Origami Paper - Traditional Japanese Designs - Large 8 1/4": Tuttle Origami Paper: Double Sided Origami Sheets Printed with 12 Different Patterns (Instructions for 6 Projects Included) Loose Leaf – October 10, 2011

I originally purchased these to make paper lanterns, to put over a string of Christmas lights and have glowing lanterns.However, please note that this product IS NOT WASHI PAPER. It is very dense, with a glossy finish. They make terrible lanterns, because the light cannot get through the material at all.That being said, the designs are very beautiful (some I didn't even want to fold - I wanted to frame them instead), and the price is fantastic.There eight different patterns, six sheets of each, which is good if you fudge up the first couple of times. I wish there was more variety, but for this price it's a very good deal.

I love the gloss and patterns of this paper. It seems pretty forgiving to my novice origami. It’s a very light weight paper.

Gorgeous patterns. Slick and slippery. It's come in handy to wrap tiny gifts like earrings. As for folding origami, be very careful. Look at it wrong and it will tear! Not for beginners.

Great quality papers with nice patterns. This larger size is good for kids and for learning some of the folds before moving onto the 6 x 6 papers.

The paper is perfect for making Origami boxes 📦

Like the weight of the paper . It's perfect for oragami.

I folded some origami dragons with this. The sink-fold needed for this model worked, but the feel of the paper just didn’t feel right. It was thicker than I am used to, and it didn’t tear as easily as some other paper I have tried, but it still didn’t feel right. The paper is slick and glossy and it doesn’t like to keep it’s shape like the thinner and stronger paper made in Japan… Almost as if it was not intended to be folded. Traditional Japanese designs… from Hong Kong. Says so on the back of the package. The patterns are nice, but the quality is lacking. I’ll give it a moderate star rating, in all fairness.

This item arrived by the date specified and was in good condition. I like the colors & designs of this paper. Very nice paper & it looks like real fabric!
