Kraft paper
Yesterday I saw Kraft paper on sale for $1.00. I have heard of it used in origami, but what is it like ? If its good I'll go buy a ton of it.

Kraft paper is strong, and keeps a crease well.
But do you know the weight of the paper offered? There are many
kinds of Kraft paper. You need to get a thinner kind
for the more complex models.

combined with aluminium foil, it's nearly perfect for folding
I once got a biiiiig role of 37g kraftpaper for a song.
as said before, there are many kinds of kraftpaper (in weight and quality). you should give it a try, and if you like it you can buy the rest
good kraftpaper is good for complex folding, because it hardly tears, even when folding insects or other complex stuff.
