Even now, when people get married, they will post paper-cuts with the word "happy" on the doorways of their homes. I don't know how long this festive tradition has continued. It can be said that peoples love for the word "happy" is most vividly displayed in paper-cutting with the word "happy" during weddings. Of course, the various mascots paired with the word "happy" are also the most eye-catching aspects of the paper-cut patterns.
This paper-cut pattern uses some items commonly used for auspicious blessings in the folk, such as lotus seeds, which means having a son, pomegranates, which means having more children and more blessings, and other auspicious objects. Each one has its own unique auspicious meaning. These items are wrapped with the paper-cut word "happiness", making the entire paper-cut work even more festive.
1. The preparation work before paper-cutting is similar to other ordinary paper-cutting. You need to prepare several pieces of single-sided colored paper for paper-cutting, and then fix them together with a stapler.
2. Tracing. One of the more important tracing preparations for paper-cutting with the word "Xi" is the tracing of text. Since the paper-cut pattern is relatively simple, you can use hand drawing or use a printer for machine drawing.
3. Paper-cutting and engraving and shearing. Since the paper-cutting with the word "Happiness" is surrounded by a large number of auspicious patterns, the detailed cutting of auspicious patterns can rely more on engraving and shearing, so that the details can be better presented. This paper-cut "Happiness" character is not a symmetrical paper-cut, so some friends who are inexperienced in paper-cutting can complete the production with the help of engraving and cutting.
