Avenue Mandarine - Ref 52501MD - Origami Sheet Pack - Geometric Patterns - 60 Fully Printed Sheets, 20 x 20cm, Eye Sticker Sheet Included, 70gsm Paper, Suitable for Ages 7+

Easy to fold, lovely designs and double sided. The sticker sheet of eyes included was a pleasant surprise. Handy size at 20x20cm that can be cut to size if needed. The paper has quite a strong smell which doesn’t bother me but it might be unpleasant for some.

Great for crisp clean folds. Fabulous colours and patterns.

Good quality, a bit on the thick side, for more competent origami makers.

I bought this for our craft group. The paper has lovely designs and is good quality. We made origami boxes, and the paper creased perfectly and crisply.

Good quality 👌

I make iris folded cards and this paper cut into strips folds beautifully. I have purchased all the other designs in the range and am extremely happy with the varieties within the packs. As it folds well it will be great for origami, which it is made for any way. The sheets are a good size too!!

The paper is cut evenly so there are no irregular edges. The colour is however flat, dull and has a disappointing matte quality to it. This might be a matter of preference especially if you want to make discrete background models that aren't too in your face but, even so, there's a lack of warmth to colours that isn't replicated on the box illustrations. On a positive note, the presentation box is nice and the paper, whilst being of the recycled variety, is not rough to touch and isn't flimsy in terms of weight or accidental tear risk. I don't think I would buy the product again - I possibly might if it was on a lightning sale - but otherwise there's better to be bought for less on Amazon.

I like the 20 cm size, making origami stars as Christmas decorations. Taken one star off, because out of all the colours, 20 of the papers are either a very dark red, or a very muted and sad cream shade, both unsuitable for decorations, therefore I only used 30 pieces out of the pack. Overall the colours are a bit more muted than in the photo, except the bright green. I wish they showed what patterns you get more clearly in the photos before you buy, it's a bit of guesswork.
