Answer by Tiffany
Actually 12 x 12 paper isn't really that big, but you could try animals--a peacock is nice--or open cubes to display something in. I have yet to find any good instructions online, but you can probably get some decent origami books at your local library. Good luck

If it's a strong sturdy paper, maybe a box that can be used for decoration and storage. here's a square box that would come out to be 4 x 4 x 2 inches (lwh):
