Great for more than origami ...
I don't do much origami, but I DO make a lot of hand-crafted greeting cards, and this worked great to use as background papers for quick and easy holiday cards. My cards are either 4.25" x 5.5" OR 5" x 6.5" -- so the size of this paper works just fine for either one, since I usually leave about 1/4" border showing.The colors are 2 shades of red (not "tomato" red -- more of a brick red); 3 shades of green (2 are slightly "olive" tone -- not emerald or kelly; the other is more of a "forest" green); 2 shades of brown (darker, and lighter gold/beige); and an almost greek-flag blue. Most of the prints are on a white background. There are a few solids, and a number of geometric prints. There was really only one design out of 32 that I really didn't like -- not bad, really! The prints are small enough to work well on cards, too.The paper quality is fine -- it doesn't take kindly to any "wet" adhesive (including glue stick), but works OK with double-sided tape.Overall, this was a good buy for my purposes. I'm well-stocked with papers for dozens of holiday cards!

Plenty of pages, feels like newspaper
The media could not be loaded. ย I'm giving these a 3.5 because it's a good value (over 500 sheets and some instructions in a cute pack) with a few flaws.- I like that there are plenty of sheets per design.- Most designs are cute.- The variety is great. Love the red and white pages particularly.- There are instructions for a few basic folds and a few designs at the beginning of the book.- The number of pages in a handy package make it a fun gift for anyone crafty in your life.- The pages are pretty perfectly square, surprisingly!- The paper is thin. Whether this is good or bad depends on what you're doing with it and personal preferences. It's not quite tissue paper thin but more like newspaper.- The paper is all only ONE sided. Big downside. Many origami designs require two sides so having one side white is a disappointment.Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It's not the only origami package you'll want if your designs are double-sided but it's great for many designs and great for practice.... AND other non-origami papercrafting!

Not perfect, but good enough.
The pack comes with quite a few nice Christmas designs. Sure, they are all red and green except one set of blue snowflakes, but this apparently doesn't bother me nearly as much as it bothers some people. I would like to find some more elegant Christmas paper, but so far no luck. However, for my use of this paper, it is just fine!I made quite a few stars, modular wreaths of different styles, and other things to give out as gifts. I'm also working on a 1000 crane project using this paper (I attached a picture, which I think was taken at the 400 mark).This paper is not perfectly square. I typically cut each sheet into 4ths and there's definitely a discrepancy in the corners and edges. The discrepancy has not been big enough to harm any of the projects I have done so far, so unless your pattern is EXTREMELY unforgiving, this paper should still work. But the out-of-squareness is certainly noticeable when you're folding.My other minor problem with this paper is that it feels newspapery.The fact is, this is not the best origami paper and depending on the paper you normally use, this one might feel cheap. However, to make a bunch of Christmas designs, it works just fine!

Good product but not exactly a perfect square.
Great product for the price, and good for having fun with the kids making christmas ornaments and 3D trees to decorate de table. Well packed and timely delivered. The paper holds the fold well, and several different prints (32) which made it even more fun to work with, specially with the kids. The only reason it did not get a 5 stars is because it is not exactly a square. There is a slight difference. I mean, very very small difference of 2 millimetres perhaps, and for simple projects it works great, but for more complex ones or for more demanding folders, this difference can be a bummer.

Great for Christmas
For the most part, this paper was perfect for a huge origami project I'm doing. Minus the last color set at the back of the book, there are 15 pages per design (last color is 10).The paper is a bit thicker than cheap origami paper, which is nice. The darker colored paper are the thickest.My only problems with this are that some (very very few) or the papers were imperfectly printed, which left white lines along the edges. Also, when you get to the last pages, the pages don't tear out very easily and glue gets stuck on them.

I loved the idea of this
I loved the idea of this .. and it's good value. I wasn't as impressed with the colors though -- the red and green are a bit drab. I also think a few more instructions as to good Christmas decorations would been useful .. like make waterbombs and then attaching a hanging loop.But for the buck$ I paid, this was great value. Would be fantastic to buy and work as a group with kids.

Red and Green and red and green...and yep...red and greeeeeeeen!
Lots of paper! (sturdy design). I would love to see more papers with designs on BOTH sides...alas it is not to be. Paper is glue-bound on one edge..plan on taking a lot of time carefully pulling all the paper off the tab before you get into any real folding. The number of sheets per design is fine and the number of unique designs is okay. But there is a lot of the same general reds and greens with not a lot of contrasting colors you may find in more traditional origami designs. I used it to make some Christmas tree ornaments, but could not really see using mostly dark reds and greens as they just blend too much into the tree...

Decent Paper But Not High Quality
I bought this paper pack to use in making modular origami ornaments. The paper weight was fine and the paper held up to many folds. I was not entirely happy with the colors. These paper patterns are a bit dull and not vivid enough for high-quality ornaments. Also, I do not think the paper is entirely square, but given that I was making modular ornaments this was not a major problem. I would recommend this paper for practice and if making pieces for children's projects.

Quality papers with really nice designs. Recommended.
Another supplier who produces lovely quality papers and this selection for Xmas is really nice. I used them to make origami boxes for little gifts full of quality chocolates.

Resistente e fantasie bellissime!
Bellissima carta natalizia per origami, resistente! Su un lato รจ bianca e sull'altro c'รจ il motivo. Ottima per realizzare stelle modulari ma anche origami con foglio singolo. Non lasciatevela scappare, ci sono anche alcune istruzioni per alcuni modelli ma in rete trovate molto di piu. Buon natale a tutti! Nelle foto tutte le fantasie!

The paper itself was very nice and the price was reasonable
The paper came bent, though it was packaged well, so, it didn't get damaged during shipping. The paper itself was very nice and the price was reasonable. I was still able to use most of it.

There was a good variety and good quality paper
There was a good variety and good quality paper. However I was disappointed that there were none of the bright colours I associate with Christmas.
