Creating Kirigami

Book excerpt: Grab a pair of scissors, a precision knife, a stylus, and some paper: It's kirigami time! With this book and kit, the ancient craft of cut-paper forms receives a thoroughly modern makeover that offers limitless possibilities. The guide instructs exactly how to fold the included colored paper, make careful snips and incisions, and open up the creations to reveal spheres, royal crosses, baroque swirls, Polynesian masks, honeycombs, and more. Then, follow the easy steps and helpful illustrations to build three-dimensional paper sculptures, like the Five-Pointed Star or the Autumn Leaves Doily.
