But I can also give you some great ideas for paper that you can use for beautiful origami models...
It's not the end of the world if you can't get hold of proper origami paper: far from it! There are many other types of paper that will allow you to create the most beautiful origami designs.
Consider, for example, gift wrapping paper: it's relatively cheap, lightweight - so it holds the creases well, and it comes in a gorgeous array of patterns and colours. Best of all, it's so easy to find: in newsagents, supermarkets and gift stores. So next time you're out shopping, look around: a beautiful packet of origami paper could be nearby!
For an earthy and natural feel, why not try brown paper. It's even cheaper than gift wrap, comes in rolls (so you’ll never run out) and is much more versatile than you may think… You can decorate it too. I actually used it for wrapping Christmas presents one year, decorated by star potato-stamping! It sounds funny, but it looked fantastic. Haven’t ever made a potato stamp? Here’s a link:
