The Paper Cutting Art

The ancient art of paper cutting has been around for many centuries, with the oldest surviving example dating back to 6th century China.

Practiced all over the world, it’s a skill which is somehow both traditional and contemporary, and has exploded in popularity in recent times.

Although there are certain techniques that every paper cutter might use, the beauty of the craft is that no two designs will ever be identical as they can be personalised to the individual customer. Whether it is names, personal details or even a papercut design from a photo, the possibilities are simply endless.

Twenty Fingers are an expert husband and wife duo – hence the name of the business! – Who provide incredible paper cutting designs specified exactly to the customer requirements.

Here are just some of the types of paper cutting products they have on offer.

Silhouettes

A decorative art form which gained popularity in France during the late 16th century, silhouettes have remained in demand ever since.

Classically elegant, silhouette papercut make the perfect gift for every occasion, and look great either as a wall hanging or in a stand-alone frame.

Coming from the birthplace of romance, silhouettes are associated with love and are a fabulous wedding or anniversary gift, with the happy couple immortalised in tiny, minute detail. You can even opt to have names and dates cut in too to make a truly personal picture.

But it’s not just romantic love that can be captured with a silhouette papercut; the birth of a child with the proud parents makes a wonderful memento.

Family trees

A highly personal creation, a family tree papercut can incorporate everyone, with their names cut in intricate curves and lines.

Set within the overall shape of a tree, the individual names of each member of the family can be cut surrounded by tiny leaves and acorns with the surname carved into a strong trunk.

Family trees can be produced on any colour paper and set with either a transparent or a coloured background, depending on whether you want your wall to show through the design.
