This month, Carnegie Museum of Natural History volunteer Stephanie Sun taught visitors at our “Super Science Series: Holidays Around the World” event how to do Chinese paper cutting.

Often done on festive red paper, Chinese paper cutting creates beautiful, intricate patterns with scissors.

Thanks Stephanie!
