I learned this technique from UHU02's web site. Do not cut tiny parts completely free from the paper. Score the part while it is still attached to the paper, cut a border around the tiny part so it is still centered within a larger piece of paper attached to the main body of the paper "sprue" by one edge. Fold the part while it is still part of a larger piece of paper, trim away the excess surrounding paper and glue the part in its final shape and then finally cut it away from the paper sheet.
Folding tiny parts is easy if they are still part of a bigger piece of paper.
This is the paper modeler's equivalent of the pl@st!c modeler's trimming and painting time parts while they are still attached to the sprue.
