The steps for cutting axially symmetrical figures are as follows:

1. Prepare materials, such as scissors, pen and paper.

2. Fold the paper in half horizontally and then vertically.

3. Draw half of the axially symmetrical figure at the folded position. To ensure that the figure is symmetrical, it is best to draw it with the unopened side of the folded paper as the axis.

4. Cut off the unnecessary parts along the drawn lines. After cutting off the diagonal parts, the cut and remaining parts are usually triangles.

5. Finally, unfold the paper and check whether the cut out graphics are still symmetrical. In addition, different expression techniques can be used when paper-cutting, such as intaglio engraving, yang engraving, combination of yin and yang, and even embroidery techniques.
