Making A Template, For A Simple Papercutting

First, took a picture of what I wanted to make a papercutting of...

Second,
load photo into Adobe Photo shop,

remove color & select "ink outline." Print,

then use UHU stic glue stick, to tack to black scherenschnitte paper for cutting.

(Let glue dry a few minutes before applying to paper,

this will allow for easy removal of template).

Next, cut out template.

Used Xacto knife to first cut out small highlights, then

scissors to cut around template.

Remove template.



Glue papercutting to natural colored scherenschnitte paper.
Used Craft Bond Fabric & Paper Glue by Elemer's, applied with paint brush to back.
Frame and enjoy!
