You can make a beautiful modular origami yourself, but for this you need to correctly approach the choice of working material, namely paper. To fold the modules, not only standard A4 sheets can be used, but also other types of paper.
DIY crafts are and will always be in price, especially if they are skillfully made. A very interesting idea for creativity is modular origami, which is made from paper and other auxiliary materials.
Modular origami from office paper
Modular origami is a figurine made of sheet-modules. For making 3D figures, you can use ordinary A4 office paper with a density that is suitable for printing on printers. Such paper will be an excellent material for creating modules, because it is not perfectly smooth, but at the same time it is quite thick. The modules, made of office colored paper, adhere securely to each other, and also do not slip when connected. On the folds, office paper does not whiten, which is certainly very important.
Modular origami from glossy paper
Pages from glossy magazines are also suitable for making modular origami. It is from glossy pages that you can make the brightest and most colorful origami, which from afar will resemble multi-colored glass figures. But do not choose too thin glossy paper, as it will tear at the folds.
Origami paper for children
Many children, no worse than adults, can make beautiful modular origami, but their work will still not be so professional. Therefore, for children's creativity, you can buy several sets of colored paper, but it is imperative that the sheets are thick enough. Why multiple sets? Because for the manufacture of modules, you will need more than one or two sheets of the same color. High-quality colored paper for children will not tear and "whiten" at the folds.
Special paper for modular origami
There is also a special paper for modular origami called "kami" on the market. The specificity of such paper lies in the fact that the sheets are already square in shape, as well as the optimal density for creating modular masterpieces. The kami sets contain several sheets of the same color, with one side being colored and the other white. There are also special sets where a sheet of paper is colored on both sides.
Folding paper size
For modular origami, not only A4 sheets can be used. For this type of creativity, paper of a variety of sizes is suitable. If the modules are supposed to be made triangular, it is recommended to take paper of 1/16 or 1/32 of the usual A4 size.
