My husband and I decided to do origami $2 bills for the tooth fairy. It’s pretty fun!

This is so cool. It’s as if these dollar bills transformed into cool works of art by magic! Speaking of magic, check out some great mn magicians, like this guy :)

Haha! That’s cool :)

I’m from Australia and I remember from childhood a rude thing you used to be able to make with our $5 note…very rude! You could fold it so that it made Queen Elizabeth’s neck (with her pearl necklace) look like a whale pleasing a man’s you-know-what…very strange but true! haha…wow…must’ve been 15 years since I thought of that!

did you also know you can fold a koi from a dollar bill? It even had scales, it’s totally crazy! Took my husband several days to fold his first one. Here are the instructions:

Jo, my husband makes BOTH of these, plus a “dime-in-ring,” a folded ring from a dollar bill that includes a bezel setting with a dime in it. He’s so cute! (and mad talented!)
