This study examines the Braggs bandgap and its mechanical tuning in a stretch-buckled kirigami sheet with "zig-zag" distributed parallel cuts. When stretched beyond a critical threshold, the kirigami buckles out-of-plane and generates a 3D periodic architecture. Our theoretical calculation, numerical simulation, and experiments confirm the transverse elastic wave propagation bandgaps and their correlation to stretching. This result opens an avenue of using kirigami as a simple and effective approach for creating and adapting periodicity for wave propagation control.
