I fell in love with Chinese Paper Cuts on my first trip to Beijing in 2008. This World Heritage handicraft features detailed designs made by carefully cutting very thin paper (traditionally red.) These beautiful pieces are perfect for adding into your art journal or collage artwork, for making cards or tags, and more!
Chinese paper cuttings are so fun to use in mixed media and art journaling... because they're so thin and detailed it can be a bit tricky, but it's worth the extra effort! I've used matted medium most successfully, although you have to be careful - over saturating the paper can make it tear, and you may also get a bit of color lift from the red dye in the paper (which is about the weight and feel of tissue paper.)
The smaller paper cuttings come in sets of 10-12 pieces, and most designs are between 2-1/2" to 3" wide by 3" to 4" tall (see sizing photos below for a better idea of the measurements in each set.) Each of the cuttings in the sets comes in a sheet of folded tissue paper to protect it and keep it from getting tangled with the other designs.
Larger paper cuttings measure about 9.5" in diameter and come individually in plastic packaging. These extra large cuttings are incredibly detailed, and would be beautiful as the focal point on a mixed media panel, as the top layer on a collage, or as decoration for the cover of an art journal.
