Schematic diagram of two-way continuous paper cutting steps

The steps of continuous paper-cutting by both sides are as follows:

1, preparation materials: choose the appropriate paper, which can be monochrome or color. It is recommended to use 15-20g watercolor paper or rice paper, which is more suitable for paper cutting. Meanwhile, prepare a pair of safety scissors and a pencil.

2. Design patterns: design two continuous patterns on paper. It should be noted that bi-directional continuous paper-cutting is based on a single pattern, and continuous repetitive patterns are formed through continuous folding and cutting, so this should be taken into account in the design.

3. Folding paper: Fold along one side of the paper to form a triangular crease. It can be folded as many times as needed to form more complex patterns.

4. Cut the pattern: On the folded paper, use scissors to cut out the pattern you designed. It should be noted that the scissors should be sharp, and don't use too much force to avoid damaging the paper. At the same time, it should be cut according to the traces of folding to form a continuous pattern.

5. Unfold the paper: Unfold the paper, and you will see that the pattern you designed has now become a continuous repeating pattern. If the effect is not ideal, you can fold it and then cut it to achieve better results.

The role of paper-cutting:

1, Cultural Heritage: Paper-cutting is an important part of China traditional culture, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down to this day. Paper-cut works can reflect the cultural tradition and historical background of a region, which is of great significance for inheriting and carrying forward Chinese culture.

2. Artistic appreciation: Paper-cutting has won people's love with its unique artistic form and exquisite craftsmanship. Paper-cut works can be used to decorate homes, offices and other places, bringing people beautiful enjoyment.

3. Educational function: Paper-cutting is a good form of education, which can help people cultivate patience, carefulness and creativity. By learning paper-cutting, people can improve their craft and artistic accomplishment, and also learn a lot of traditional cultural knowledge.

4. Emotional expression: Paper-cut works can be used to express people's feelings and thoughts. In special festivals, weddings, birthdays and other occasions, people will use paper-cutting to express their blessings and joy.

5. Cultural exchange: As one of the representative folk arts in China, paper-cutting has become an important carrier of cultural exchange between China and foreign countries. By displaying and spreading paper-cut works, more people can understand and know the traditional culture of China.
