Window grille is a kind of handicraft with a sense of art and cultural connotation, and its unique shape and exquisite details are deeply loved by people. Here's how to cut out a beautiful window grille.
1. Preparations.
Before cutting window grilles, you need to prepare the relevant tools and materials. This includes scissors, gravers, paper, pencils, erasers, rulers, etc. The choice of paper is very important, and it is recommended to choose paper with a thinner texture that is easy to fold and cut, such as rice paper, special paper for paper cutting, etc.
Second, the design pattern.
Designing patterns is one of the key steps in cutting window grilles. Different patterns can be designed according to personal preferences and cultural backgrounds, such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, landscapes, character stories, etc. When designing the pattern, it is necessary to pay attention to the proportion and symmetry of the pattern to ensure that the cut out window grilles are beautiful and coordinated.
3. Fold the paper.
Fold the selected paper according to the requirements of the pattern. Generally speaking, it can be folded in half, third, quarter, etc., to obtain the desired shade and effect. When folding, it is necessary to pay attention to the flatness and symmetry of the folding, so as to ensure that the cut window grilles are clear and the lines are smooth.
Fourth, draw a pattern.
On the folded paper, use a pencil to gently sketch out the designed pattern. When sketching, pay attention to the smoothness and delicacy of the lines to show the details and characteristics of the pattern. If you need to carve out the hollowing effect, you also need to mark the line to be engraved with the cutter at the corresponding position.
5. Cutting and carving.
Once you've finished sketching your pattern, you can start cutting and scribbling. Use scissors to cut off the excess paper along the pencil lines, and then use a carving knife to carve out the part that needs to be hollowed out. When cutting and scribing, it is necessary to pay attention to the mastery of strength and speed to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the lines. If you need multiple layers of cutouts, you also need to cut and scribble layer by layer.
Sixth, expand the finished product.
After cutting and scribbling, carefully unfold the grille, taking care not to break or tear the paper. When unfolded, you can see that the exquisite window grilles are already in front of you. If you need further tweaks or retouching, you can use colored pens or other tools to polish and embellish.
7. Preservation and display.
After you have finished making the window grille, you should store it carefully to avoid direct sunlight or humidity that can cause the paper to deform or fade. The grilles can be stored in a transparent plastic bag or framed in a photo frame. If you need to display a window grille, you can stick it to the window or hang it with a thin line for display.
