1. When cutting paper, keep your hands steady, especially when cutting curves. You should hold the scissors gently with your fingers to avoid bending.

The blade of the paper cutter is very sharp, so be careful when using it to avoid cutting your fingers.

3. When paper-cutting, pay attention to neat and beautiful patterns, smooth lines, and no breaks and burrs.
