Fold, Slit and Fold Designs
 
This top level Topic Page provides links to other Topic and Individual Design pages containing information about paperfolding designs in which the paper is first folded, then slit, then opened out or folded again, using the slits, to produce the final design. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

In Fold and Slit Designs no paper is removed from the starting shape. A page about Fold and Cut / Fold and Tear Designs, in which some of the paper is removed by the cutting / tearing process, can be found here.
