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.

Hmm, I'll have to go buy a roll
. I'm not sure what weight it is
,but it was made by the people who make duct tape. I'll let you know how it turns out.
