DIY Inspiration: Kirigami and Monkiri

Today we're feeling inspired by kirigami or monkiri.  The art of paper cutting.

While monkiri is more focused on Japanese family crests...

Kirigami might remind you of snowflakes you cut as a child.  But more intricately beautiful!

Inspiring, yes? So, what are you waiting for?  Grab some paper and a sharp pair of scissors and get snipping!  (But be warned - this gets addictive!) We think origami paper is simply perfect for kirigami - check out our selection at Omiyage.ca

We'll be back tomorrow with our own kirigami and some ideas on how to put your new art to use!
