What ratio or proportion is the paper?

[AdamsSara]

@joshovideos It's 3 by 1 - after cutting off the thin strip, the ratio is 2 7/8 by 1.

Sara,where can i get that paper your using and the size?,thanks!

[AdamsSara]

@marvel2326 I used wrapping paper (Kraft paper) in this video. It's widely available in Germany, and actually of a nice quality for folding. I know that the paper isn't as available in other countries, but perhaps you can see whether some of the wrapping paper that's available where you live is also good for folding.

@Origamisarah Sorry I have no clue what happened but my brother went on my accoun and went crazy or something. He must've posted that.
