Making Tissue Foil (Origami Paper)

[SuperPutilin]

[AozoraOrigami]

can i use white glue for this?

[ko142007]

Yay for Brian Chan! LOL :)

[AozoraOrigami]

is it 1 sheet per color?

[piyushkhemka23]

just made mine first tissue foil yesterday.. :) .. thanks @AdamsSara

[itsmeordadog]

Is it possible to buy tissue foil from craft stores or do you have to make it yourself?

[itamarbe23]

It will also work with plastic glue

[MsAngrybb]

Can you make some fast motion??

[aaliyahSCS]

You say "and" alot

[musicalorigamiable]

Wo bekommst du eigentlich dieses "Tissue" her?

[mmt365]

what and what as it's main ingredients for the glue?

[redgator12]

@mmt365 Resin and Methyl Cellulose.

[TheFluffyFilms]

@freshlyIced any store, target, craft stores, etc

[KraftyKatsy]

have to try this ty

[itachieye12]

Do you no what I can use to make the foil stiff?

[FunMaster105]

i used regular elmers glue and it worked



[mechaprime00]

double tissue foil????

[JTorigami]

is tissue paper softer than stationary paper?

[AdamsSara]

@JTorigami Tissue paper by itself is very soft. I'm not sure what you mean by stationary paper, but I'm almost certain tissue paper is softer. :)

[Airflaree]

hi...where can I find the tubes in order to wrap the tissue paper like yours in the video? in the minute 02:45 What are they?

[Jonbirnil]

@Airflaree She's using the tubes, you get inside rolls of giftwrap.

[redgator12]

@Airflaree You can use any tubes. I use pieces of PVC pipe to roll mine, and PVC is pretty cheap, you can buy around 10 feet of it for $2

[damianbodzak5]

AdamsSara what is the name of blue

[amandino1]

Hi , can you show me an origami made with that tissue foil ?

[Origamispecialist]

One more thing would wallpaper glue work?

[Origamispecialist]

when you say glue is most important i don't think so because you wouldnt have tissue foil without either of the ingredients

[joeorigami1999]

@AdamsSara Agreed, All I am saying is that like kami and probably copy paper are more common than tissue foil to use as origami paper

[joeorigami1999]

00:04 - 00:06 , actually, tissue foil isn't the most usual paper at all

[AdamsSara]

@joeorigami1999 No, but the paper I'm showing you how to make is usually called tissue foil. ;)

[Origamispecialist]

Aluminum or tin?

[cyrusrom]

@Origamispecialist you can use either

[joshovideos]

will it work if i just glue (or gluestick) the paper with foil?

[AdamsSara]

@joshovideos It will be very hard to evenly spread glue with a glue stick. Basically, you want to use a glue that you can spread evenly and thinly without adding wrinkles to the foil or tissue. Having said that, different types of glues can be used. I recommend using something that dries transparent. I know quite a few people use spray glue, but I personally don't like using it. It's toxic, and usually results in a thicker layer of glue than the method I demonstrate.

[chavalow302]

where can i find the diagrams or CP of that rose?

[AdamsSara]

@chavalow302 Diagrams are in Tanteidan Convention Book 12.

[jeffreyalmere]

@AdamsSara i live in another country and my englis is not good but can you explain what tissue paper is or where you can buy it please?

ps love how you explain origamis

[superglassesman2011]

do you have to have TWO sided foil paper?

[AdamsSara]

@superglassesman2011 You can add tissue paper to one side of the foil only, if you like. This is true especially if only one side of the paper will show.

[cyrusrom]

ok thanks but if your favourite model in origami insects and their kin is the scorpion it doesent meen that the only model you will fold is the scorpion

for me try the treehopper first because it is the easiest

[Slawomiras1]

Great video. I do this first time, i'm hope it will help me and give a lot of fun :D

Great thanks !

[Pandananner]

Would you be able to use just foil for origami or is the tissue important?

