Have you ever wanted to give someone a gift, but were not sure what to get them? The answer is simple: Money Origami! Money Origami is a fun combination of money and origami. Read on to find how to make a money origami turtle.

Steps

  1. Find a dollar bill. Any bill will do, but the fresher and crisper the bill is, the easier the turtle is to make. The value is your choice.
  2. Take a corner and fold it into the bill, making a triangle. Crease (fold down so it will make a line in the bill) Unfold.
  3. Repeat with the closest corner. Crease. Unfold.
  4. Fold the side of the bill back so the "x" is "creased" in half. Unfold.
  5. Press the new line in so the side of the bill forms a point.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 on the opposite side of the bill.
  7. Fold the bill in half and "crease" the excess.
  8. Unfold with the excess "creased" back.
  9. Flip the bill to the side where the back is visible. Note the side the "pocket" is on.
  10. Flip the bill back over. Take one of the corners and fold it so that it will be visible on the other side.
  11. Repeat with the other corner on the "pocket side."
  12. Repeat steps 8 and 9 on the other side.
  13. Fold back the sides about one quarter of the way.
  14. Flip the bill back over. You now have a money origami turtle!
