COLORFUL KIRIGAMI ANIMAL HOLIDAY CARDS

Have you ever tried the paper cut origami method called Kirigami?

Instead of just folding like typical origami, you fold and draw and then you cut so a mirror shape appears on the other side.

This colorful Kirigami Paper Craft can be used to make cards or hang up as festive holiday decor.

Here we’ve shown you how to make some beloved holiday animals like a reindeer, turkey, penguin and polar bear.
