They make nice decorations. I did setup a store on etsy last week, but haven't sold any yet.

does it cost much in paper?? how many do you make??

i dont think i'd have much patience!

If you are happy enough to get A4 paper and trim it yourself (most designs you start with a square of paper) then it's as cheap as you can find paper for. Some shops do have specialist origami papers, and you can find all sorts. The Works usually have a specific pack in, I've bought a few the same, for £1.50 and you get 100 sheets in about 10 different sizes and colours (so 1 colour per size) That specific paper is quite thin, so good for small models. I've also had some from Rennies, which is a dear shop anyway, and I bought a pack in there last week and it was about £6 for 100 sheets of 8" paper (4 sheets of 5 designs in 5 colours). I've also had stuff off eBay, which is a bit more due to postage, but I've had some good stuff from shop sellers. It all depends on what kind of sizes, colours and patterns you want.

i think i shall look into this...

You're best sticking to simple models at first, learning the bases and basic folds, and then just build up. If you have some paper around cut a few into squares and try some basic little designs.

ahhh you know, if i had some paper i could get creative!

Not got any paper at all? Even like printer paper or anything?

we dont seem to have any printer paper which is quite odd..

I have lots of it, because I haven't printed anything for a while because I can't afford to be spending £40 to replace all of my ink cartridges right now (and can't buy copies this time as they won't work)

lol we've just replaced our ink cartridges, our printer scans copies prints and stuff...
