      So... is "papercraft" a form of origami? From these photos, it looks a lot like origami.

      Origami is generally folded without a printed pattern, usually from a continuous strip of paper, and generally doesn't require cutting or gluing.

      Papercraft is generally folded with a printed pattern, from dozens of cut strips of paper, and requires gluing these pieces together.

      They have paper and folding in common, and that's about it. It's like saying pizza looks a lot like spaghetti, since they have cheese and sauce in common. : o

      Considering the primary ingredient is paper, wouldn't Origami be "flatbread" and papercraft be "Pizza" (since it has a couple extra ingredients)? It is good to know the difference, though. I personally thought they were using a continuous piece of paper, which I've seen in some very elaborate designs before. But some of these are a bit too intense for that...

      Origami is like tacos or burritos: decent pita mileage, not much cooking if your ingredients are ready.

      Papercraft is like quesadillas: great pita mileage, requires some extra effort and cutting to get just right.

      Most impressive!
      I can't even cut a straight line so I am very envious of the creativity, talent and devotions of Papercrafters!!

      In preschool, I clearly remember the teachers giving me bad marks for the skill of cutting. At home, I would make tiny paper finger puppets. Idiots didn't realize that I just didn't feel like cutting neatly along random lines for the sake of it.

      Don't be angry at them. It's an important skill that everyone needs, so you better get your shit together.

      I need to clip those coupons into rectangles, not trapezoids and parallelograms. Otherwise the cashiers get angry!

      If it's not a right angle it's a WRONG angle!
