What is the weight of the paper?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty following a step in the book

Review the introductory section of the book to ensure familiarity with basic folding symbols and terminology.

Creases are not sharp enough

Use a bone folder or the edge of a credit card to press down on the folds firmly after each step.

Paper tearing during complex folds

Ensure your hands are clean and dry; moisture or oils from the skin can soften the paper fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality paper stock that is easy to fold and holds creases well
  • Beautiful, hand-drawn Chiyogami patterns offer a professional finish
  • Comprehensive instructional book with over 200 pages of content
  • Good value for money given the quantity of sheets and projects included

Cons

  • Fixed paper patterns limit the ability to create custom color combinations
  • Large book format may be slightly cumbersome to keep open while folding
  • Paper size is optimized for specific models, which may restrict large-scale folding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get started, ensure you have a clean, flat surface to work on to prevent the paper from wrinkling. No additional adhesives are required for standard origami, though you may keep a bone folder handy to sharpen your creases. To maintain the quality of the paper, store the sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry area to prevent humidity from affecting the paper's texture. When following the instructions in the 240-page book, use a bookmark to keep your place. If you find the book difficult to lay flat, you may gently weight the edges down, but avoid using harsh clips that could dent the pages.
