    Make it a keepsake

    Fold, cut, and open.

    1. Prepare this pattern

      Follow the fold lines and use the fold button before cutting symmetric parts. One cut passes through every folded layer. Asymmetric parts stay on an open sheet. Some designs ask you to unfold between stages.

    2. Make your first cut

      Every cut follows your hand. Scissors make a slit; Cutout removes the inside of a loop; Punch makes a round hole. Change the size or try Zigzag. Reference lines are optional and never replace your cuts. Use Undo to try again.

    3. Unfold the surprise

      Use “Open sheet & refine” whenever you want to add details to just one side. At the end, unfold or reveal the whole work. Save your creation as a transparent PNG or SVG, then discover its cultural story.

    Shortcuts: Ctrl / ⌘ + Z to undo · Enter to unfold.
