How to Fold a Dollar Bill into an Origami Heart

Folding a dollar bill into an origami heart is a fun and creative way to give a cash gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holiday celebrations, or special occasions. With this simple tutorial, you can transform your dollar bill into a beautiful heart-shaped gift in just 2 minutes.

To start, place a US dollar bill so that the green side is up. Fold lengthwise into quarters and unfold. This will create a crease line down the center of the bill.

Next, make mountain folds along the four corners to achieve a heart shape. Valley fold the top of the model allowing the layers behind to fold forward. At the same time, lift the triangular flap made in step 4.

Re-fold the dollar bill lengthwise along the quarter crease line made in step 1. If possible, align the paper so that the number '1' and word 'ONE' join up nicely.

Valley fold the top-left and top-right corners towards the central crease line. This will help to shape the heart even further.

Finally, mountain fold the top of the dollar bill using the base of the small triangle as a landmark. Fold the top corner at a 45-degree angle so that the corner meets the quarter crease-mark made above.

And that's it! You should now have a beautiful origami heart made from your dollar bill. This design is perfect for those who are new to origami or looking for a quick and easy project.

Tips:

* Use a fresh, crisp dollar bill for best results.

* If you want to practice before making the final model, play money from an old board game makes a good addition to your kit of origami supplies.

* You can also use other denominations of bills or even gift cards to create different shapes and designs.

With this simple tutorial, you can create a unique and memorable gift for anyone special. So why not give it a try and see what kind of creative Origami designs you can come up with?
