its not origami when yo use scissors or glue

Jan 11, 2012. 6:44 AManishi says:

actualy i reserched this because some of the traditional japanese models use cuting and even sewing(from before glue was commen) and a good number of the older complex models are what a modern origamist would consider kirigami try googling Hiden Senbazuru Orikata or origami connected cranes the results might supprise you

Dec 24, 2007. 5:15 AMlieuwe says:

nice :P, but two things 1)video too fast :( 2)not real origami(you made cuts.)

Dec 24, 2007. 1:48 PMMrCakes14 says:

I agree - it was a bit fast...but as far as "2)", it's now officially kirigami :)

Apr 12, 2009. 2:48 PMmatrix828 says:

kirigami? what is that?

Apr 13, 2009. 1:35 AMlieuwe says:

hey, kenny94, origami allow us to use rips, cuts, tears or scissors!

Dec 6, 2008. 1:54 PM

dombeef says:

no scissors but slightly rips, cuts, and tears are allowed

Nov 8, 2008. 2:54 AMfarhanmus says:

I like the handwriting.. This is not considered Origami by purists, but still a good video.

Sep 30, 2008. 10:44 AMRachel Lee says:

I made 2 for math and chemistry. I wrote the formulas of them to this book in order to remember them well and can bring them everywhere :-)

Dec 30, 2007. 8:46 AMkenny94 says:

if this were to be 100% origami, you would not use rips, cuts, tears, or scisors, AT ALL.

Apr 15, 2008. 9:05 AMcasey321b says:

its a time lapsed video so it doesn't take too long. he doesn't write or fold it fast at all

Apr 22, 2008. 5:32 AMjuneapaluna says:

lol, I know.

Jan 1, 2008. 11:28 PMimonsei says:

and when you are done writing those 16 pages just unfold and refold from the other side. 16 new pages :P

Jan 1, 2008. 11:34 PMimonsei says:

huh? no you don't. O_o just tested it. That's weird.

Dec 29, 2007. 3:36 PMhav2sing says:

It is so amazing how one wrong fold changes it from a 16 page book to a 4 page book!! The videos are fast, yes, but that is what the 'pause' button is for. Thank you again. As a scrapper/stamper, I'm inspired for all sorts of photo/stamping projects. Thank you!!
