The Tuttle Marbled Origami set is a specialty paper product designed for those who want a unique aesthetic for their finished models. Each of the 200 sheets is 6 inches square and features one of 12 different marbled patterns. The paper weight, approximately 60-70 GSM, provides the necessary "crispness" for intermediate geometric folds without the "spring-back" effect often found in heavier bond papers.
The high-resolution printing process ensures that the marbled designs remain vibrant even after the paper has been handled and folded. Because it holds a sharp crease so well, it is a great choice for models like butterflies or cranes where the reverse side of the paper is visible. The kit also includes a project booklet to provide inspiration for using these specific patterns effectively. To ensure the best results, handle the paper with care to maintain the integrity of the surface ink at the sharpest vertices.
The high cellulose density is a critical feature for 6-inch sheets, providing the structural memory needed for complex sink folds and delicate animal features.
If you are looking for patterns inspired by nature instead of marbled textures, the Nature Patterns 200-sheet pack provides a similar quantity with floral and leaf motifs.
