Unfolded paper cutting is different than the folded and cut.
Some skilled paper cutting artists don't need to use patterns to make paper cuttings, all the cuttings from their minds.
In here I will show you how to use a pattern to make an unfolded paper cutting.
If you are new in this section, I will suggest you try to cut one layer paper with the pattern. Once you feel you can handle it good, you can try to cut 3-4 layers together or even more.
1. Find the pattern that you would like to cut, print the pattern as much as many times as you like, they are free to download

2. After you print the pattern, you can also make the pattern bigger to fit your cutting, cut it out as the picture shows below.
3. Place the pattern on the top of the color paper.
4. Cut the color paper as the same size as the pattern.
5. Staple the pattern and color paper together on the parts that you will cut and remove, so the pattern will not move away when you cut it.
6. Put the papers on a cutting mat, and then use a point craft knife cut the inside hatched parts first.
* Always cut out the inside parts first, this will help keep your pattern stay where it is.
* Always cut the small pieces first.
7. Carefully take out the cutout parts.
8. The final step is to cut out the outline of the picture.
8. After you finish the cutting, carefully move the cutout outline shaped part(s).
* If you have some points didn't cut through, you can re-cut those points again at the same lines or the same points, otherwise you might make two or three cut lines at that point.
9. Here you are! You have finished a beautiful unfolded paper cutting, Yea!