[AdamsSara]

@Pandananner Folding from pure foil is possible, but very hard. If you have a small rip in the foil, it will extend quickly. Foil also crumbles easily and is not forgiving at all. So, yes, the paper component does change the quality of the resulting paper a lot, and is important.

[Drvaxo]

@AdamsSara

amazon.com/12-Art-Tissue-Paper­-sheets/dp/B00006IDZ6/ref=sr_1­_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300452077&sr=8­-1 i can use this ?

[AdamsSara]

@Drvaxo Yes, that looks like the right paper to use.

[origamieder]

What is the size of paper you do in the video?

[AdamsSara]

@origamieder The size of the big squares I cut in the end have a side length of 28.25cm (about 11 inches).

[dainenko]

@AdamsSara could it be possible to make bigger like 35x35 cm paper from kitchen foil? maybe adding another row of foild on tissue which is left unused?

[girjack]

wow thats awsome i never knew it was that easy THANK YOU very much!!!

[xXCardsMagicXx]

i wonder if you can buy foil like that from somewhere?|

[AdamsSara]

@xXCardsMagicXx This particular kind: not that I'm aware of. The main advantage of this technique is that you can do whatever color combination you want. If you don't have that restriction, there are other foil papers for sale that are probably better to work with.

[TheKize1617]

i can glue the two foil to make big one?

[AdamsSara]

@TheKize1617 Yes, although I've never tried myself. I've got some extra wide foil, and that has always been enough.

[chattycheese123]

cool!

[CirciSurfMusic]

pleaseeee can u do a tutorial on the rose in this vid?????

[CirciSurfMusic]

can u buy special foil for this??

[Filip49866]

i need a red and on the other side silver tissue foil paper with 60x60cm but i cant find so big tissue paper and foil

[Finward]

@Filip49866 Foil paper thickness is generally insignificant enough to allow you to paste several pieces of foil together with little tabs. Source: empirism.

[Finward]

@Filip49866 Tissue and foil paper thickness are insignificant enough in these first steps that pasting them together with tabs is usually a good option.

[MrEllinas21]

spray glue is good?

[xnemu]

superv!!! thnx  sara.

[sebi20202]

Where can I get this thin tissue paper ?

[RasyidNaufal]

that's alot of stuffs

[RasyidNaufal]

where did you buy the color

i don't have any in my country

[AdamsSara]

@RasyidNaufal You mean the colored tissue paper? I buy that in local stores, rather than online, but it's widely available both online and in many countries.

[alberticusmaximus]

she has a funny accent

[emeryt997]

could you list what ingredients because i can't understand that

[AdamsSara]

@emeryt997 Tissue, foil, masking tape, white glue, water and bowl to water down the glue, foam roller to apply the glue, glass surface - or any other surface that does not absorb water and that is flat; a roll to apply the tissue nicely

[CirciSurfMusic]

could you use PVA glue? if not any other glues i could use?

[AdamsSara]

@CirciSurfMusic Yes, PVA glue should work well.

[FluffernutterTeddyy]

Would elmers glue work?

[gamemeister27]

@FluffernutterTeddyy That is pretty much the standard white glue. Go for it.

[FluffernutterTeddyy]

@gamemeister27 thank you i will:)

[bernarya]

Hey AdamsSara im want to right down what i need so i can try this.

So can you send a message to me of what we need because i cant just listen to you and find out right a way

[AdamsSara]

@bernarya Sorry, I don't think it's asking too much to watch the first couple of minutes of the video to listen me tell you want you need.

[AAgony]

How would you go about making a big tissue paper? The model I'm trying to make specifies 50x50cm at least, and I haven't been able to find 50cm foil rolls.

[Jonbirnil]

@AAgony You can just use two long sheets of foil and glue them together in the edges. Works every time :)

[AdamsSara]

@Jonbirnil Exactly. :)

[oliwian21]

what kind of origami would you do with it?

please reply

ps. thank you for the video.

