Japanese art in all areas is distinguished by rather non-standard solutions and original execution. So the ancient oriental ability to fold all kinds of shapes out of paper has not been left aside. Today, origami made from money is especially popular. The originality of these models is truly amazing.
And the first example would be a shirt and tie.
The patterns for these origami models are very simple. To perform some models, only a diagram without detailed description, such as with a money shirt, since the figure consists of one bill. Due to the fact that this will be your first experience in money origami, I highly recommend using money of the smallest denomination.
So, detailed diagram to fold the original money shirt:
If you have difficulty reading the diagram, then this video master class will come to your aid:
The fantasy of Japanese origamists did not end there. They came up with original gift for the other half - a money heart. This is perhaps the most romantic way to give money to your significant other. You can take note and actively use it on Valentine's Day.
A very beautiful heart from a banknote can be made according to the following scheme:
This figure seems complex only at first glance. There are no clever tricks here. But still, for clarity, you can also watch a visual master class on video:
After practicing on simple figures, you can safely try more complex origami models made from money: the rose pattern will require you a little more time and money, namely 3 banknotes.
In general, you can choose any flowers as a model, but, in my opinion, a bouquet paper roses looks much more interesting:
So, for work, in addition to money, we will need a toothpick, an elastic band and a wine cork. Before work, make several notches on the cork so that we get a multi-level rose bud.
Now, using a toothpick, you need to carefully round all the edges of the bill inward - these are the future petals of the flower:
We bend the workpiece through an elastic band for money:
Then carefully wrap it around the top cut on the cork:
The result should be the following:
Follow these steps with the remaining bills:
The finished bud looks very voluminous and, in the literal sense of the word, expensive:
A rose bud can be planted on a stem from artificial flower or a pre-prepared wire blank.
By the way, the imagination of Japanese craftsmen really knows no bounds. You can give money to your lover or friend in the form of a dress model. Moreover, there are quite a lot of models of origami dresses, as well as real clothes in every girl's wardrobe.
I suggest you look at one of the manufacturing options greeting card with an unusual money dress in the video:
Well, if time is really pressing, then there are simpler models that can be made in a couple of minutes. The classic origami butterfly takes on a completely different look if you make it from “expensive” paper. Judge for yourself:
As an exclusive, I found the original author's diagram of the folding of this butterfly. Don't let it bother you that she's on English language, because all manipulations with paper are depicted in the most visual way:
A dollar car also belongs to the category of light money sculptures. A visual production diagram will not cause any difficulties, but the effect of such a gift will exceed all your expectations. Why not please your friend with an “expensive” car?
There are a lot of options for figures and methods of adding money, because the imagination of Japanese masters never ceases to amaze with its bold ideas.
Dollar Peacock:
Money - universal gift, which removes from the shoulders of the donor and recipient the problem of the need for the appropriateness of the gift. But there is another problem: to give them beautifully and naturally. Of course, a simple white envelope always looks quite capacious in itself, but is it always appropriate? Especially at celebrations where giving money is almost customary, like at weddings? A series of envelopes begins to tire quite quickly... Therefore, more and more often I want to make cash gifts more original, original, so that even after the money itself is spent, the memory of them as a gift will not be erased. Surprisingly, there are a lot of ideas
And this is by no means a Kalanchoe, but a real money tree, made with your own hands. The easiest way is to buy a ready-made interior “tree of happiness” in the store and use it as a base. Remove excess decorations from it, if necessary, and use the freed fastenings to place banknotes.
For those who are not looking for easy ways, there is another way - to independently twist the base from wire and wires. There are a lot of master classes on this topic on the Internet, but in general, the procedure is quite simple: after the wire base is twisted, it is wrapped in cloth, gauze or bandages soaked in a solution of plaster or alabaster. After the plaster has dried, you can draw “cracks” on the “trunk” with a sharp knife or a thick needle so that it looks like real bark, and paint the future tree. The entire work takes about a day, taking into account the drying time of the gypsum.
