REALLY huge need of paper

Post by violist »

Hello,
does anybody know where can I buy really big sheets of paper? Something like packing paper 2-3m x 5m. The biggest I can get for now is only a meter wide and that's too small if i'd like to make, for example, a 1:1 scale Kawahata Yoda :D
Also I'd be glad if someone from Poland could advice me here - I'd rather not order and pay extra for shipping abroad some paper sheets :P

Maybe wallpaper comes in those sizes. Although I'm not sure it will be foldable.

Here in America I have been able to get gigantic paper from a set shop (prop materials for plays/shows). Surely there are theater materials in other countries. Good luck! - Marc

What about advertising posters? The large ones measure 4 m x 3 m, so you could get a 3 m x 3 m square out of it (even though it is now often 2 sheets of 4 m x 1.5 m around here - but I don't know about Poland...)

Your best bet might be to contact Origami USA , because they use large sheets for folding contests at most yearly conventions. They would be able to advise where to purchase.
Possibly the Poland origami society may be able to advise as well .
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .
