Paper cutting is a traditional folk art in China, its birthplace over 1500 years ago. During festivals such as Chinese New Year, paper-cuts are used to decorate doors, walls, and windows in homes, and are presented as gifts to good friends and family. I thought it would be a fun craft to share with my girls for the upcoming Year of the Horse. The two main types of paper cutting use either scissors or pen knives. Scissors are usually used for symmetrical cuttings and pen knives for more elaborate asymmetrical cuttings. Each Chinese New Year, people look for creative new paper cutting designs to help decorate the house for the upcoming celebrations. 2025 is the year of the snake and 2026 is the year of the horse.
