50 Sheets Skytone Paper
Skytone is my absolute favorite paper for tessellations. It's crisp, reverses creases easily, and is hard to put a hole in, unlike Tant. It only comes in light shades, which are great for backlighting, and it has a variety of nice colors.
My students agree that this is the best paper for tessellations too since it can really take a beating while learning a new pattern, you can print a crease pattern on the paper with your printer at home, and it's more affordable than other common tessellation papers like Elephant Hide or Tant.
This pack contains 50 sheets of 19x12.5 inch Skytone of various colors (natural, white, blue, natural cream, as stock allows).
This size is what I use for the vast majority of my own tessellations and you can get one large shape (either square or hexagon) and two smaller shapes out of each sheet (hexagon templates really help with this). I've found that I can reliably cut through 5 sheets at a time using the templates, and you can also take these sheets to a local print shop to get them all cut square at once.
If you'd like to get hexagon templates and folding tools along with your paper, check out the full pack option.
SHIPPING TIP: Up to three sets of 50 sheets of Skytone fit in a single package and will ship for the same amount as one set of 50 sheets.
COLOR CHOICE: If you really want a certain color (or set of colors), leave a note at checkout and I'll do my best to get you that color.
