NEW Origami Paper!Our latest delivery of origami paper is particularly gorgeous! Each pack contains 60 sheets (15cm x 15cm) of top quality origami paper, in 3 designs (so, 20 sheets of each design!
At only £4 a pack, they can be used as a refill for our KUSUDAMA and ORIGAMI kits - what a fab present that would be for a Japan/craft enthusiast!
There is even a typically mis-translated instruction on the back of the pack "no horseplay with the folded paper". We can't imagine what they mean!!!

"The fat quarters have arrived, and are just right. Thank you very much for the trouble you went to - I appreciate it" G.R, 12 April 2012
We stock many beautiful, 100% cotton fabrics in Japanese designs, but we can't put them on the website because they sell out too quickly! To ensure a fantastic selection, we often only buy one bolt of each design. Each week we give talks, workshops and attend shows, and our 'fat quarters' (50cm x 56cm pieces) are loved by quilters, sewists and crafters everywhere we go!
So, we would like to introduce our FREE, no-obligation FABRIC PICKING SERVICE!
You tell us what colours/designs you would like, then we pick 12-16 fat quarters and send you a picture of them (the above image is a recent example). If there are any you would like to buy, tell us and we will send you a Paypal invoice. Our beautiful fat quarters are just £10 for 4, plus £2 P&P which can be combined with other items from this website.
To take advantage of this service, please email your requirements to katie@japancrafts.co.uk
