The first an for most tools you definitely going to have to fold origami or any papercraft obviously is paper or paper like material. Almost any laminar (flat) material can be used for folding; the only requirement is that it should hold a crease.
Paper used for origami can range from the very simple and easily
available Printer Paper to the specially designed Origami Paper and here are some of it that mostly use in paper folding:
Origami paper, often referred to as "kami" (Japanese for paper), commonly sold in bookstore in small pack, usually squares of various sizes ranging from 2.5 cm (1 in) to 25 cm (10 in) or more. It is commonly colored on one side and white on the other; however, dual
coloured and patterned versions exist and can be used effectively for
color-changed models. Origami paper weighs slightly less than copy
paper, making it suitable for a wider range of models.
Normal copy paper with weights of 70–90 g/m2 can be used for simple folds, such as the crane and waterbomb.
Foil-backed paper is a sheet of thin foil glued to
a sheet of thin paper. Related to this is tissue foil, which is made by
gluing a thin piece of tissue paper to kitchen aluminium foil.
A second piece of tissue can be glued onto the reverse side to produce a
tissue/foil/tissue sandwich. Foil-backed paper is available
commercially, but not tissue foil; it must be handmade. Both types of
foil materials are suitable for complex models.
Washi
is the traditional origami paper used in Japan. Washi is generally
tougher than ordinary paper made from wood pulp, and is used in many
traditional arts. Washi is commonly made using fibres from the bark of
the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub or the paper mulberry but can also be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat.
Paper money from various countries is also popular to create origami
with; this is known variously as Dollar Origami, Orikane, and Money
Origami.
However origami as an art which use a lot of paper and does not deem it to be environment
friendly. Keeping in mind the importance of trees for our environment, try to minimize the wastage of paper and make sincere efforts to fold
the designs of Origami with previously USED PAPER, unless you are doing
it for a professional purpose.
Please share this and save our environment.
Happy folding.
