For this origami money flower, we will be using 3 one-dollar bills that will all be folded the same way.
After all three are folded, you will simply tie them together.
A twist tie will work great to tie the bills together, but a string or rubber band will also work.
Let’s start folding the first dollar bill!
STEP 1: Fold the bill in half lengthwise
After folding in half lengthwise as shown, make a crease and then unfold it.
STEP 2: Fold the left and right edges to the middle
Once you have folded to the center vertical line, you can crease the folds and unfold them again.
You should now have three main crease lines that separate the bill into four sections.
STEP 3: Fold the edges in towards the nearest creases
Fold both the left and right edges to the closest crease lines.
Crease the folds well but do not unfold this time.
STEP 4: Fold the corner edges to meet the centerline
Fold all the corner edges into the horizontal centerline of the bill.
These points will be the petals, so crease them well and make them as straight as you can.
STEP 5: Fold the top and bottom to the center
After folding, make sure to crease the edges well.
STEP 6: Fold the bill in half lengthwise again
Make sure to crease the edges well again, and the first petal is finished.
Repeat steps 1-6 to fold the other two bills the exact same way.
STEP 7: Tie the twist tie on the middle of the bills
Use the twist tie to bind the three bills together in the center like shown.
You can start evening out the petals.
STEP 8: Fan out and even the petals to your liking
You can squeeze and bend the petals until you like how it looks.
The picture on the right is what it would look like if you flipped the petals inside out.
