Origami foil paper

First of all, this is not a book, it's a collection of 18 sheets of foil backed with white paper, for use in folding origami models. The foil is reasonably good quality and does not crack when you make a sharp fold as some do. The range of colours is quite good though as always in a multi pack like this there are some you may not want to use. The sheets are cut very accurately and the papers work well for folding complex models as the foil is very thin.

I regard the cost as being the one thing against this product, there is no need for all the extra packaging and the paper could easily have been sold in its cellophane wrapping only with just a tab at the top or a cardboard insert with the publisher information, and then it could have cost far less. However it's difficult to find good quality origami foil, this is similar in feel to Japan foil so seasoned folders will be pleased to have an easily available supply.

I have a 9 yr. old son that is really into Origami, I have a hard time finding him the right kind of paper here were we live. Amazon has tons of choices on paper and he loves this foil paper the best! This is also an excellent value.

Great paper for folding, foil stays on the paper even after a few creases or folds, it doesnt release from the paper as some do.

bought this for my sister she loved the colors and the size of it. but she mostly loved the
fact it was shiny. great product for little kids.

I find the paper quality excellent, it's like the japanese foil that I use normally. It's easy to fold and the colours are beautiful. The price is good too, it's less expensive than in the online origami paper shop where I generally do my shopping.

Arrived quickly, product was exactly as advertised, what more can you ask for?

By the way, why dosen't Amazon offer a spell check option for these reviews. I know I can cut and paste it into e-mail or word processing program and spell check and cut and paste it back in, but why should I have to? E-mail Amazon if you agree.

this was exactly what we expected, wonderful colors, quick shipping, thank you for a perfect birthday gift for an origami obsessed boy!

I didn't like this item too much due to the material of the paper. It seemed much more a normal paper than the ones to the origami craft.

It is fine - the sheets are tiny, but the description says that. I was expecting more from it, but it will work for my purposes.

The paper is standard origami paper, very light weight and flexible and comes packaged very well. My husband had ordered this for me because I use Origami at work to teach teens patience, persistence, and teamwork. I bought this to add some different colors to the mix of things. The colors were bright and shiny and the origami turned out wonderful. There just was not nearly enough paper in the pack for the price. Other than the price, it worked great. Just beware that some of the folds are a little harder to see where the foil is shiny rather than normal origami paper that is matte.
