Question

Can I use regular paper instead of origami paper?

Community Answer

You can, but make sure it is thin. Thick paper like construction paper or card stock won’t work for this project, they will not bend well.

Question

Why does only one of the wings work on my origami flying bird?

Community Answer

Make sure the wings are folded forward in a triangular formation on both sides. If that doesn’t work, try making a new one.
