4/5 Wycinanki Cut Outs

Wycinanki is a Polish word for paper-cut designs. These beautiful paper cut-outs have been used to decorate the interior of Polish homes since the early 19th century! The 4/5s tried their hand at their own Wycinanki designs. They drew out their idea, copied it onto colored paper, carefully cut away the negative areas, and then glued it to a contrasting backing paper.
