Fold Slit and Fold Designs
 
This page is being used to collect information about the history of designs in which the paper is first folded, then slit, then opened out or folded again, using the slits, to produce the final design, but in which no paper is removed from the original starting shape.

There is a separate page about Cut, Overlap and Glue Together Designs, which are often associated with the Paper Sloyd approach to paperfolding in schools.
