Does anyone know what paper is commonly used for origami?
1, ordinary A4 paper (mainly refers to the paper made of this material, not necessarily A4 size), generally about 70g to 80g, which is relatively thick and has poor toughness. Generally, things that are too complicated cannot be folded, because it is easy to fold the paper many times.

2. Hand-rubbed paper: generally buy 64cm size, generally 58 g. Compared with A4, its toughness is much better, and it can basically meet all kinds of origami needs (of course, it depends on personal skills to make it complicated). The biggest advantage of hand-kneading paper is that it has many colors and is cheap, but its plasticity is poor and it is not easy to set.

3. Kraft paper: Generally, all products are fully opened, with different thicknesses. Generally speaking, less than 40g is more suitable. There are two kinds, brown cowhide and white cowhide (very good texture). Cowhide is characterized by good toughness and plasticity, but its color is monotonous, water-resistant and easy to get wet by water.

Moreover, because the cowhide is thicker than the paper below, the work used to fold the snake belly may become very thick and difficult to shape, so it depends on personal feelings;

4. Waxed paper: This kind of paper is relatively thin, which is very suitable for folding insects or miniature works. This kind of paper looks like plastic film, not like paper. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to grasp. Because the paper surface is smooth, it will feel a little slippery when folded.

But also very obvious creases will be left in the folding process; In addition, waxed paper is often used to make composite paper with other papers (only two pieces of paper are glued together to make two-color paper).

5. Oily paper: A kind of paper that feels comfortable to fold and is thin enough. I remember 40g. It itself is used to make food wrapping paper, but it is very suitable for origami. Although there are not many colors, they are enough. Suggestions.

6. Tin foil: This is actually the kind used for barbecue, which is generally used to combine with other things. Because of the metal characteristics of tin foil, the effect of setting when folding with this composite paper is very good, but not enough. Because of its complexity, it is thicker.

7, chicken skin: It is said that the feel and thickness are very good.

8. Handmade paper: There are two main types, both of which are two-color paper with one side colored and one side white. Very suitable for folding small works of two colors or practicing hands.

(1). Muji (hen):

This quality is better, of course, the price is relatively higher. Everything bought online is 15cm in size and rich in colors, so it is a good choice to fold some relatively complicated little things.

2. Smart dog (said to be from Guangzhou)

This kind is relatively low-grade, regardless of price or quality, but it is suitable for practicing hands and folding some small things.

Basic folding method and origami marking

Before making origami, it is best to remember the basic folding methods and origami symbols. The following are the common folding methods and symbols in origami, that is, the Ji Ze-Landero system used in general origami:

Valley fold: the crease is folded into a valley shape, which is indicated by a short dotted line in the figure.

Mountain-shaped fold: the scratches protrude outward in the shape of mountain peaks, which are indicated by alternate long and short dashed lines in the figure.

Fold out the crease and open it: fold the crease in the mountain and fold the crease in the valley.

Fold: Fold repeatedly in the same direction.

Layer folding: valley folding and mountain folding alternate.

Middle folding: Fold the crease according to the peak line; Thumb inserted at the bottom, index finger placed at the top; Press the index finger down to make it overlap with the crease and sink in; Overlap with the crease and fold hard.

Cover folding: fold the crease according to the peak line; Put your thumb on the tip of your heart and press hard with your index finger and middle finger; Fold down along the crease like a lid; Press the crease hard.

Reverse folding: Fold the crease according to the peak line; Insert your thumb into the bottom, put your index finger on the top and fold down along the peak line; Then make a middle fold down the peak line to make it concave; Press the crease hard.

Inside out: keep it up and down and turn it over as it is.

Open: Open and flatten at the arrow.
