![]() The money origami shirt and tie on this page is a little tricker to make than the I carry an "Emergency" £20 ready folded, just to show off!" The extra thickness doesn't matter as it ends up in the middle of the model. Maybe put a few regular dollar bills on the table at the restaurant with a one dollar origami creation on top? It gives you something to do while you wait for your food."I'm in the UK and regularly make this model with all of our Bank Notes! The trick is to fold about 5mm of the long edges in, thus making it about the same proportions as the USA Dollar Bill. Jerry also had the great idea of using these dollar-origami models to give as a tip you could use bills of different values, depending on the size of tip needed, or use two or three different $1 ideas. This box is really neat, you can put something tiny inside and it actually works! Granted, I had to hold down some stick-up corners inside the chest I made in order to close the drawer, but it was fun to use! It would be so cool to give as a little gift, or a huge gift if you put something tiny but valuable inside, such as a piece of jewelry. ![]() Jerry has several other videos as well, and here’s a:īox or rather, it’s a slide-out drawer in a chest: ![]() And this one can stand up! With a head and all! He even shares a bit of life’s wisdom along the way while explaining what he’s doing and why “Now, what I want (to accomplish)… Of course you can’t always get what you want… But what I want, is…” I love it, he sounds like a person I would have loved to talk to and get to know. The gentleman on this next video, Jerry from “yesmagic” on YouTube, explains and shows you how to make a more casual shirt, but with a pair of pants to go with it. The video of the dog is a bit trickier to follow, as there is no sound or text to help you along, so I had to go back several times in order to catch just what the next step was, but I made it in the end. The videos I included are my favorite ones. I watched other videos as well, where they took you through the process in a very professional looking manner, but didn’t do nearly as good of a job explaining and helping you to see what you’re trying to do. Nothing is rushed, but show you in detail just how to do it. The first few videos were made by such nice, encouraging gentlemen who help you step by step. I did find that if the used bills had folds in them prior to the project, more so than just being soft and worn, it made it more confusing to fold since it was harder to know which fold to use. I have included a picture of my final product for each item. Since I had a limited supply of newer bills, I practiced on some softer, used ones at first until I had an idea of what I was trying to do, then I did it on a stiff, new bill to make the end product look nice and neat. One of the first things I did, was to get a hold of some nice, crisp dollar bills. I am concluding that if I can do this, that means you probably can, too! ![]() Since I am not very experienced in origami, I found the videos to be very helpful. It was so much fun, so I’d like to share a couple of these videos along with the creations I made. I watched a video on this, and thought it was really neat, so I decided to give it a try. ![]() Today, just for the fun of it, I want to post about making origami creations using American $1 bills. ![]()