[AdamsSara]

@oliwian21 I like using tissue foil if I want a very specific combination of colors. Also, it's suitable for box pleating models, and boxes. Usually, though, I prefer working with pure paper, rather than with tissue foil - which has a non-paper (foil) component.

[jellybelly8562]

@oliwian21

[mobradovic00]

can i use tissue wraping paper(not the waxy one)

[AdamsSara]

@mobradovic00 Sorry, I don't know what kind of paper you exactly mean when saying tissue wrapping paper. It sounds like it will work. To be sure just try it out. :)

[gemadiktuz]

where do you get the tissue paper? please reply

[AdamsSara]

@gemadiktuz Ah, what you meant to ask is: where can you get tissue paper. :) While I haven't bought it from there, you can order tissue paper at Amazon. For example, they offer tissue paper from Pacon, I've bought other paper from Pacon and it's very high quality.

[gemadiktuz]

@AdamsSara  thanks

[gemadiktuz]

how old are you ???

[AdamsSara]

@gemadiktuz I'm 27.

[3xdavid]

did she say a stupid ruler like around 12:52 kind of weird

[AdamsSara]

@3xdavid A steel ruler.

[tpiardi]

Hi, great video.

Do you think I can use this paper to make Satoshi Kamiya Ryujin?

[AdamsSara]

@tpiardi Hum, I guess you could try. You'd have to make some really bug tissue foil, though. I haven't folded Ryujin yet, but I'd guess that something like double tissue would be more suitable. I may be wrong about that, though.

[500ITACHI]

good video¡¡¡¡,

[500ITACHI]

good video¡¡¡¡

[bonebreakboy]

I need your help, I went to a store and bought wallpaper glue, it said it dries transparently, but it was in powder... so I wonder what is the water-glue ratio in this situation?

[AdamsSara]

@bonebreakboy I use that kind of glue for my double tissue. I go for an egg-white like consistency. I'm not sure what the ratio is, sorry. It differs from product to product.

[marketfreshdude]

@Kholdster Thank you for giving me the idea to get spray-on glue it makes the tissue foil so nice. I tape the tissue and foil down, then I spray the foil and take off the tape and I put it on the way AdamsSara except opposite. My first couple tries came with air bubbles but I got good at it and started making very nice paper.

[AdamsSara]

@marketfreshdude Three comments just for the sake of others who want to try this.

1. Not all spray glues are good for this. For example, the one by Pattex is *not* good for making tissue foil.

2. When using spray glue you'll probably get thicker tissue foil than when using white glue. There's also a higher risk of getting thicker and thinner areas if you don't spray on the glue evenly.

3. Really important!!! If you want to use spray glue for this, work outside! It's toxic.

[nikskill3223]

can i use PVA glue?



[AdamsSara]

@nikskill3223 Yes, I believe PVA glue is suitable.

[NaykonBG]

The rose at the end is amazing! I've found the diagram and it looks pretty hard... I suppose you won't be willing to make a tutorial?

[AdamsSara]

@NaykonBG Willing? Maybe. Anytime soon (in the next half a year)? Don't think so.

I also haven't been in touch with Brian Chan yet, so I'm not even sure if I'd get permission.

[SMELLYOLDFEET]

i got the foil but where can i buy 50cm x 50cm tissue paper

[AdamsSara]

@SMELLYOLDFEET You mean online? You can try pacon(dot)com : Paper products > Tissue - they sell sheets of 20 inch by 30 inch (approx. 51cm by 76cm)

[Kholdster]

when I made my tissue foil I used spray on glue. (from an aerosol can) It worked perfectly.

[nikolaagov]

thank you so much I've been looking like for ever to find this thank you

[TheLovelypooh]

what the meaning of tissue foil? i don't understand that..

thanks for explaining :)

[AdamsSara]

@TheLovelypooh I don't understand your question. Why would you prepare tissue foil? It's a nice paper choice for some origami models, and you can create the colour combinations you like.

[yoyoguylol]

is this good for the miura ken beauty rose

[AdamsSara]

I don't know. I'm guessing foil isn't the best choice of paper for the A Miura-ken Beauty Rose, but I could be wrong.

