Before the scissors open
What paper should a beginner use?+
Choose crisp paper between 70 and 100 gsm. It should fold sharply and let your scissors pass through two or four layers without force.
Do I need a craft knife?+
No. Folded flowers, butterflies, fish, and lanterns can all be made with scissors. Save the knife for enclosed details on flat intermediate designs.
Can children try Chinese paper cutting?+
Yes. Pick large shapes, use safety scissors, and provide active adult supervision. Every tutorial includes age and tool guidance.
