In this video, I am sharing pieces I've made and two different folding methods I've learned so far.
The book that got me started is The Art of Decorative Paper Stencils by Kanoako Yaguchi. It's out of print, but there are used copies available on Amazon and at Abe Books. PLEASE NOTE: the instructions in the book only cover four-fold motifs, not six-fold. There are no true snowflakes (with six points) in the book.

I buy these Elizabeth Ward bead trays on Amazon*. The prices for these trays seem to fluctuate wildly. I've bought the 82 piece tray for as low as $25 and I've seen it priced as high as $47. I have no problem paying around $30, but in my opinion, anything over $40 is too high. If the prices seem high, just watch them for a bit and they'll likely come back down.
82 piece tray - amzn.to/3odFwmU
45 piece tray - amzn.to/3oeGEXt
Tray only - amzn.to/3ohlXtQ (Containers are also sold in sets to design your own tray.)
There also seem to be some new knock-off trays by YTSTYLE on Amazon that look almost just like the Elizabeth Ward trays. I have only purchased and used the original Elizabeth Ward brand trays, so I cannot vouch for the quality or performance of any other brand of bead storage trays.

Notes:
@ 14:00 - The Juki stitches up 1,500 stitches per minute, not 10K.
@ 14:30 - I said my father-in-law WAS a jeweler. I should have said HE IS a retired jeweler because he's still with us and is an amazing artist.
