Dollar Bill Origami (or money origami) is a type of origami that uses money instead of paper. We hope you enjoy this collection of dollar bill origami.
Origami is an ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of square paper.

I enjoyed folding the cat, but I had trouble at Step 26, and don’t know Spanish. I used Babelfish and loosely translated all the comments to help me fold it. Here they are:
For “Gato” origami instructions by Roman Diaz.
Loose translation of Spanish comments into English with additional editorial comments by Michael Robinson
Title: Cat
Header:
Begin with a rectangle of ratio 2.45:1
Remove the square and use the leftover paper rectangle
Step 20: The cat head’s “cheeks” are not flattened. (Ed. they are 3D)
Step 21: To flatten the “cheeks”: (Vary to create different cat face shapes)
Step 24: Vary the fold position to change the proportions of the cat’s body and tail.
Step 26: Repeat Step 24, but this time, separate all of the layers (Ed: This is a double reverse fold; more easily accomplished by spreading out all of the layers when performing.)
Step 28: Stick your finger in here.
Step 30: Leave the paper opened up where you stuck your finger in.

The F-14 is a perfect comment on the futility, wastefulness and cost of war.

These are incredible – the fish and shark blew mymind! How can anyone have such nimble fingers?
I think this is just further proof that ROBOTS HAVE ASSIMILATED HUMAN SOCIETY! Arm Yourselves for the Robo-Pocalypse! *puts on tin-foil hat*

and its a money saver and promotional gimmick. A single folder dollar bill is a more impressive tip then two singles; the same would be true with change given. I know I’d tip a bartender more if she/he gave my change like this. Its just cool.

I love the delicacy and intricacy of these pieces, with he old world and the new folded into each other. I know a woman who made the most amazing creations out of the paper in cigarette packages.
Thanks for the great post!

hi. my sister is really into photography and after seeing a picture of that origami camera it floored me i was like. I have to make that! But of course there aren’t any instructions for it. Darn. I would love to learn how to make it. So my question is where did you get the pattern to make it? I would really like to learn how.
