KIRIGAMI

"Kirigami" by Nicolas Garcia
(Materials Used: paper and scissors)

Kirigami is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper (from Japanese "kiru" = to cut, "kami" = paper).  Typically, kirigami starts with a folded base, which is then cut; cuts are then opened and flattened to make the finished kirigami.  Kirigami are usually symmetrical, such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid blossoms.
