Paper cutting method: upper and lower symmetrical cutting method
Similar to the left and right symmetrical cutting method, the upper and lower symmetrical cutting method is also a very common paper-cutting method in paper-cut creation. Some people even directly regard the upper and lower symmetry as the effect of adjusting the left and right symmetry by 90 degrees. . However, it must be noted that due to the limitations of upper and lower symmetry on composition, there are not many topics about the upper and lower symmetrical paper cutting method, and most of the time, the upper and lower symmetrical cutting method is used to express the reflection of objects on the water, or some concepts. Sexy modern paper-cut works also have this application, which needs to be paid attention to when creating.
1. Preparation: Take four pieces of colored paper, divide them into two parts, fold them once from the middle, and staple them with staples.
2. Tracing: Find the symmetrical lines of the two paper-cut works "Spring Duck Playing in the Water" and "Lingfox", draw them with a ruler, and align the folded edges of the stapled paper with the pattern. For the symmetry line in , only draw half of the original pattern.
3. Cutting: The cutting methods for up-down symmetry and left-right symmetry are the same. The key is how to handle the connecting edges. When cutting, pay attention to the choice of connecting edges. Which parts should be retained depends on the theme to be cut. For example, in the left-right symmetrical figure mentioned earlier, more parts are cut out, but in the up-down symmetrical figure mentioned here, more parts are retained at the connection of the symmetry line. This is because what is reflected is the reflection formed by the water surface, and retaining the connecting line can Reminiscent of water.

There are not many thread-cutting themes in the form of vertical and downward symmetry, and most of them are related to water, such as "Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water" and so on. The paper-cutting with symmetrical figures up and down has a lively, vivid effect and is full of interest. When cutting, pay attention to the appropriate size of the left and right sides of the graphic, otherwise the larger side will be larger after unfolding, and the smaller side will appear smaller, resulting in unbalanced consequences.
