Product Information

Full details

The Origami Blue & White Shibori Paper Pack by Tuttle Publishing is perfect for origami enthusiasts of all levels who want to explore sophisticated, traditional Japanese aesthetics. The key benefit is the expansive collection of 256 high-quality, double-sided folding sheets that bring an elegant, textured look to your paper crafts. One caveat is that the paperback format requires careful page removal or folding directly from the book, which may not be as convenient as loose-leaf square paper packs for high-volume folders.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the sheets pre-cut?

No, the sheets are part of a 528-page paperback book and need to be removed and trimmed to size.

How many patterns are included?

The collection features various shibori-inspired patterns spread across 256 sheets.

Is this suitable for children?

Yes, it is suitable for crafters of all levels, though younger children may need assistance with the initial trimming of the sheets.

What is the quality of the paper?

The paper is designed for origami, offering the appropriate weight and texture to hold sharp creases well.

Can I use these sheets for other paper crafts?

Absolutely. While intended for origami, the high-quality, patterned paper is excellent for scrapbooking, collage, and card making.

Troubleshooting

Paper tears when removing from the binding.

Use a utility knife to carefully slice through the margin near the binding rather than pulling the page directly.

Model is not folding symmetrically.

Check your initial trim; the paper must be an exact square. Re-measure and trim any excess edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High volume of sheets ensures plenty of material for practice and complex projects
  • Beautiful, artistic patterns elevate standard origami models
  • Double-sided designs create a more polished, professional appearance
  • Includes helpful instructions for those new to the craft

Cons

  • Paperbound format requires detaching pages which may damage edges if not done carefully
  • Not pre-cut into perfect squares; requires precise trimming for standard origami patterns
  • Limited variety of instructional models compared to the total volume of paper provided

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your paper collection, follow these care steps:

  1. Extraction: Use a sharp craft knife and a metal ruler to cleanly cut pages along the binding to avoid tearing the paper fibers.
  2. Trimming: Before beginning any model, verify the page is a true square. If your model requires specific sizing, use a self-healing cutting mat to ensure straight, clean edges.
  3. Storage: Store the remaining book in a cool, dry place to prevent the paper from yellowing or the pages from becoming brittle.
  4. Handling: Keep hands clean and dry before handling the sheets, as oils from the skin can affect the paper finish over time.
