Usage Tips

Choosing the Format
  • Complex models: favor a large sheet (48x48 cm and larger)
  • Intermediate models: a 30x30 cm sheet is generally sufficient
Dry Folding

Ideal for tessellations, modular, and many intermediate models. Also suitable for complex models with few thickness overlaps.

Wet Folding
Technique 1 (Simplest)

First fold the model dry as far as possible. When the folds become more resistant, locally moisten the folding areas using a damp sponge or a water spray.

Technique 2

Fully moisten the sheet, then quickly fold the model before drying. Then air dry or use a hairdryer, maintaining certain areas if necessary. This method requires excellent knowledge of the folding sequence.

 

Light Gray Elephant Hide paper is a preferred choice for folders who wish to explore expressive, sculptural, and durable shapes while maintaining excellent folding comfort.
