The Origami Forum

I'm deciding on doing this Yellow jacket and hope if I can get some help. First thing, can I use foil paper for it or no ?

I'm assuming you're using the diagrams in the Origami Masters: Bugs book. As for foil paper, what size? What type of foil paper? (Tissue foil, Japanese foil, etc.)

Langs yellow jacket could be folded from foil....but it would have to be pretty large paper. (at least 60cm) to produce a nice result. i personally would suggest NOT using foil and folding from something super thin and strong. that way your paper doesnt have to be so large. i folded mine using 25*25 cm baking paper. i wouldnt suggest that for your first fold either...as some of the molecules are pretty complex and can benefit from larger paper. but anything between 35-50 cm should work nicely.
