History of Paper Cut Out Snowflakes

What most people don’t know about this art is that is truly
ancient, and in fact is founded in the traditional Japanese
art-form of Origami, specifically a variation known as
Kirigami. The process at the beginning is the same, both
art forms involve the intricate folding of a piece of paper
into a desired shape, though that’s where the similarities
end.

In Kirigami you then unfold the piece and place cuts in

the desired place. Obviously, the art of snowflake cutting
takes this one step variance further, you typically cut the
piece while it is still folded, and then unfold it to reveal
the desired shape.

History of Paper Cut Out Snowflakes

There’s no denying that the unique design of each

snowflake is beautiful, and the ability to create either a
single piece, or to intricately cut a piece of paper that has
been folded over multiple times to create a string of
elaborately cut snowflakes means you have near
infinite variations you can end with.

Such is the beauty of Kirigami. Make Cut-Out

Snowflakes Day encourages you to pick up this art again
and create your own unique and special snowflake.
