Fairytale papercuts, (Red riding hood and wolf), in honor of Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, adult art class display, 4/2/18

The Wolf is quite clear here. We cut a piece of copy paper that had been folded into quarters.
You can either pierce into it or just cut through the paper at some point and cut up around the figure. Return to the border and cut around the border and from there get back to where you first entered the paper with your scissors. Your figure should stay attached to the sheet as a whole. Here you have white wolves, dark wolves, and a green Ridinghood figure. I had done a follow-along cutting, but I didn't know what I was doing so my figure ended up looking like a tree. Whoever was able to follow along with the cutting came out like a tree as well in their cutting! There is a demonstration of the freehand paper cut on my YouTube but it really doesn't look like anything! Except the tree!
