Any paper of sufficient length will do, but try to use paper that is at least 20 inches. Newsprint or butcher paper works fine if you want to decorate it yourself. Part of the joy for me, however, is finding some fine or exotic paper to use. I picked up these samples at De Medici Ming Fine Paper on 1st and University across from the Seattle Art Museum. They've been selling beautiful papers from all over the world from their shop for 25 years now.

Cut a 5 1/2" wide strip of paper, then accordion fold it. There are any number of ways to do this, from a simple accordion fold to more complex mountain and valley folds. I will try to pull together either some instructions or some links for you.
