For the lotus in the photos I used Japanese metallic/shimmery paper from Japan, it is quite thin, but stands up well to the tugging more than very thin origami paper, another good option would be washi origami paper, or chiyogami paper.

is the rubber band necessary?
I think so, it would be pretty hard without it anyway.. could use a little thread… not sure if it will stay together if you cut it off after.
Awesome
