[Nfb-krafters-korner] Origami Boxes

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi there,
You can use any kind of paper. I find that if one uses too thick, stiff or 
rigid paper, the folding gets difficult and results are not good. Very thin 
paper on the other hand will not give good results either and won't hold up 
for long.
I like to use colored construction paper or to practice, printer or copy 
paper is great.
For basic origami boxes you can use card stock but I'd go for thinner paper 
if the boxes are more complicated.
Keep in mind there are also fairly easy boxes you can fold from rectangular 
paper.
HTH
