Wycinanki

Wycinanki, intricate paper cut-outs, has been a popular folk craft in Poland since the mid-19th century. They traditionally depicted scenes from daily life and were used to decorate cottages. In this workshop, kids tried the simple wycinanki designs with easy step by step instructions. In Poland, the decorative cut-outs are mainly associated with two regions – Łowicz and Kurpie. The Kurpie cut-outs are made with a single sheet of paper and are thus totally symmetrical and only one colour. Those from the Łowicz area feature colourful designs built from layering the intricate cut-outs. Though traditionally hung as decorations in windows, on walls, and from ceiling joints, today the classic designs are found everywhere.

I have done this workshop to kids are aged 6 to 12 years old.. Younger kids felt little harder because it has lot of cutting works. But older kids really enjoyed and made a beautiful works..

I would like to say its the very good decorative project for older kids and adults..
