pacon
Is this pack of pacon paper squares, double sided or colour on one side and white on the other.
By the way which do you prefer?
Same color on both sides
The Pacon paper squares have the same color on both sides. One side is slightly more shiny, the other a bit rougher. For videos I usually use paper that has a different color on each side. When I fold for myself it depends on the model. If the model has no duo effect, I actually prefer paper that has the same color on both sides. At the same time, for first folds I usually prefer paper that has a white side, so that I can follow the diagrams more easily (they often shade the colored side).

Hi
Hi, it's me Yulinda and I'm from Indonesia. (you can search for Indonesia in the map or Wikipedia.org, since it's soooo far away from your country, it's from another continent...)
So, I just found out about this website maybe 2 years ago, when I got hooked to origami. My parents used to give me a lot of origami paper (sadly, Indonesian origami paper is bad, worse than wrapping paper), so I've been taught about origami since kindergarten. The first time I know about types of origami paper, and another way to make origami paper (really, that "How To Make Tissue Foil" is really interesting! I gave origami "The Last Waltz" with that paper to my friend, and she was thrilled!), is from your blog. When I saw this, I wonder If I can really have someone sending me an origami paper, and from another continents. I was thrilled even to think about it! I thought it will be cool. And maybe, we can exchange our origami and share more about origami.
And I thought, it is very nice of you to send origami papers to your viewers. I am sure you are very generous, since not all paper are cheap, right?
Regards,
Yulinda
Worth of a pack
I'd estimate the pack to be worth about 20 USD. So yes, not all papers in there are cheap. :)

Hi Sara, It's me again. Well,
Hi Sara,
It's me again. Well, nowadays I'm interested in tracing paper. I cut them into squares and colour it, then I fold it into many Kawasaki Roses. It's really cute! Since the paper is pretty translucent, we can almost see the creases we've made. But it's still cute, anyway. Well, because there's no translucent paper in Indonesia, that's why I use tracing paper and then colouring it with acrylic paint. It looks nicer that way, somehow. Well, if you have natural paper, we have cute-patterned paper. Some of them patterned with flowers, dots, and fruits. But it's as thick as printing paper. Would you like to try it?
Regards,
Yulinda
What a wonderful giveaway
Hi,
So wonderful video. Your folding videos are so great .
It's a big hope i could win some of the papers .
It's me.... again
Hi Sara, it is Joe... again
I hope I am not annoying you.
My comments were the ones that were sent at 4 April 2011 10:06 PM and 5 April 2011 4:32 PM.
It is just that everybody is sending in such good comments I think to even have a chance I should tell you a bit more about myself.
so as you already know (or as I hope!) I am 11 and am from Ireland.
I haven't been doing origami for very long but am seriously hooked!
The way it all started for me was my big brother (Conor) borrowed an origami book from a friend and I have been addicted ever since!
My special interests in origami are tessellations, modulars/boxes and insects.
I am not really a designer but I have invented a few weird models like my batman.
My favourite designers are Jeremy Shafer, Robert J.Lang and Tomoko Fuse.
So I guess that is it, again really hoping to get that paper.
Yours Joe
Hello Sara! You're in my
Hello Sara! You're in my favorites for more than two years, and since then I always visit your channel every day. I am a lover of Origami, I do it from 7 years old, and you helped me in learning. I do not have much access to purchase paper I use any paper to make my Origamis, so PLEASE pick me!
PS: When I say "any paper" I'm not cursing the paper because the paper before it was a beautiful tree, which provide oxygen, so I will make a precious use of it. Let's stop deforestation in excess!!
your work has really inspired
your work has really inspired me so much that i am on the computer for hours looking at videos and i am only in 5th grade! I LOVE your videos and i love the snowflake one and i made like 20 of them for my class and i really like to see more of your video. lately my parent are busy and i dont get to go to the store to buy the paper so i would really like to win the giveaway and i think dont think i would. it would really help alot. also i am doing bigger things in origami and even made the effel tower! as i have said u inspired me and really hope i get 1 n i love u so i hope theres not 2 many people lol. bye happy folding
Hello Sara
Hello Sara!
I am a big fan of your videos, because you are making hard things easy.
Actually, in Latvia, i can't get any kind of origami paper. And my parents don't like to use a credit card in internet, so i will be very happy even about the cheapest kind of paper.
if you need closer information, i will contact you in YouTube. My acc-solden777
You channel is awesome
I want the papers ,they are fantastic!!!!!!
Very nice website!
I just wanted to tell you that I really like your videos, and I check occasionally for updates. I have both a youtube channel and a website, like you do. Anyway, keep up the good wok!!!!!!
beloved papers
Would be nice to get some to test it. Very nice package...
and very nice website. Thanx for the inspirations!!!
Greetings
C.K.

