There are two traditional methods for making polyhedra out of paper: polyhedral nets and modular origami.In the net method, the faces of the polyhedron are placed to form an irregular shape on a flat sheet of paper, with some of these faces connected to each other within this shape; it is cut out and folded into the shape of the polyhedron, and the remaining pairs of faces are attached together.
A dashed line shows a valley fold. The paper is folded in front of itself. A dashed and dotted line shows a mountain fold (there may be one or two dots per dash depending on the author). The paper is folded behind itself, this is normally done by turning the paper over, folding a valley fold and then turning the paper back over again.
The corners of a sheet of paper are folded up to meet the opposite sides and (if the paper is not already square) the top is cut off, making a square sheet with diagonal creases. [1] The four corners of the square are folded into the center, forming a shape known in origami terminology as a blintz base or cushion fold. [2]
Pureland origami is a style of origami invented by the British paper folder John Smith that is limited to using only mountain and valley folds, folded one at a time. The aim of Pureland origami is to make origami easier for inexperienced folders and those who have impaired motor skills. [1]

The book achieved enough success that the word kirigami was accepted as the Western name for the art of paper cutting. [1] Typically, kirigami starts with a folded base, which is then unfolded; cuts are then opened and flattened to make the finished design. Simple kirigami are usually symmetrical, such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid blossoms.
Origami (折り紙, Japanese pronunciation: or [oɾiꜜɡami], from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the Japanese art of paper folding. In modern usage, the word "origami" is often used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin.
Modular origami or unit origami is a multi-stage paper folding technique in which several, or sometimes many, sheets of paper are first folded into individual modules or units and then assembled into an integrated flat shape or three-dimensional structure, usually by inserting flaps into pockets created by the folding process.
