Nice projects.By She isThe paper is a knockout selection of double-sided; intensely colored and detailed traditional-style designs with contrasting backings. The inks range from flat to gloss to metallic and all papers have a very smooth waxy/semi-gloss finish. Fortunately they do not have the particularly noxious smell that some papers do; but the booklet does emit some odors that may be offensive to the chemically sensitive for close-up work and needs to be aired out. I was shocked by the quality of the paper in a kit targeted for for beginning-to-intermediate folders. That alone has me entirely happy with the purchase. The booklet is a booklet; not a book; and in its brevity condenses steps that would be better shown in a longer series of simpler diagrams into fewer diagrams with numbers for which folds to do in sequence. This would be hard for a beginner to grasp and would be quite discouraging if this were their only source for learning. They would be better off learning the techniques of basic origami from some simple projects easily found for free online or from the library; or even from a small packet of orgami paper that inclues instructions for a few standard models in the packaging; as many do. There are some projects in the booklet that are simple enough for a beginner; but the projects are not presented in order of complexity. The models are nicely diverse; by a variety of good designers; and are likely to offer at least a few that are different even for experienced origamists; who would surely appreciate the papers.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful and classic! Worth the pennies!By Meesha LooPurchased for my 13 year old who absolutely loves working with any kind; shape; design or thickness of paper. HE LOVES THIS! We have now sat down and had Origami-offs! They have been very fun! I didnt realize what a fun thing it would be for me as well.PROS:The product is extremely well worth the money. The papers are very good quality with beautiful prints on them. The instruction book is well written with fairly easy to read; concise descriptions of how to build origami pieces. The Box is well constructed out of cardboard and will hold onto the contents for a time; not to leave you with a mound of paper and book and no box.CONS:The instructions; in my opinion; could easily have a couple of pieces for smaller and more beginner people. I think they are AWESOME foldables; however; I even had a hard time with a couple of them. I am an adult of a specific age... ;>)Thank you for making such a great product.The picture is the first Koi our family has ever owned!

BurnsDespite the reviews of others here; I found the folding paper to be glossy magazine-like; and was unforgiving. Tight corners would tear easily; and folds were not pliable or adjustable like some more "cotton-like" papers. Plus the papers did emit a "ink-like" odor and left smudges on the hands. Paper patterns were quite pretty though.
