Four-petal paper-cutting techniques and paper-cutting tutorials
There is a very important paper-cutting skill in the basic Paper-cutting tutorial, which can also be called paper-cutting technique, which is to skillfully use origami to cut out the paper-cut shapes we need to structure. . This paper-cutting technique after folding is very helpful in shaping some symmetrical structures of paper-cutting works. By learning and mastering this basic paper-cutting technique, we can get twice the result with half the effort when making simple paper-cut creations. In some complex paper-cut creations, these common folding paper-cut techniques are often applied to paper-cut creations with small, partial features, so their importance cannot be ignored.
The four-petal folding paper-cut introduced here today, so what is the four-petal folding paper-cutting? We can find in some simple paper-cut window grill configurations in daily life that the paper-cut pattern itself is actually a structure similar to four petals. This unique paper-cut creation can be said to fully demonstrate the beauty of the four corners of the structure. As a very simple paper-cutting production, many paper-cutting training classes or paper-cutting teachers will teach students to learn this paper-cutting technique first, and at the same time create paper-cutting patterns according to their own imagination. Here are four examples: What are the steps for petal paper cutting.
1. First, lay the square paper flat as shown in the picture, and then fold the paper diagonally; 2. After the folding is completed, we will obtain a triangular origami structure as shown in the picture. This triangular origami structure is faced again; 3. After the folding in the previous step is completed, we will obtain a triangle as shown in the picture. Now you can create random paper cuts around this triangle. Finally, you can easily obtain four-petal paper-cut structures with various textures.
The folding method we learned, after folding the triangle, can cut out the paper-cut pattern as shown in the picture below. It can be seen that these two paper-cut patterns cleverly use the characteristics of symmetrical folding to easily express lines, and cleverly combine the positions of the lines to obtain the paper-cut effect as shown in the picture. In fact, for beginners, although they can fold and cutting operations, but they are not able to grasp the problem of pattern placement very well, and are often not able to accuratelyCorrectly place the lines that have been prepared to be carved in the appropriate position, resulting in the final paper-cut pattern not being very good. However, this kind of experience requires repeated attempts and accumulation of experience to finally master it, so special attention should be paid to this point.
The four-petal folded paper-cutting below is much more complicated to make. You can see that the pattern configuration uses almost all the basic paper-cutting symbols we have learned before, except for the zigzag symbol is not used. In fact, this paper-cut creation can be regarded as a simple paper-cut window grille. Although it looks complicated in terms of configuration, it is actually very easy to cut because of the four-petal structure. Once the cutting is completed, the final result will be very good. If you are interested, you can decipher the basic style of this paper-cut pattern, and then try it yourself using the four-petal paper-cut method.
