Hi, y’all!!!!! I just wanted to inform y’all that if you cut the paper, it’s called kirigami, and not origami! Just wanted to let you knowwwwwwwwwwwwww! Byeeee!
This is not actually true. This is a traditional Japanese origami design. There are plenty of origami designs that have small cuts. There are no such rules in Japanese origami. However if you follow the “pureland origami” idea, thought up by John Smith, a British origami designer in the seventies, then you can only use a square sheet with mountain and valley folds only. Please do your research before spreading false information.
Yes, I agree with you Chrissy. People make origami out of rectangular, A4 and other off-square paper, but the works are still considered origami. I really love they way that you clarify this to many MANY people who feel that origami cannot contain a few teeny cuts.
