That's not a lot. I've folded models with 32.

UM... ok...

12 SHEETS!!!!!!! I don't have that!
Thanks
Dear Sara,
thanks a lot for your site and this video in particular.
Here is my work from copy paper. http://picasaweb.google.com/Filatov.Sergey/Origami#5501115036970928594
Well done
That's a very good rendition, especially given that you used normal copy paper! Most other attempts I've seen from copy paper didn't have as clean curved folds as you did. :)

copy paper is fine
Hi Sara, and thanks for all your videos.
I folded this model from copy paper only (80gsm), with 5x5cm squares. It is very sturdy so I think there is no need for a thicker paper if you want a small model. However I am not sure whether it will be strong enough it I start with larger squares.
Keep on folding :)

Weight and paper size
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the smaller the modules you make, the less heavy the paper can be. It's always a balance between weight and size. :)
Also, through this message I got aware of your Flickr page. I'll have to give that a try. Any paper recommendations there?

Not really, almost all the
Not really, almost all the models on my Flickr page were folded from copy paper :)

Why can't you design a model and make a video of it
Own designs
I have designed a model, but haven't made a video on it. Why? Well, one reason is that others have designed much better models than me. :)
However, I do plan to make a video on how to fold my eagle. I'm just not sure when yet.

do you think it would be
do you think it would be possible to make small ones out of business cards or r business cards 2 thick?
Give it a try
The best answer I can give, and probably my most common answer I give to the questions I get asked is:
Just give it a try. Probably just making one module or unit will be enough to judge whether it's doable, or at least worth making 6 units.
Also, the paper used for business cards can differ by quite a lot, so it'd be a difficult question to answer in any case.

Hello Sara Would it be okay
Hello Sara
Would it be okay if I used 160 gsm paper?
Sure
Yes, I'd say anything from 150gsm should be ok. If you check http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-guth-jump you'll notice I actually folded a model from 80gsm paper in combination with 170gsm paper. I personally prefer the model folded from heavier paper than that, but if you use 160gsm for all modules, that will already be heavier than what I used for that particular rendition. :)

Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the great tutorial and explanation, Sara. I managed to finish this before my father's birthday. :)
Cool
Great to hear this. Hope he liked it!

jump model
Hi Sara i folded the jump model with normal, thin white-face origami paper and that worket reallly well. By the way i really like the model i have aldready folded 3 of it! :)
Sara i folded this with tant
Sara i folded this with tant paper and it's quite stable so printer paper would probably do but i'm very sure because as you know tant has totally another quality
Printer paper vs tant
Hm, tant is very strong paper, I'd be quite reluctant to compare it to printer paper. :) However, you are right, maybe it does work well with printer paper. I don't think it will have the same finish, though.

More units
Could you use more peices of paper to make a larger model? Or would that not work?
More Modules to build Jump objects
It's definitly possible! At the 'Origami Deutschland 2010' convention a folder showed me the jump object as truncated cube object. As far as i remeber he used 24 two piece moduls. He used heavy weight transparent x-ray foil. I was really surprised, so i did not make a photo nor i rember the name of this folder
