Cheap paper
Cheap paper
Hi there,
I have a bursting passion for complex origami However, I am only 13 years old, and cannot afford the expensive paper online. Does anyone know any cheap paper suitable for insects that could be found easily in most art stores? I was using tracing paper, but it is too thin and makes the model rather flimsy. If anybody could help me, that would be great!
Thanks,
Justin

I'm pretty sure the art stores in uruguay list different articles like in india, canada, germany, belarus or japan.

Re: Cheap paper
Another name for it is wallpaper paste. It can be found in most home improvement stores (Example: Home Depot, Lowes, or something similar). Many art suppliers/craft stores sell wallpaper paste as well.

Re: Cheap paper
you should really be carefull since not all wallpaper paste necessarily contain methyl cellulose (mc). it should but you should keep an extra eye onto it.

I have found an art store nearby that sells pure MC, and has Thai Unryu, and a bunch of other awesome paper

Re: Cheap paper
this wallpaper glue is 100% mc
http://www.metylan.de/Metylan-normal.2734.0.html
but only the "Methylan normal"... other glues can contain fungicides and other ingredients next to mc.
