well, there's this as first on the google. http://www.artcity.com/yas-4254.html
But a number of the pictures I've seen involve wrapping paper. Not ideal, I suppose, but reasonably thin, with some strength to it, and you can cut it to quite some size. Like... It seems that an average roll of wrapping paper is 30" by 240", or in that vicinity. So that's 8 30x30 inch squares, and those are pretty big. I'd think that's big enough for most of what you're looking for. Beyond that, if you're thinking about going to go to all the trouble of making your own, and all the trouble, inconsistency, and thickness that that includes, I'd go with this

And figure that that'll be decent. At 24" wide and 65 feet long, you're looking at 32 two foot squares for just over five bucks. A little stiff, maybe, but not too bad, if you're going to be making things that need to bear up under their own weight. Personally, I tend towards modular origami, so my problem is finding places that'll sell me hundreds of sheets of paper without having to pay hundreds of dollars.
I found a place in El Cerrito, CA called Ichiban Kan that's got cheap 15cm papers - a dollar for a pack of 300.
If anyone wants to share some modular books, I'd be grateful. The ones in /rs/ aren't bad, but they're not really good, either.
