Origami Sandwhich paper

Sandwich papers

The sandwich paper is so called because it is usually made up of three layers: a metallic sheet is sandwiched between two colorful sheets.

Advantages:

- You could obtain a double-sided papers with the colors you want.

- Ideally suited to fold complex models

- Easy shaping thanks to its foil sheet

Disadvantages:

- The metallic appearance can be seen through the tissue paper (to avoid that, use foil papers backed and glue the tissue paper on the white face, or use chlorinated tissue-paper, or use Tissue-foil paper instead of foil)

- It can age badly (unicolor tissue-paper can happen to fade in the light => replace it by Unryu or chlorinated tissue-paper)

- Wrinkled aspect if we do not fold carefully.

How to make sandwich paper ? You need:

A sheet of foil
Two sheets of tissue paper (Unryu, unicolor, textured ... etc)

- Please have a spray glue (bought in any hobbies store) and an old credit card to the taping.

- Put yourself in a well-ventilated room (spray adhesive is quite toxic) and protect your work surface with newspapers.

So you get a very strong but thin sheet, easy to shape, with the desired color for each side.
