reduxLots of cool goth/Halloweenish paper projects to print and assemble. Files are MS Word documents, rather than PDFs or plain images however.

Modular origami of a sort. Twenty bills folded in two groups to make a wallet for holding more money. With instructions in a wordless form eerily reminescent of Ikea assembly manuals.

This book for "aspiring paper engineers" provides an encyclopedia of pop-up effects each with explanation of how it works. The more complicated effects which benefit from a model that can be disassembled are not glued shut allowing the reader to open them up to reveal the inner workings. The opening page has a very dramatic monster which serves to illustrate many of the techniques combined for a single creation. The ending page gives an overview of the steps to publish a pop-up book.
I've found this helpful in designing pop-up cards, which I make as one-offs.

This Czech designed pinhole camera is made from carefully cut out and constructed paper (needs to be stiff and lightproof). The name comes from the Czech word for pinhole (dirka) and a pun on Nikon. Uses 35mm film. Remember that you'll want a long exposure for a pinhole camera.

Origami and other crafts from round paper, particularly paper plates. From a purist's perspective it is not very good, tape and bobby pins are used to hold things together. But if you look past that the stuff is quite good.
