Step 1 List of Supplies

Luckily, the art of origami is not an expensive hobby to have. All you need for supplies are:
             1) A square sheet of paper.
             2) A hard surface.

*You can purchase square sheets of oragami paper with beautiful designs at any crafts store. Usually these sheets are very colorful and come in many different themed designs. Or you can make your own square sheet from leftover rectangular paper. If you make your own square sheet, you can color or draw you own personal designs.
             
*You need a hard surface so you can fold good, clean creases into the paper. Clean creases are important for further steps down the road. Always fold clean creases unless instructed otherwise.
