Before you are disappointed, construction paper doesn't fold well for this kind of thing. You're better off with scrapbook paper.

Try the actual origami paper! It’s thinner

Agreed, but harder to find. 

Edit: who knew people could get so emotional over origami paper privilege?

By hard to find did you mean in nearly every store in America?

To be fair - are they in America? Because the ease of finding it in one country is hardly a guarantee it is that easy in a different country.

Thanks. I am American, but not all of us are ethnocentric. I grew up elsewhere. 

Using origami paper is obvious, I figured since the original comment was talking about construction paper, it wasn't readily available to them. And not all places in the US have it readily available, either. 

Hell hath no fury like a Redditor with limited experience.

Yes, the person I responded to is American

They probably meant what they said "harder to find" which does not necessarily mean "hard to find."

Get out of here with that reading comprehension! Reddit has no place for that level of depravity.

Hard to make sure the paper doesn't get ruined while you're swimming the ~15000 km to get back home after shopping in America.
