PaPeR CUT outs!

One thing I love to do is paper cut outs! I get all my stencils from:   http://papercutting.blogspot.com
There's lots of great stencils there! Paper cutting is easy with a little practice!
You can use scissors (little ones, like kid scissors or sometimes you can find specialty ones) or I also like to use a craft knife for little, tight areas! Printer paper is usually really easy to use and that's what I like. I tried card stock once, and the knife couldn't cut thru it easily, and layers of the paper peeled off (including the pattern!!!) You can always trace a stencil on if you'd like to do that too! Once I'm done cutting something out, I just use elmer's school glue or rubber cement very lightly and stick it on to construction paper! Here's a few of my finished ones:


This one was card stock, it looks okay-ish, but the process was annoying!

 As you can see this one certainly isn't perfect! I ripped part of the canopy and did my best to put it back into place when I glued it!
 I think this one is cute! But you can see the glue streaks!
I like this one a lot too! I ripped the front tire and now it's not very circular! Oh well!
