Q&A for How to Make Origami Paper

A heavier paper typically implies greater thickness, often measured in grams per square meter (GSM). Depending on the specific model of origami and the desired outcome, using thicker or sticker paper can present challenges in folding. For instance, when teaching how to make an origami boomerang, I recommend a certain GSM, approximately 100, and include this advice in my instructions. In general, it holds true that heavier paper can be more difficult to fold, particularly if the model involves numerous folds layered on top of each other, making the paper denser and harder to manipulate.
