Paper cutting is all made by hand. It is easy to learn the rudiments. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife/scissors. For complicated patterns, people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail.
