How to fold Wearable Origami Glasses from one square of paper. I designed this model to wear for my costume as the origami nerd in the intro to my Flasher Sword tutorial which I published here: https://youtu.be/AnPEuTlp4hY
These glasses are much easier to fold from foil origami paper, but they can be folded from kami, especially if you employ wet folding technique where you put paper clips on the model to hold it together and then dunk it in water and set it out in the sun to dry. After it's completely dry, take of the paper clips and you paper glasses will hold together very well. I did not use this technique on the glasses that I folded in this tutorial and I was still able to use them for the intro of my Flasher Sword tutorial.
Where can you buy large origami foil??? Well here's someone who sells (laminated-by-hand) tissue foil for complex origami projects: https://www.etsy.com/shop/UnfoldedStories It would certainly work like a charm for this model, and obviously for more complex models as well.
For a large roll of good quality origami foil (not handmade) here is what I found:
Hygloss Products Metallic Foil Paper Gift Wrap Roll Dark Blue 26-Inch x 25-Feet - 54 Sq. ft. Total
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044S5JQE?th=1
Here's the review for it I left on Amazon:
"Origamists rejoice! This paper is totally tubular! Five Stars! I bought this foil paper to see if it would ok to recommend to my origami audience (YouTube), and it certainly passed my folding test which included folding my Surfer on Wave model (see attached video). It's a little thicker than Japanese origami foil, but I actually like that more for big models because it's not as floppy. That said, the Surfer on a Wave folded from this size (26-inch square), was still too floppy for the action mechanism to work properly, but that's not the paper's fault. If I had cut it to a smaller square I'm certain it would have worked perfectly. This foil was able to withstand my stress test of reversing a crease 40 times...the blue stayed intact at the crease. So, origamiwise I give it an A+ "
