Material Recommendations

To make both models, you will need 4 sheets of paper. It would be nice to have 2 colors or 4 colors. If you have origami paper (6 inch squares), then you can use it. Models made from origami paper will not be as sturdy as models made from printer paper.

At the beginning of the class, we will fold and then cut the 4 papers into 4 pieces, each measuring 4.25 x 5.5 inches. This will give us the 16 papers needed to make both models. If white is the only printer paper available, you can color your models after the class.

For each model, select 2 colors, 4 of each OR 4 colors, 2 of each OR 8 colors, 1 of each. This is a total of 16 sheets.
