Over-sized Origami Folding at Birthday Party


Last Sunday I did a birthday party for a young, 9-year old origami enthusiast.  He wanted to make over-sized origami.  The paper his mom picked up from Graphaid was cut into imperfect 53" x 53" squares. 

There were about 14 sheets of this paper.  Half the party goers played in the bouncy house out front.  The other half were pretty good folders and were easy to coach.

Michael that is AWESOME! Please share info on paper used for LARGE models, I have tried using large paper (butcher paper) but it is too weak and does not "stand up". Keep up the FUN !!

The paper was picked up from Graphaid, 53” x 53”. I'm not sure what weight the paper was, but it certainly wasn't as thin as butcher paper.
