Can I use some kind of wrapping paper?

The one I got for my bday two days ago is REALLY thick so I'm afraid I wont able to fold it after some time...

Answer please!

@mobradovic00 I've folded with wrapping paper many a times - but not all wrapping paper is suitable for folding. Try to stay away from plasticy paper, as well as paper with a glossy surface. Try to find something that feels more like paper, and especially try to fold with something that is a bit crisp (vs soft). As to thickness - yes, this model is better folded with thinner paper. Having said that, I'm folding with wrapping paper in this video, too, and it's not super thin.

What kind of paper are you using? thank you

[AdamsSara]

@marvel2326 I am using wrapping paper, more specifically Kraft paper. It's widely available in Germany.

I wonder if it's possible to make a super-detailed version with a larger paper, with a a bigger grid? I might try that... :)
