Product Description

Winner of two national and one regional awards!For nearly 2000 years people have been creating art with only scissors and paper. Hans Christian Anderson used to use paper cutting to help tell his stories but the practice slipped away—till now. Grandma’s Magic Scissors: Paper Cutting from A-Z by Linda S. Day puts stories and paper cutting back together again. The result is pure magic. This is the kind of crafting, how-to-book that teachers, crafters and parents are looking for. With this book at your fingertips you will find simple, easy instructions on how to fold the paper, copy the patterns and cut out the artwork. Over 100 full sized patterns plus stories and poems that go with the patterns. These patterns can be used for telling stories, scrapbooking, home décor and more. Adults will be reminded of the joy of folding paper and cutting shapes, which become snowflakes, hearts, dragons and more. It will help children develop fine motor skills as they create magic with their own scissors and spend hours turning plain paper into art that is limited only by their own imaginations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for rainy days and other homebound occasions, June 13, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Grandma's Magic Scissors: Paper Cut-ting From A-Z by Linda S. Day (a.k.a. Grandma) is a fun and creative instructional compendium of do-it-yourself projects for creating intricate, beautiful pieces of art with just a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a pair of scissors. Providing young (and not so young!) readers with a "user friendly" introduction to the inexpensive, fun and artistic pastime of fancy paper cutting, Grandma's Magic Scissors carefully guides the reader through cutting out such designs as The Monkeys and the Crocodile; Praying Parents; and Little Red Hen and Chicks, to Mice; Three Billy Goats Gruff; and Hearts with Bunnies. A wonderful resource for rainy days and other homebound occasions (with a bit of judicious adult supervision), Grandma's Magic Scissors is very strongly recommended for all children, but most especially those with an artistic interest searching for an entertaining and creatively inspiring guide through the decorative art of paper cutting and design.

5.0 out of 5 stars So magical!, April 26, 2006
Grandma's Magic Scissors is a wondrous book, chock full of ideas for children to create all sorts of cutouts with just a pair of scissors. Easy reading and enjoyable for adults who watch as their children become creative and use their imaginations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introductory Book, November 17, 2006
The book is an introduction to paper cutting. While some of the templates are more advanced, most are not. Good place to start to learn about paper cutting and realize you can do it. Not such a good book to help you continue learning paper cutting
