A Book of Origami Designs With Magical Effects

A collaborative effort by the r/d100 community. The original post can be found here:

I introduced it to my campaign as a reward for an adventure in a Demiplane of Paper, the premise being a powerful witch either created or collected these designs in books that have a limited set of enchanted papers keyed to their respective designs, giving the GM some latitude about how many figures their players could create. More complex designs would require practice and might even have a chance of failing. My suggestion is that some books can only be attempted after they successfully create x number of simpler origami figures. I roughly placed the books with more powerful diagrams closer to the end of the list. Alternatively, you could have your players discover a box with a semi-random assortment of already completed origami figures.
