WELCOME TO THE WORKSHOP

One punch, many little windows.

Match the commission on the left. Choose a shape, then tap a square on your paper to cut it out.

Fold left/right to punch two mirrored squares at once. Fold top/bottom to mirror vertically. Use both folds for four layers. Unfold or change folds whenever you like; your cuts stay.

Circle, diamond and petal shapes must match exactly. Cut only the requested squares, using the fewest punches. Undo is always free.

Keyboard: arrows move the dotted cursor; Space/Enter punch; 1–3 choose shapes; X/Y fold; U undo; R restart. Tap controls work on phones.

Hints suggest a safe next punch. Every commission can be completed, even after a mistake, by undoing or restarting. Progress saves on this device.

Papel picado is a Mexican decorative paper-cutting tradition. This is a playful geometric interpretation, inspired by the November 1–2 Día de Muertos season.
