Money Origami Heart (simple money heart)
Include a folded heart on the inside of your Valentine's Day card, with a little note saying "treat yourself to something nice!". Or fold this little money heart on any other special occasion, such as part of an anniversary gift or as a birthday gift for a best friend.
Money hearts also make a sweet wedding gift. You can make a couple of these hearts out of 50 dollar bills and taped them into a wedding card, perhaps along with some origami money butterflies .
Don't worry if you've never tried dollar bill origami or other paper folding before. This is a simple design, and a good place to start. All you need is a dollar bill, or a 20 dollar bill, or whatever, and with a few origami folds you can make a gift in five minutes :-) Try it on an ordinary piece of paper (cut to size) first though. Okay, let's get started!
First I'll show photo instructions, but if you'd prefer you can scroll to the bottom of the page for video instructions .
Picture Instructions
Step 1 : Fold and unfold along the dotted lines shown here.
Step 2 : Fold bottom edge up to meet the centre-line fold from the previous step.
Step 3 : Fold the sides up diagonally to meet the vertical centre-line.
Step 4 : Turn the sheet over, and it should look like this. Now, fold in the sides, along the dotted lines shown here.
Step 5 : Fold the top flaps down.
Step 6 : Fold the corners in to make a rounded heart-shape.
