My husband and I decided to do origami $2 bills for the tooth fairy. It’s pretty fun!
Thought of you Cindy. Enjoy
Wheres the link to make them?
where do i go to actually make one of these things
how do i actually make one of these
This is so cool. It’s as if these dollar bills transformed into cool works of art by magic! Speaking of magic, check out some great mn magicians, like this guy :)
Here are some more dollar folds: http://www.origami-resource-center.com/dollar-bill.html

Wow. What an amazing idea!! Too cool!!
Haha! That’s cool :)
I’m from Australia and I remember from childhood a rude thing you used to be able to make with our $5 note…very rude! You could fold it so that it made Queen Elizabeth’s neck (with her pearl necklace) look like a whale pleasing a man’s you-know-what…very strange but true! haha…wow…must’ve been 15 years since I thought of that!
That is incredible. All of a sudden, everyone on my list is going to be getting money origami for Christmas…
I love these ideas! Yay for back to the Future and monster socks — haha, they crack me up. :)
sage, I think that’s a spider. The crab is slightly different – here’s a link:

did you also know you can fold a koi from a dollar bill? It even had scales, it’s totally crazy! Took my husband several days to fold his first one. Here are the instructions:

Jo, my husband makes BOTH of these, plus a “dime-in-ring,” a folded ring from a dollar bill that includes a bezel setting with a dime in it. He’s so cute! (and mad talented!)
Good idea! Hubby got money folded into airplanes once. Cutest things ever. Thanks for the suggestion.
this is awesome!
That is too cool! Love the spider.
Ha! These are amazing!
o my goodness…the camera is precious
Genius, I wonder if I could do the first one with the queen?
That is such a good idea! Giving money pretty much lacks a personal touch so to do something like origami with it would give it that little extra something to make it more thoughtful. I must remember this for when my baby nephews eventually reach that age!
How fun!
I’ve done the shirts, but these are wonderful! I’ll ahve to pass them on – there’s another teacher at my work who does flowers and diapers – she’d love this!

This is so clever! Definitely have those few people that end up getting money…
Abe is hilarious! And how on earth did they make those perfect car wheels!? Crazy!
whoa these are awesome!
This is genius! Goodbye to money being a ‘boring’ gift! x
This is so awesome! I had to share it with my dad… he gives us folded money every year on our birthdays and Christmas.
These are genius!!! :)
wow, that takes some serious skill!
the crab is out of control, real talent to do something that detailed with paper.
hi!
what a funny post!!
have you ever visit our blog? we make rings, earrings…
come and visit us!
These are great! When I was a diner waitress in high school, there was an old guy that sat at the counter and his tip was always folded fancy.
These are amazing!!!!
Hehe! These are so cute! Reminds me of something else I also saw the other day, with paper folding..

That Abe Lincoln one is AWESOME!
:)
My hairdresser made all origami money gifts last year for her immediate family. They were gorgeous & way over more than $1 but so heartfelt. They were absolutely gorgeous. This is a fun idea.
these are super rad!!! i love the little tiny camera!!
Best idea ever. Love Abe & the little camera!!
Abe looks like he could have his own rap album like that! The camera is blowing my mind. I wonder if I could create teeny tiny film, too…
just figured out what i am going to do at work all day! ;) cool stuff.

Hahah…those are awesome! Kisses.
My boyfriend’s grandfather folds dollar bills into bow ties behind his back, and so I’ll have to show him these so he can learn some new tricks! :)
Thanks. I wonder if they’ll look as cool using Canadian money.
thats pretty awesome!@
Clever, and lovely! I will attempt this today. Love it. Thanks for sharing with us Joanna.
So fun! Love “The Abe”. Thanks for sharing.
