Folding with tissue

Hi,

I'm thinking about folding a pretty complex model out of tissue (phoenix). I tried folding a simpler model out of the same kind of paper to see what it was like and i thought it was pretty hard because the paper is so thin. Can you please give me some tips on folding out of tissue?

thanks

Glue two sheets together with methyl cellulose.

And read the "Preferred folding material" sticky topic.

this may have been a quickshot, Anna.

its hard to suggest a model to you, without knowing your level of knowledge. so tell us about your experiences. are you a beginner or an expert?

I think he means squares of copy paper (which, technically, would also be rectangles

).

the squares were about 6 or 7 inches cuz i just printed the cps and folded them directly on the paper
