For this tree, we will start on the front side of a one-dollar bill.
STEP 1: Fold the bill in half lengthwise
Crease the bill in half and then unfold it.
STEP 2: Fold the corners of the left side to meet the crease
STEP 3: Fold the corners down again to meet the crease
Make sure to crease the folds well once again.
STEP 4: Fold the point down to meet the other flat edge
Once you have made the fold, you can then flip the bill over.
STEP 5: Fold the bill and crease as shown
The crease will be made just below the “T” in “UNITED” and “E” in “ONE.”
STEP 6: Fold the lower corners behind the point and crease
These don’t have to be perfect but just to where the corners can’t be seen from the other side.
STEP 7: Unfold the corners and then squash fold them down
Fold these edges straight up and simply squash them down neatly.
You want to pay attention to how even the base of the tree looks.
The only other thing you might want to do is shape the tree trunk to be a little slimmer.
You now have a dollar bill money origami tree!
