Just a question can you use different type of paper like light construction paper if you don’t have origami paper? Just curious.
Hi Denise,
Many different papers are used for origami. It also depends on the model you are going to fold.
If it is simple enough and can be made with only a few folds, construction paper will be fine.
For example, the box you find in the following link can be made with construction paper

If the model is more than a few folds, you can try printer paper.
As a general rule, thin and crisp paper is what gives you the most range.
Thanks. :)

I folded the origami love message. At the bottom instead of a message i put a rectangular box (Can be even a magazine box). For 6′ model i folded the box from a paper size 4.2’x2.5′ or 10.7 x 7 c”m. i filled them with candies, or you can put a ring as a gift. The model is awsome