There are also many options for attaching money. You can simply connect the bills in the middle with a “bow” or remember origami and fold them with your own hands into flowers, birds, leaves - the more original the idea, the more interesting the gifts will be! And if you place rhinestones, beads, sequins, ribbons and other decorations among the bills, then the tree itself will become wonderful decoration interior
This is just one idea! But the base-barrel can be embroidered, knitted, sewn using appliqué or patchwork techniques, and the bills can be secured to the finished product, for example, with ribbons. And if you draw a tree, the recipient will also have a beautiful picture as a keepsake!
Another interesting way to give cash gifts is the so-called magic and pop-up boxes. These boxes, made using the scrapbooking technique, can be decorated not only with accessories, but also with beautifully decorated wishes for the hero of the occasion. It’s hard to imagine a more original packaging for money. “Magic” boxes open spectacularly, revealing banknotes attached to the bottom and side walls.
Pop-up boxes are reminiscent of a “bouncer in a box” toy, because when opened, the contents rise up and come out on their own. The most important thing is that the entire surface of the box plays the role of a large composite postcard, giving the recipient not only money, but also good wishes! Such gifts are never forgotten! Step-by-step master class To learn how to make a surprise box with your own hands, read here.
If a tree seems too complicated an idea, you can limit yourself to a bouquet. From money. For the simplest bouquet, it is enough to twist the banknotes into a “twist” and secure them on sticks of a suitable length. Wrap the resulting bouquet in a beautiful net, paper or fabric and tie it with ribbon.
A little more work and patience - and you will get the most beautiful bouquet of money. Banknotes can be rolled using the origami technique, or you can, with just a rubber band and toothpicks at your disposal, roll real roses with your own hands. It’s even more interesting if you make a bouquet of money using the suite design technique, i.e. Collect a flower from banknotes around a candy. The result will be not only rich in every sense, but also a delicious bouquet! Such two-in-one gifts always cause genuine delight among recipients.
Suite design is a treasure trove of ideas for giving money in any form. For example, gold fish, made with your own hands from sweets and floral organza (mesh, corrugated paper - according to the taste of the creator), definitely has the right to promise to fulfill not just three, but as many wishes as you like, since it floats in money “waves”. The sweet theme can be played out in another way - by making a multi-tiered cake out of banknotes. Three cardboard circles of different diameters are glued together to form a base. Each bill is rolled into a roll and attached to the base using a paper clip. The finished product is decorated with ribbons, flowers and decorative paper. If desired, you can hide any other gift inside the cake, or leave it hollow.
If you develop a fairy tale theme, then why not make a magic pot, clearly hidden once by a cunning gnome or leprechaun, because it is full of chocolate gold and real money- both paper and metal. You can buy a real clay pot, or make it yourself from scrap materials. “Pirate chest” made from a box, cut out of polystyrene foam or glued together from cardboard, covered with gold and silver corrugated paper, decorated precious stones made of rhinestones and beads, full of chocolate gold coins and real bills will be a wonderful gift!
A sea shell made of straw, foil or cardboard hides inside a “pearl” folded from banknotes, a candy mill rotates with wings made of banknotes, an office briefcase made of cardboard and floral paper is tightly stuffed with money - does anyone else doubt that cash gifts can be given beautifully? !
Even if it seems that there is no energy, time, opportunity or even skills for handicrafts, there are still many ways to quickly and easily turn boring money into interesting and original gifts. And the main one is packaging! 1. Bank with money. You just need to buy a beautiful jar and fill it with money beautifully folded and even tied with ribbons. Attach a bow to the lid, tie a wide ribbon around the jar itself - and beautiful gift ready!
2. A fun and original idea is to melt money inside a piece of homemade soap. To do this, the bill is placed in a small plastic container. Then pour the first layer of base into the soap mold and let it harden. Spray with alcohol, place the container and pour the second layer. The top layer of the base should be completely or translucent so that the surprise is visible.
