Expert Answer

Focus on making precise and sharp folds. Do this by pressing each fold firmly using your fingernail or the edge of a ruler to make a crease, this creates crisp edges that stay in place. The paper you choose is also as important. Thicker options like cardstock or heavy origami paper hold their shape much better than thin and regular sheets. If you're working with lighter paper, try lightly misting it with water before folding. This adds a bit of stiffness and helps you create cleaner, more secure creases.

Question

Do I have to use this kind of paper?

Community Answer

Not really, but it might work better if you do. If you don't have any origami paper, you can usually just use printer paper cut into a square.

Question

Can’t I use cardboard? And if it rips, can I still use it?

Community Answer

No, you cannot use cardboard because that will not fold. If it rips a bit, then it should be fine, but if it's larger than about 1/8 of the length of the paper or on any major creases, then you should use another piece of paper.

Question

Do I need one sheet of paper?

Community Answer

Yes. The paper is green on one side and red on the other. You can also put a red paper and green paper back to back and use that as your paper.

Question

Can I glue/tape green paper to the back of my red paper?

Community Answer

Of course! It may be a bit harder because it'll be thicker and harder to fold, but it should work just fine.
