Faltschnitte 1961 – DDR Paper Folding & Cutting Craft Book, Jugendland Dresden

Faltschnitte – Ein Übungsbuch mit vielen farbigen Bildvorlagen (Jugendland-Werkfreude Nr. 1)

A striking East German craft book about Faltschnitt – folded paper cutting, the sister of the classic Scherenschnitt silhouette. Published in 1961 by Jugendland-Verlag Dresden-Laubegast, it is full of bold, colourful templates in pure mid-century graphic style: trees, houses, animals, garlands of children holding hands, stars, borders and whole picture scenes. A lovely piece of DDR design and a practical pattern book for paper crafters.
