Supply List
Here is a website that I will be using but there might be more later added. I am always looking for new projects. Student will need paper! The best shape for the paper is 6 in. by 6 in. squares. Please prep paper before class. You can use recycled paper, construction paper, etc. Amazon and Walmart both have origami paper for a reasonable price as well. It's up to you and your imagination.
