For everyone, the New Year becomes a special holiday, both for adults and children. The anticipation of the holiday is better than the holiday itself, especially when you spend time on interesting preparations. The usual traditional decorations migrate from the box to the interior from year to year. But you can also add variety to the organization of the holiday by practicing origami.

Paper crafts are great for parents whose children go to school or kindergarten. After all, they probably assign such homework there. Such crafts will take part in an exhibition, decorate the house, and play a responsible role in gifts for grandparents.
Origami for beginners
The art of paper figures, in fact, we remember from school, when we learned to make tulips or airplanes from a sheet of paper. Nowadays, this hobby has already acquired a wider scale and has acquired roots in Japan under the name "origami". The name is complicated, but the execution is easier than ever. Even children can handle it, and for adults, this is one of the activities for relaxation and variety in life. Origami will help with the development of creative talents, develops logic and motor skills, and develops patience and perseverance.
Origami material
It would seem that nothing could be simpler, because the main material for origami is paper. But in order for the activity to please, and not depress, it is better to listen to the main recommendations for choosing paper.
Tip #1.
You can use special sets for creativity, which are sold in the store. The advantage of such paper: it is thinner than office paper, and often one side is already painted in some color or pattern. An ideal option for crafts.
Tip #2.
If you take regular colored paper, you should consider its minus. On the folds you get white stripes, which are not always desirable for some types of crafts.
Tip #3.
Colored office paper is better in quality than regular colored paper, but is much more expensive.
Tip #4.
If you plan to make origami in a single color or paint it by hand, you can use wrapping paper. The advantage is that it is quite durable, bends well, and you can buy any size and quantity.
Tip #5.
For crafts that require cutting and gluing the model, it is better to choose thin cardboard. When applying the drawing yourself, it will last for a long time. But if you print the drawing, it is better to choose thick office paper.
In addition to paper, other items are also needed for paper crafts.
Glue.
Usually, glue is not used in origami, but if you need to insure against accidental unbending of parts, then it is very necessary. Regular PVA or glue stick will cope with this task. Experienced craftsmen recommend an adhesive mass that is similar to plasticine. It is convenient because it does not leave marks. Easy to use. A piece of mass should be rolled out in your hands and applied to the part.
Paints.
For crafts that require coloring, it is better to choose watercolors.
Scissors.
Sharp scissors with long and short blades will help you cut both large and small parts without any problems.
Stationery knife.
For cutting thick cardboard or paper.
Ruler.
For smooth curves.
Simple pencil.
To apply markings or templates, use paper.
