Share the folk paper-cut "Little Mouse, Go to the Lampstand"

1. Take a square piece of red paper and fold it diagonally into a triangle.

2. Divide the bottom of the triangle into five equal parts with a flat angle of 180 degrees, each part is 36 degrees.

3. Fold the right corner of the triangle to the left to make it coincide with the corresponding sides in four positions.

4. Fold the newly folded triangle in half again along the center line.

5. Fold back the remaining fifth in the upper left corner and align with the rightmost line. This is the ten-fold method, also known as the pentagonal method.

The fully folded shape is shown in the figure below.

6. Draw a mouse and a lampstand. This is an interesting painting. Friends who can't draw can print it out.

7. Cut along the drawn pattern, as shown in the figure. Cutting at the eye is a difficult point, so you need to cut carefully.

8. Unfold the cut colored paper. A * * * is five groups of patterns, each group has two mice and a lampstand, with a flower pattern in the middle.
