Material

The sloth has a lot of layers of paper on top of each other. Becaus of this I recommend some Kami , special origami paper, that is a little thinner than printer paper. I use 15cm time 15cm Origami Paper in the Video. You can buy a big pack of 500 shets online or in crafting stores for about 15$.
