Preparation of an origami paper

Recommendation

【Size】
a 26x26cm paper or it is bigger than 26cm.

【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper



I drew lines at 0.2cm from each edge so that the paper is changed to 25.8×25.8cm.

After drawing lines, cut the paper along lines that you have drawn.

After cutting the paper, draw lines while referencing this picture.

Divide the paper in six horizontally and vertically.

If your paper is 25.8×25.8cm, the side of each square is 4.3cm.
If your paper is 24x24cm, the side of each square is 4cm.