3. A variation on the same theme - a bag of money - also quick, simple and nice idea. You can decorate the bag in different ways (one of the fun ideas is in the photo above), and simply put the money inside. It is advisable to just fold them so that the bag is filled tighter, or you can add chocolate coins for weight and volume
4. Origami from banknotes also remains relevant. You can use banknotes to make anything you want: a camera, shoes, and even a ring. Another origami-themed idea is to combine many simple shapes, such as butterflies, into a single Hawaiian-style wreath. This surprise is suitable for both birthdays and weddings. If there are few bills, then flowers made of paper or fabric and, of course, candies will help to dilute the composition. A little imagination, and an unusual bright wreath is ready! Central element You can make a heart into a wreath. How to roll a heart from 1 banknote is shown in detail in this video: In the end, even if everything original ideas seem complicated or inappropriate, there is always the option of giving money in a handmade envelope or postcard. The work and warmth of the soul invested in their creation change the nature of the gift, despite the traditional packaging. Giving cash gifts turns out to be not so boring. A little imagination, attention to the interests of the recipient - and banknotes turn into a unique surprise.
“In a crisis, all means are good,” said one of my acquaintances, who makes her living in a profession that is quite atypical for women. So good that there is nothing shameful in turning to unconventional methods for help and building yourself money talisman- “for good luck.” I’m joking, of course, but it’s really believed that such a shirt, made up of ordinary ten Russian rubles (of course, in one bill), living in a purse, financially favors its owner. In the distant Soviet times, any schoolchild could easily make such a figure, and you could often find it in the wallets of older people - who the hell is it, maybe it will really help? After all, in childhood we threw coins “for divorce”, “for sowing”?
Well, I won’t say about supernatural abilities, but the fact that such a manigam brings a smile to many people - friends, acquaintances, and even ordinary individuals with whom you carry out trade relations - is the most true thing. And if you are planning to give a wallet to someone, remember that giving it away empty is strictly forbidden according to the same rules. folk signs. But with an intricately folded ten-ruble shirt - a sweet deal!
In general, we will need about half an hour of time, a banknote of ten Russian rubles and a little diligence. There is no diagram, but there are pictures. Go:
1. Make a fold on the left side, folding in a little less than a third of the bill;
2. Fold the banknote in half along its long sides. Unfold the fold. We bend the upper and lower long edges to it;
3. Unfold the folds obtained after folding the long edges. Turn over the paper. We bend a strip half a centimeter wide from the right edge of the bill;
4. Turn the ten over and once again bend the long edges towards the middle. Once again bend the thin strip on the right side;
5. Now we’ll make cuffs for our shirt. Fully unbend the left edge of the product and bend the thin strips along the edges;
6. Re-bend the long edges of the bill towards the middle;
7. Take the left side of the banknote. We bend the inner flaps outward so that their ends protrude above the upper and lower edges of the shirt - these will be the sleeves. Now for the right edge: bend the corners forward until they intersect with the horizontal center line. This way we get a collar;
8. Bend the left edge of the paper, threading it under the collar flaps. Voila, the shirt is folded. Now she can send the shirt straight to her workplace - to any convenient compartment of her wallet, attracting bigger money. But don’t rush to quit your job expecting riches, in case the method doesn’t work
If you don't succeed the first time, don't despair and try again. Here is another instruction, this time a video. Here, however, the dollar is used, but the principle is absolutely identical:

Perhaps, each of us always has one or two paper bills in our pocket, but many do not even suspect that a real work of art can be made from this “piece of paper”! This type of art is called " money origami", simply put money origami or moneygami.

Dollar Peacock:
After watching this master class with photos, you will learn how to fold modular origami star made from dollar bills.
A dollar star is made from 5 paper bills of any denomination; for example, 1 dollar is taken.
You can make such a star from any banknotes of any country and even just from pieces of paper that fit the size of an American dollar (2.61 by 6.14 inches, or 6.6 by 15.6cm).
Step 1: Fold the bill in half and unfold it again to create a fold along its full length.
Step 2. Make folds on both corners of the right side to the center line. Do the same in the lower left corner.
Step 3. Connect the right side with the folded left corner, as in the photo:
You will get this:
Step 4: Flip over so that the folded left corner is facing up. Then unfold it.
