Step 3: Draw Cutting Lines

Tools: ruler and pencil

The drawing step will be divided into 5 sub steps. Please follow the instructions
carefully.

1: Draw two straight lines through the paper using ruler and pencil: one at the 1/3 place and
the other at the 2/3 place

2: Then turn the open edge side towards you and draw 3 rectangles with same sizes
(width: height=1:2). One edge will line up with the edge of the paper and anther edge will
line up with the straight pencil line. Leave a space between two rectangles.
* The space between two rectangles are about half of the width of a rectangle.

3: Leave a space after the third rectangle. Draw another two rectangles after
that.
* The space after the third rectangle will equal to the width of two rectangles.
4: Draw two rectangles. One edge will line up with the edge of the paper and anther
edge will line up with the other straight pencil line.

Now you are done with the drawing cutting line step.

You should have 7 rectangles in total-5 on one side and 2 on the other.

If you think you get the above result, move to the next step.

Step 4: Cut the Paper

Tools: scissors

Cut out the rectangles by following the yellow lines.

Cut off all the 7 rectangles carefully.

Caution:
• After being folded twice, the paper can be very thick. So be careful with your
fingers when you cut
• Cut the paper is the most tricky part. Be care and make sure you cut the right lines.
Otherwise, you will get a totally different pattern. But it is also a way to be creative.

Step 5: Extend the Pattern

Simply extend the paper cut art.

Caution: after the cutting, the paper edges are sometimes sticking together. When you
extend it, be tender. Otherwise, you will tear it.
You will see the final product with a very symmetric shape.

Tips:
1. Erase the pencil lines before you extend it.
2. Before you unfold it, you may want to fold the folder lines in the opposite direction. So
when you open the pattern, it will lay flat on its own.

Step 6: Post It on Windows
