This paper comes in about 6 patterns. Obviously, whether or not to like a pattern is a matter of personal preference, but I found one of the patterns in here truly awful, and another 2 or 3 so-so at best. They were just extremely busy and not to my taste. The remaining patters were nice enough.As another reviewer pointed out, it is a bit harder to see creases when folding with patterned paper. However, there's ample solid-colored paper available. If you're considering this type of paper, you're obviously looking for patterns.It's hard to find patterned paper on bigger than 6.5", so it's great the Tuttle sells at least three packs with various patterns larger than 8" square. Anything smaller than 8" is really too small for most folds, in my opinion.The paper is moderately thick (a bit thicker than standard origami paper I think) with a glossy finish. It seems to be cut fairly well, as, unlike with other paper I've used, the corners match up when one folds it in half.
Very generous with 48 sheets (not washi texture, but printed on shiny paper like the pages of the book & are double sided, 8 1/4"squares); the prints are authentic vintage Japanese prints. Easy to work with and follow! I enjoyed making the cranes and balloons.
I am an origami freak and this paper suites me perfect! It's double sided which is great for flowers and its thickness holds the folds beautifully!!! I've ordered this product several times and will continue to do so.
I should have heeded the review of another purchaser. It is not origami paper. It seems to be images of fabrics printed onto magazine-like paper. I am giving it 3 stars only because I didn't intend to use it as origami paper but for junk journaling and I do like some of the patterns and the size. I don't plan on buying this again.
Good deal for quite a number of sheets of paper - paper quality is similar to that of wrapping paper. I like that the prints are double sided - there was maybe only 1 darker print that I didn't really like but the others are decent. I used these to fold some origami dresses.
This was my first pack of origami paper so I can only review based on that but I enjoyed this paper. The large size was great for a beginner like myself and the sheets were very pretty. I even framed a couple to use as decor. The paper has sort of a.... plasticy feel to it though, which I'm not sure if that's normal or not. It was just as easy to fold as regular paper though, if not easier. My only complaint are the instructions for folding that come with this are not beginner friendly. I was very confused and had to go to youtube for more helpful tutorials.
Beautiful origami product in weight and vibrancy/design. Best used for origami designs that do not require double-sided paper. I use this paper for the larger size of Origami Peace Cranes in art installations and for instruction with art students.
This paper was perhaps the ugliest origami paper I've ever seen in 52 years of doing origami. The patterns were very dark and depressing and, unlike most double-sided paper, it had the same pattern on both sides. This totally defeated the purpose of having print on both sides of the paper. I would advise against buying it.Peace out,Elyse
