i like to draw playing cards folded in weird ways. but i just have to make up how it would look in my head, and guess. is there any origami that would be possible with a playing card? so that i could use it as an actual reference? that would be cool.


playing cards are typically 3½ × 2½ inches

Actually folding a normal playing card into even some basic shapes would most likely be tough shit because they tend to be rather fat. But why not take inspiration from candy paper origamis, for example, the size is about right

i agree the fatness of cards is one of their great weaknesses.

You could print a standard deck of playing cards on a thinner stock of paper, they must make printable origami paper. But yeah it would look awesome bro

i would definitely try printing on some plain white origami paper (even standard office paper might work), but would the print quality be as high as playing cards? in my experience even newer inkjet and laser printers have a fuzziness with finer details.

are your work going to be thoroughly examined by some fine-detail aficionados with magnifying glasses and tight asses? if not, modern printers can produce excellent quality and there is nothing to worry.
>fuzziness with finer details
bitch that is not a thing with modern printers, literally professional print shop quality that is more than fine for goofing around playing cards origami shapes and patterns
