The paper used to make Origami designs is special in that it is thin but heavy. There are also many different types of paper that you can purchase for specific designs. Here are some types of paper and a little about each.

Origami paper

Origami paper is square most of the time, but it can also be a rectangle or a circle. These sheets also come in different colors, but most of the time they are white on one side and then colored on the other side.

Foil

Foil makes for awesome projects, but they are a little harder to fold. They come in many different colors as well. The down side to foil is a fold will put a crease on the paper which means you will ruin the design if you unfold and fold again.

Animal print

This type of paper is especially good for kids. They come in many different prints and will allow kids to use their imagination when creating projects. The down side to animal prints is they don?t look very good as a three dimensional piece.

There are many other types of paper that you can purchase. You can purchase some of these at craft or hobby stores while others are only available online.
