Now Paper Cutting Old & New makes this ancient craft come alive, with easy step-by-step instructions and complete full-sized patterns for snipping your own framed treasures, holiday ornaments, unique cards, scrapbook pages, and much more. Add a touch of old-fashioned elegance to your art, with easy-to-follow instructions for false-grain painting that will turn even the plainest frame into a conversation piece."Paper Cutting Old & New is a wonderful addition to the dissemination of the Pennsylvania German culture.
