Looking to make a pair of scissors folded in origami, so far I have only found 2 models but looking for more options. It's especially hard to search for origami scissors because most internet hits don't understand I want to actually make scissors as the model, nearly all the hits are for things describing origami as not cutting the paper with scissors, etc

In last years odt someone made sciccors. Balto if I am correct. Do a search here on the forum and pm the designer you might get lucky.

I recently designed scissors as part of a challenge (Guess The Game) in the German forum:

(AFAIK you have to be logged in in the German forum to view the picture. I don't know if it's possible to attach the picture in this thread and I don't have an external server to store it. Sorry.)

I don't remember doing scissors for the ODT, but all you have to do is sink the tip of a waterbomb base several times (8ths should work) and reverse-fold two of the flaps for a color change. Then just curve them around and lock them into themselves for handles. The other two flaps serve as the blades.

I would post a picture, but I don't have access to Flickr at the moment.
