Chinese Paper Cut Craft

Our Year of the Ox paper cut

Chinese Paper Cuts have been a traditional form of decoration in China at Chinese New Year and all year round for thousands of years. Why not have a go with the kids? This craft is best for older children, as they will need to plan their design carefully and use sharp scissors to cut it out successfully. Try a symmetrical pattern by folding the paper and taking snips out of it, or design something a little more advanced...

You will need:

Sheet of red paper
Pencil and ruler
Scissors

Instructions:

Start by drawing a border around your paper, to act as a frame and to hold the paper cut together.

Now design your picture, making sure that all the parts of the picture are touching another part!

Using a pair of small sharp scissors (like nail cutting scissors), cut out the holes in between your lines.

Stick your paper cut onto a window to show it off best.