Paper!!
Yay!! I would absolutely love a sample of this paper!! Thanks so much for doing this for us!
nice!
I love plethoras of paper! it would be awesome if i got those :)
Christmas in april? :)
Quite good pack?! It's really very good and generous pack! Some of the papers I've only seen in the picture and told myself it's too expensive. I am very curious about double tissue paper made by you (I didn't try yet to make it by myself) and this mysterious pacon paper.
In the end I had to check the date of your post if it wasn't just april fool day's joke ;)
I think paper lovers from all over the world come to your website now... Hm, thank you for this!
:) Dasa
April Fools
Ah, perhaps I am the fool. :) I never expected this to get so popular!
You're right that some quite expensive paper is in that pack (e.g. Deluxe Washi is 3 EUR per sheet, ad each pack will have one full sheet in it), but some of it is also relatively cheap - and great to fold with. In particular, the Pacon paper is cheap and one of my favorites.

Paper
Sara,
it's about 2 years ago I discovered tesselations and also your page with all of those so helpfull videos. I made some progress since: I'm going to have a little exibition with workshop end of may.
My passion: tesselations. I'm planing to do one part of the workshop on tesselations.
I have been buying some books lately from origamishop.com and was deciding on which paper I was going to choose next. So nice you're sharing your experince about paper. It's so difficult to choose without beeing able to tuch.I'm very much interested in elephanthide.For me your coments are almost as good as receiving some of your sheets. There seem to be lots of people that cannot get nice paper easily.
Do you know the "origamido" from origamishop.com? Chantal
Origami paper giveaway
Hi Sara,
This my first time posting a comment so here it goes...
My name is Joe and I am 11 years old.
I live in Ireland and am absolutely crazy about origami!
I have been folding since 2008 and enjoy origami immensely.
I am very keen to get that paper because it will help me fold more complex models,
(I have already folded the Scorpion by Tadashi Mori, Jack in the Box by Hugo Pereira and
Tarantula by Robert J. Lang so I think I am O.K at origami.)
So again I would love to get that paper, Thanks =)
(p.s. your origami videos are the best on youtube!)
I want those!
Hi Sara! I love your videos I always make origami from dull white copy paper because the only kind of paper I get here is 15cm squares.the colors aren't even good. I was hoping that you give some of them to me. Oh and btw I live in India so not many people are intrested in origami. I am 14 years old and I am allowed to give my address to you =D you're brilliant I love your videos

Unboxing
Do you still have the unboxing footage? If so, could you add it as a separate video? I would love to see it! If not or if it is too long I understand, I still got so see lots of great paper here. Thanks!
Did you mean to take part in the giveaway?
Another question, did you mean to state with this comment you want to take part in the giveaway?
If so, please leave another comment and specify your email address. If I have no way of contacting you, I fear you cannot take part. Note that the email address will not be public, but only visible to me.
-- Sara
Taking part
I actually already e-mailed you so I didn't add it, but just in case here is my e-mail. I didn't want to accidentally cheat and be counted twice. :)
Thanks for clarifiying
Ah, ok. :)
I can't tell by the names, I believe there are a couple of other people out there called "Grace". ;) Thankfully, email addresses are unique, so I can easily distinguish entries - and remove duplicates. :)
-- Sara
Indeed
Yes, Grace is not a common name, but I am sure there is more than one. :) Thanks!
Unboxing
Hm, I'll think about it. But right now I'm too busy processing all these replies. :)
I think the unboxing might not be so long, but I talked too much about the paper for the giveaway. ;) I'll have to view the recording again to check, though.
-- Sara
Wow, Sara, you're generosity
Wow, Sara, you're generosity is amazing!! I have been following your website for some time now and marvel are your videos and your hard work that you share with us. I love your tesselation vidoes and more complex models. I would love to get those beautiful papers as I cannot find them here. I'm unable to order papers over seas and have yet to find resources for most of the better papers here in Canada so I would be extremely excited and most appreciative to recieve your giveaway. Best of luck to everyone.
And Sara, thanks for a wonderful surprise, we just got home from celebrating my daughter's birthday and she went to say hello to all her online friends, I came here to see what you had in store for us. Thank you, perfect end to a wonderful day.
I'm Interested!
I would love these papers! SOOO nice! Thankyou for giving us a chance to win the beautiful papers! :)
Paper Giveaway
Such a nice assortment. Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing models and techniques.
Love your website content
For the past several months I have really enjoyed following your website. Your instructional videos are by far the best, and I can't wait to find out what model is next. The paper reviews are also helpful because it is so hard to get a hold of them and feel them.
Way to go and thank you so much for all of your hard work and for giving away such a wonderful pack of papers!
Happy Folding to you as well!!
