Cut and Fold Paper Models

Kirigami is a traditional Japanese art form that combines paper cutting and folding. Derived from the Japanese words “kiri” meaning “cut” and “gami” meaning “paper,” kirigami shares a close relationship with origami, the art of paper folding. What sets kirigami apart is its incorporation of cuts alongside folds, resulting in a broader range of creative possibilities and the ability to construct highly detailed and intricate designs.

Creating kirigami cut and fold paper models requires only a single square sheet of paper, preferably cardstock, and doesn’t involve the use of glue. This simplicity makes it accessible to anyone interested in exploring this art form.
