homemade paper instructions

I read in a book today a way to make some homemade origami paper- here is the little bit of instructions on it:

need:
tissue paper
glue/adhesive
aluminum/tin foil
ruler or other flat straight edge


Take the tissue paper and coat it with adhesive on both sides. It could be spray adhesive or what not. Sandwich it in between two pieces of tin foil and flatten to stick. Allow time to dry and viola.

I also read that having a set of tweezers is a good thing to have around when you are doing origami for negotiating folds. As well as a popsicle stick for flattening and such.
