How to Create Bamboo Look Punch Art Using Circles

Create bamboo punch art using a circle punch or circle cutter.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• paper
• a circle punch or circle cutter
• liquid adhesive

1. Punch out or cut out circles.

2. Slice right and left edges off of circle, coming in about 1/4 of the way from the edge. This will leave you with a large center piece that is curved at the top and bottom and straight on the two sides (sides should both be vertical and parallel to each other).

3. To make the bamboo stem, arrange the middles in a vertical line, not touching, with a bit of space between them.

4. Use the cut off edges as “leaves”, sticking out the sides of the bamboo stem.

5. You can arrange the "leaves" in singles, or arrange in groups of two or three.
