How to Make Money Origami

Origami, the art of folding a piece of paper to a desired shape or form, has been around since the first century. Although it has been thought to have originated in Japan, this art actually began in China, where it was originally called “Zhe zhi.”

A new concept, which is called Money Origami, is an amazing way to turn money into various patterns and shapes. It is fast becoming a creative hobby for many people. Paper animals and insects such as giraffes, butterflies and dragonflies, as well as flowers, shirts and shoes are among the countless things that can be made with money origami. One of the more popular forms that can be made out of money origami is the bowtie.

• Get a crisp one dollar bill and fold it in half. Then, fold it in half again.
• Next, pull back the top layer and hold the rest of the layers as one, then do the same for the other side. Make sure to even out the creases.
• Then close both sides and repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other side of the bill.
• After it’s done, make a fold at the base of the triangle and split them, folding one end so as to finish the triangle. Repeat this for the other side of the bill.
• There are now two sides in the bill. Fold one of them at 45 degrees to the center and fold the other one as well. Then repeat this step for the reverse side of the bill.
• Pull the ends away from the other, slowly. For the back part, firmly hold fingers over the edges.
• Lastly, pull the ends away from each other, flatten them, and crease above the folds. Then, smile. You have just created a paper money bowtie!
