Troubleshooting
Paper tears during folding
Ensure you are using a sharp crease and not forcing the paper against its grain; check for burrs on your fingernails or tools.
Model does not hold its shape
Use a tool like a bone folder to create firmer, sharper creases, and ensure you are working on a completely flat, non-cushioned surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large quantity of included paper saves time and money
- Detailed diagrams are easy to follow for beginners
- Includes a variety of patterns for beautiful final results
- Covers multiple difficulty levels and bird species
Cons
- The 448-page book is relatively heavy and large

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean, hard, and flat surface to work on to ensure crisp fold lines. No specialized tools are required, though a bone folder can help reinforce tight creases for more professional-looking results. When storing the kit, keep the paper sheets in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent warping, and ensure the book is kept away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the printed patterns.
