All sorts of paper can be used for origami, as long as it is not to thick.
I have used coulored A4-paper many times formaking flowers. In my country it is sold in many
shops and the are many different colors to
choose from.
Sometimes, I use present paper, but it is a bit
difficult to cut a square piece of paper out of it.
I made the patterns for these papers myself by
using pictures of real flowers and animals.
I edited the pictures with a computer-programm
to get nice patterns to fold with.
I print these patterns on high quality copy-paper.
I also like to use origami-paper sometimes. It is
very thin paper and nice to fold with.
