Valentines papercut swans cards, adult art class display, 2/10/20

Students drew their own templates following along with my demo drawing. They made extra templates to use as a future reference.

After cutting out their kissing swans templates, students either made a background card for the papercut and/or made a larger full sheet design on card stock. They tipped their papercuts onto the background sheet using either glue stick or tape, (masking), rolled sticky side out to make a kind of double stick tape.

What a beautiful array here. Especially against the library's new paint job.

Valentine swan paper cuts cards, adult art class display, 2/12/19

Template drawing:

Swan papercut pattern for kissing swans Valentine card

F = the fold. I did not leave enough room to really show the frame here, but I like to cut it w a frame. We made our  papercuts from copy paper then tipped onto either card stock or copy paper folded in half, (just dab glue in the 4 corners instead of trying to glue it all down flat). We had colored the background as desired before mounting the papercuts. Depending on which card format you go with you adjust how wide to cut the swans. And, you can use these as templates to trace around and just draw on the card.
