What are the common paper-cut patterns?

Common paper-cut patterns are as follows:

1. Crescent pattern: Crescent pattern is a crescent pattern composed of arcs with different lengths. Because it can be used alone or in combination, it often appears in paper-cut works. Crescent patterns are generally cut out, which are mostly used to express clothing patterns, eyebrows, backs, flowers and so on.

2. sawtooth pattern: cutting sawtooth pattern, also called "punching teeth", is one of the most representative and difficult techniques in paper-cutting art. It is necessary to do exquisite hair cutting instead of carving. Superb paper-cutting artists can cut out 40 Mao Mao on a centimeter-long paper, which is usually used to express the texture of animals' fluff, feathers and leaves and human hair, and can also better express the layering and three-dimensional sense of objects.

3. Sawtooth pattern scissors cut a straight line or arc according to the pattern, and then hold the paper in your left hand and the scissors in your right hand. The cutting tip is located above the index finger of the left hand, and a small triangle is cut on the right side of the straight line or arc as the starting point of the sawtooth. When cutting from right to left, the cutting tip must not leave the index finger, and the index finger moves left and right with the action of cutting tip, that is, "moving the paper without moving".

4. Making method of circular pattern method: hold the paper in your left hand and cut it with your right hand. Pierce the cutting tip into the central blank of circular pattern and cut it counterclockwise according to the size of the required circular pattern. The edge of the cutting circle should be equidistant from the center point, and the lines should be smooth and level without stubble.
