Large Origami paper

Post by zxop9 »

Hi, I'm new to these forums and recently ordered Works of Satoshi Kamiya. My Origami paper is quite small and I have no idea where to get large sheets of paper for some of the models in his book. Any help where I can order these sheets would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

Try to use roll of wrapping paper (usually 70 - 100 cm wide) and cut square. Cheap and easy to store.

Hey zxop9,

Welcome to the forum.

I normally use Spectra ArtKraft Duo-Finish Paper.

You can easily order from Amazon.com

I'd recommand using 36" to start... normally Satoshi Kamiya's works are really harsh on paper so using weak paper will end up in frustration.

Happy folding

Try a teacher supply store, like TAPS. They have large paper on rolls and most will cut it to size for you. Just have them cut you several squares and you'll be good to start folding.
