1. After the draft idea is determined, draft the layout, describe the picture in detail, and draw a black-and-white effect. The modified part can be white powder. For beginners, the finer the manuscript, the easier it is to carve. If you carve a symmetrical manuscript, you can draw half of it. Cutting and carving are just like carving with a knife. Pictures and paper must be bound together, and the four corners should be fixed on the wax board. In order to ensure the accuracy of the image, people should carve the five senses first, flowers and birds should carve details or important parts first, and then slowly carve from the center to the surrounding. The order of starting a knife is the same as writing, from top to bottom, from left to right, from small to large, from fine to thick, from part to whole. Try to avoid repeated knife-cutting, the unnecessary parts must be cut off, and you can't tear them by hand, otherwise the paper-cutting will have burrs and affect the appearance. Micro-carving laser cutting machine completely solved this scheme;
3. Paper-cutting needs to be uncovered one by one after cutting and carving. Electro-optic paper and velveteen paper are easy to uncover because of their smooth paper surface, while single rice paper and powder adhesive paper are difficult to uncover because of their lightness, humidity and coloring. Therefore, before uncovering, it is necessary to gently rub the carved cardboard to separate the papers from each other, and then gently lift the corner of the first paper and use it when uncovering.
4. After pasting and peeling, the finished product needs to be pasted for convenient storage. There are two ways. First, spread the paper-cut flat on the supporting paper and stick it from the inside out with a brush or a thin board dipped in paste. This method can't make all paper-cuts stick flat, and it is slow and has the advantage of simplicity. The second is to lay the paper-cut flat on the paper in reverse, then dip the diluted paste with a combination brush and gently brush it on the paper to be supported. Be careful not to wrinkle the paper brush. There must be less paste on the brush. Then, quickly fix the pasted side on the back of the paper-cut, and gently flatten it by hand, so that all the paper-cuts are evenly attached to the paper holder. Gently lift, dry, clamp and save. Besides pasting, white latex can also be used as an adhesive.
5. When the finished product is modified, it is sometimes cut with a knife, especially when cutting paper. If it is carved in a large area, it is not easy to repair it. If it is carved in a small area, it can be carved locally and replaced with a new one. Color paper-cut can't be covered if it is dyed wrong, so it has to be engraved and dyed again. Be sure to pay attention to the change before cutting.
6. There are two ways to copy-sample smoking-sample drying. First, put the paper-cut samples on white paper, and then put them flat in water together. When the water soaks the paper without water drops, the engraved paper and white paper are pulled out of the water at the same time and attached to the wood block. Then steam the paper on the oil lamp downward, but don't be too close to the lamp holder to avoid burning. If you need to make a lot of copies, you can take the method of printing pictures: stick the original with a layer of white paper coated with liquid medicine (red blood salt and aqueous solution), clamp it with two pieces of glass, and let it dry in the sun for 3- 14 hours. After development, wash the liquid medicine off the paper with clear water, and you can make copies.
Traditional knife engraving has been gradually replaced by laser cutting. Jinan Micro-carving Laser wholeheartedly cooperates with the majority of paper-cutting manufacturers, specializing in the production of flannel paper-cutting laser cutting machine, large-format paper-cutting laser cutting machine and paper-cutting money-hanging laser cutting machine, which have realized paper-cutting, flower-and-bird paper-cutting, Facebook paper-cutting, folk paper-cutting, Xifu paper-cutting, Zodiac paper-cutting, paper-cutting mounting, paper-cutting money-hanging and paper-cutting calendar respectively. Now the partners are Xi, Shaanxi and paper-cut calendars.
