Poppytalk invited Mr. Yen (a papercut artist out of the UK) to share a simple papercut tutorial for the blog a few weeks back and today we're thrilled to share it! It's a customized initial papercut, something that one could make and frame for a nursery, a Mother's Day gift, or maybe a powder room. Check out the how-to below.
Equipment needed:
* Scalpel
* Cutting Mat
* x1 Scalpel blade
* x1 Piece of paper for the main design
* x1 Contrasting piece of paper for a backing to your papercut

Step 1: Choose a Font and your Initial
The first step in creating your customised initial papercut is to choose a font you like, or a font you think the person you are creating the papercut for will like. I always feel as though something like a serif font - which has the little edges sticking off the ends of the letters (such as the one I used for this tutorial) seems quite feminine and delicate. Once you have looked at a few fonts, it's time to choose your initial. I'm choosing "A" for Angela, as it's Mothers day soon here in the UK and that's my Mum's name!
