MAKING DAISIES

USING THE MINI GUILLOTINE

.

In this lesson we are going to use the mini guillotine, especially designed for filigree. You can buy one in specialist shops. If you can not find a mini guillotine you can use a pair of scissors to make fine cuts.

 

.

The paper we are going to use is 1cm wide and 30cm long. You can buy it already cut or you can cut it with a normal guillotine.

.

.

Place the paper into the mini guillotine, ensure that it is placed correctly and that it does not get stuck when we start cutting.

Move the lever quickly.

Here you can see how we have cut the paper:

We will also need a piece of white coloured paper and we are going to glue it.
