    Get a couple of simple books. They teach you the basic folds, valley folds, mountain folds, working on your hand coordination skills, and being precise. Take your time and try to be as accurate as possible with the instructions. It does require a certain precision, an artistic touch, and a lot of practice.

    Yes. Most types of paper will eventually absorb water and soften. You can slow this down by using paper with a wax coating.

    You can fill the waterbomb with water. Just remember that most types of paper will absorb some water and begin to soften. Over time this could cause your waterbomb to break down.
  • Question
    Which shape of paper should I use?
    Community Answer
    Use square paper. Rectangular pieces of paper are not symmetrical on the diagonal axis. You can make square sheets out of rectangular sheets if you don't already have them by folding down the top-left corner to the right edge (making sure the edges are aligned), then cutting the bottom portion off.