[cReativejuice4all]

Great video with a awesome idead to simply make superb origami paper :).

Could you tell me some more examples of origami models with tissue foil papers?

[AdamsSara]

Just about any box-pleating model will profit from the characteristics of tissue foil.

[logi5000]

can you tell me where you found directions on that origami rose

[AdamsSara]

Tanteidan 12 has diagrams for the rose.

[The1handedmusicman]

this glue looks a lot like glue you use for wood, you can water down that too, it;s white and it dries transparent

[patrax123]

Great video thanks. =)

Now let's say i want an 80x80 cm square. How would you do that? i don's suppose that there are 80x80 tissue paper or foil is there?

[AdamsSara]

If you need larger sheets, one method is to overlap the edges slightly, and then apply MC to glue the two sheets of tissue paper together. The paper will be a bit thicker on the overlap, but it seems to have worked for others. With foil I'd guess that you don't need to overlap, just ensure that there's no gap.

Some people also tape sheets together. In that case it's probably good to study the crease pattern first to determine where tape will not show in the finished model.

[patrax123]

Thanks =)

I just subscribed

[Furutal]

great video doesnt look to hard..

anyway does anyone know where i can order like 30x30 origami paper on the internet?? thanks!

(the green and red paper are both tissue paper right)

[AdamsSara]

The green and red paper are tissue paper, yes. As to where you can get larger sheets of origami paper online, try origami-shop(dot)com

[PauliusChemLT]

Hi Sara. What kind of glue was that? i mean the name of, Metylan ..... ? thanks :)

[PauliusChemLT]

Oh, i found out - It's Metylan Ovalit right?

[AdamsSara]

Yes, that's the brand I use.

[yoyoguylol]

how can you order the glue

[AdamsSara]

I don't know, I just went to a hardware store. You should get that sort of glue at any decently sized hardware store, I think. Of course there will be other brands depending on the country...

[AdamsSara]

If I sold a sheet (say 48cm square) for 50 cents, that wouldn't even cover my material costs. :p

I don't think I'll ever start selling paper. But with this video hopefully you can make your own tissue foil.

[MegaRandomvideos123]

wow! thank you! Ifinally have some paper to fold with!

:3

[ktchong1987]

Hi Sara,  This might be a stupid question =D where can I get those so called "tissue paper"? Are they sell in flowery shop or else? Which is slightly transparent? I don't know is that the same to yours, because I don't really think they're very thin.

[AdamsSara]

You can find tissue paper in many craft stores. It is really quite thin and soft.The paper weight is usually around 20gsm (where office paper has 4 times that weight or more). Hope this helps.

[connoli100]

omg this is amazing and so is that rose you are amazing

[HomoCyborgZombie]

I'm going to have to try that D:

I've been using regular printing paper all the time, even with Satoshi Kamiya's work, and they all don't... turn out the best. ;<

But with this, thank you, it makes it a lot easier. <3

[speedstakerguy]

Did you make the square stencils yourself? i have troubles making perfect squares :P

[AdamsSara]

The smaller ones come from origami packs. They often have a cardboard backing, and I just kept those. The big one (shown in the double tissue video) I got in a hardware store - simply ask them to cut some press board to the size you like. I've also cut a hexagon stencil from some cardboard, and it's close enough. In the end, it's worth putting some effort into a stencil, because it will save lots of work afterwards.

[speedstakerguy]

Ooo Thank you very much! this will help so much..

[MOSpr0ductz]

Where do you get your tissuepaper?

[AdamsSara]

Most arts and crafts stores hold tissue paper. In Germany they're usually sold in rectangles and folded once or twice. In England I found rolls of tissue paper.

[encore451]

do you have a video showing how to make the rose you show at the end?

[AdamsSara]

No, I don't. It's a rose by Brian Chan.

[ilikepie11891]

wow thanks. i never thought i could i put all my tissue paper to such good use.
