Paper-Cutting Techniques

Paper-cutting techniques involve carefully shaping paper through precise cutting methods to create intricate designs, patterns, or images. Artists use tools like scissors, craft knives, or laser cutters to achieve detailed motifs, ranging from delicate lace-like patterns to bold shapes. Techniques may include layered cutouts, symmetrical designs, or negative space work, often requiring steady hands and an understanding of paper’s properties. These methods are used in art, decoration, and craft projects to produce visually striking, textured, and multi-dimensional pieces.
