Review on Aitoh Origami Marbling Kit - Create Stunning Designs with 12 ml (Pack of 6) by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy, economical and beautiful crafts for kids!

This is a great and easy set for making marbles and I plan to use it for my after school library work. A small amount of ink goes a long way, so you can really stretch your budget! I purchased the 100 sheet rice paper bags that Revain offered in the Buy Together kit and was very pleased with the vibrant colors I received. However, I ran various tests with different types of paper to see the difference. I've tried Bristol Smooth Surface drawing paper and found that the drawings on it are really very light, even after trying to remove the glue manually by rubbing it under running water. The rice paper was a much lighter color so I'm planning to use it with my kids. Wet rice paper makes it brittle so I have them fold the sheet in half and treat it like a sheet of paper - this seems to solve the brittleness problem. See my photos for examples of different things I've tried.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other sets
