Just regular printin paper

Answer by Laryanne
Well, at some craft stores, you can find a whole entire set that includes a book, special square paper, and other things you need. My friend has one. You can also find the paper at the same craft store, I beleive! Hope this was helpful!

Answer by Eric
Go to ebay and search origami paper or go to a craft store and look for it good origami paper is usually sold in squares of various sizes, is colored and is usually thin dont use regular printing paper for complex creations because it is way to thick adn hard to work with but using it for simple folds is okay

Answer by Eric
I sometime use sketching paper (semi-clear paper) or rice paper (they might be the same thing)

There's lots of different kinds of origami paper, see here for ideas.
http://www.origami-resource-center.com/origami-paper.html In theory, you can use any paper including newspaper and pages ripped out of a magazine. IN practice, I often use regular office paper, they type you can use in a photocopier or a computer printer. These can come in different colors. Only in very special projects do I use the precut square sheets of origami paper that have fancy designs on it.
