Origami Paper - Kimono Patterns - Large 8 1/4" - 48 Sheets: Tuttle Origami Paper: Double-Sided Origami Sheets Printed with 8 Different Designs (Instructions for 6 Projects Included)

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 Amazon 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.

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.

I originally purchased these to make paper lanterns, to put over a string of Christmas lights and have glowing lanterns.However, please note that this product IS NOT WASHI PAPER. It is very dense, with a glossy finish. They make terrible lanterns, because the light cannot get through the material at all.That being said, the designs are very beautiful (some I didn't even want to fold - I wanted to frame them instead), and the price is fantastic.There eight different patterns, six sheets of each, which is good if you fudge up the first couple of times. I wish there was more variety, but for this price it's a very good deal.

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.

Looks like a beautifully written book however, recipient already has it so I'll be returning it.

Beautiful high quality paper and color

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.

the prints are beautiful, but the paper feels like a patinated magazine page, it doesn't have the nice "rough" texture of traditional origami paper.

This paper is pretty but doesn't have a fantastic range of styles. I was hoping for a bigger range of deep and pastel shades. The paper is fairly similar to regular wrapping paper in texture and has a slight shine. To do a really good fold, slightly thicker, sturdier paper works better. The main drawback for people trying a new fold for the first time is that the design is printed on both sides. This can make following the diagram trickier as the white side often helps in figuring out the instructions. Maybe best to try on plain origami paper first. On the upside, for some folds, this could be an advantage as you won't have any white areas on your finished piece.

I am pretty happy with the patterns, but I am disappointed by the fact that it is the same pattern on each side. Usually double-sided origami paper means pattern on one side and solid color (different than white) on the other side. Not that I won't use it, but it won't serve the purpose I bought it for.And yeah - it is too glossy, which is not too good for folding, but I did expect that :)Overall it is pretty paper.

Very nice to have as a hobby

just what i needed

I love this paper. the patterns are really nice and a good size. I will recommend it to my friends