After this, fold both corners on the right side towards the center.

Money as a gift has always been relevant. They are still given today for all kinds of holidays. Officially, they are presented in envelopes and postcards, sometimes they are presented in more in an original way. We suggest you give them in the form of a Christmas star by bending the bill using the origami technique. You can also decorate the Christmas tree with similar money items if you want to attract wealth into your home.
Materials
To work, you will need 7 banknotes.
IN in this case we will show an example on the $1 bill.
Step 1. First, you will need to fold a base square from a bill to build the rays of a star.
To do this, fold it in half, crosswise, forming a fold line.
Turn the bill over reverse side and bend the corner so that the formed triangle is at the top.
Turn the workpiece over again, bending it along the edge of the resulting triangle.
Fold the rest of the bill into a flap and tuck it inside.
Step 2. Now from the square you need to form the rays of a star with pockets for attaching them to each other. First, fold the blanks into a triangle, forming a fold line.
Unbend the element and wrap its sides towards the center line. It should look like a blank for a paper airplane.
Fold the top corner to the reverse side.
Unfold the workpiece and in the direction opposite to the first folded corner, turn out the bottom element and tuck it in, forming a pocket. You can see how everything should look in the photo.
Step 3. So you will need to bend all the bills.
Step 4. In the front of each of the received elements you have a longitudinal pocket, and in the back there is a free piece of paper, not marked with a cross in the photo.
These two elements of the workpiece will need to be attached to each other, forming a star. Please note that your product will end up being voluminous. On the one hand, it will be a little larger and this will make it look more interesting.
How to make a 5-pointed star out of money?
This five-pointed star consists of five bills. It is not necessary to use dollars, you can use any money, as long as they are the same. The peculiarity of this origami star is that you can get four options for the star, it all depends on which side of the banknote you start folding it from.
Here's an example of what you'll get from a one-dollar bill:
 |
 |  |
If you use other money, then you will have your own four options!
This money star is quite simple to assemble; this origami can even be classified as modular, since this star is assembled from four elements. This star is often attributed to Trang Chung, as she was the first to assemble it using money, but the design itself is traditional and was published in the book “Origami from Around the World” by Visetne Palacios.
1. Let's start from the front side and fold the bill in half, then unfold it back. 
2. Fold the bill in half from left to right, then unfold it. Also make a fold in the left half of the bill in half so that the left side divides the folds into 4 parts. 
3. Fold the upper right and lower right corners along the indicated lines 
4. Now you need to bring the right green point to the left point (the fold formed in the second step), thereby making a fold 
Flip the model
 5. Fold the upper right and lower right corners |  6. Now fold the corners again |
 Flip the model |  7. Fold the left side of the bill to the right and tuck the end under the triangular flap |
 8. Fold the left side over again and tuck it under the triangle. |  9. And in this step you need to fold this part three times and tuck it under the triangle. |
 It should look like this |  Press the folds with a clothespin or any clamps to prevent them from unraveling. And now you just have to make 4 more of the same models! |
Collecting a star:
 10. Take two elements and turn them around so that you can see their back side. and insert element B between layers A (see photo) |  11. Once you have done this, insert the right stick of element A under the layers of element B |
 12. Assemble the third block: insert the left stick from block C under the paper layers of block B. |  13. Insert the right stick from block B under the layers of paper from block C. This is a little more difficult to do, but you will definitely succeed |
 14. Continue assembling the 4th block. Insert one stick (1) and then the other (2). Sometimes you need to bend the block stick to insert it |  15. Paste the last part. You may need to undo the previous step to do the next one. |
 16. Insert a stick in one block between the layers of the adjacent block. |  17. Complete the assembly by placing the remaining stick under the layers of paper of the adjacent block. This is one of the most difficult elements of the assembly, but once completed, all the blocks will hold together quite tightly. |
 The model may be slightly uneven, to level it just move the blocks. Turn the model over and see what you get. |  Ta-dam! Ready-made five-pointed star made of money! |
Using the dollar as an example, you can see what happens if you start assembling from different sides of the bill.
