Artist Spends a Year Cutting World’s Longest Strip of Paper from Single A4 Sheet
odditycentral -

Chinese origami artist Pei Haozheng spent a whole year painstakingly cutting an A4 sheet of paper into a 108-meter-long strip to set a unique world record.

Pei, also known as Hotz Pei, is no stranger to Guinness world records. He once folded the most origami flowers made from a single sheet of paper(100), and then created the largest origami snail ever, but this year he embarked on his most challenging record attempt yet – cutting the longest continuous strip of paper from a single A4 sheet. Technically, it should have been a walk in the park for this master of paper art, as the length to beat was a modest 2.5 meters, but he challenged himself to cut the longest strip possible, so he spent about a year experimenting with different types of paper, cutting techniques and instruments. In the end, he managed to cut a thin, continuous strip 108.15 meters in length.
