Commonly Used Tools And Materials For Art Papercutting

As a traditional art, art paper-cutting has gradually become one of the expressions of modern art creation with the changes of the times. Paper-cutting art turns ordinary paper into lively patterns through cutting, engraving, carving, dyeing and other crafts. Whether it is traditional window decorations, New Year paintings, modern decorative paintings and artworks, or even children's handicrafts, paper-cutting is widely used in them.

Therefore, the right tools can not only help you express your creativity better, but also achieve higher precision when using them. Next, this article will introduce you to several commonly used tools and materials in paper-cutting art, including knife films, seals, embossing sheets, etc., and guide you to use them.

 

First, let's get to learn about paper-cutting knives and knife films.

Paper-cutting knives are one of the most basic tools in the paper-cutting process, used for cutting paper, engraving patterns, and refining lines. Common paper-cutting knives are of two types: hand-held knives and engraving knives. Hand-held knives are suitable for cutting large-area patterns, while engraving knives can engrave delicate details. The blade of the paper-cutting knife should be sharp and tough so that the desired shape can be cut smoothly on the paper. The knife film is a wear-resistant transparent film with various patterns. It covers the paper, protects the surface and helps you cut out more precise patterns.

 

Transparent stamp

Stamps are also common tools in paper-cut creation, especially when the work needs to add texture or special effects. Transparent stamps can press out repeated patterns on paper, adding unique decorativeness to paper-cut works. The advantage of using stamps is that it can quickly add a sense of layering to paper-cut works, and can make the works more vivid through different ink colors.

 

Embossed sheet

Embossed sheet is an auxiliary tool that can press out three-dimensional patterns on the surface of paper. Unlike flat paper-cut patterns, embossed sheets can add a three-dimensional sense to the work, making the pattern more layered and realistic. Embossed sheets are usually made of metal or plastic with different patterns on the surface. The artist places the paper on it, and then uses an embossing machine or manual pressing to print the pattern on the paper. The use of embossed sheets not only increases the artistic expression of paper-cutting, but also enriches the texture of the work. Especially when making greeting cards or decorative paintings, embossed sheets can create more delicate and decorative paper-cut works.

 

Finally, in addition to the above main tools, other auxiliary tools are often used in paper-cut art, such as pencils, rulers, glue, etc. These auxiliary tools play an important role in paper-cut art creation, helping us to present the ideas in our minds more accurately.
