If you ended up with a crumpled piece of paper instead of a beautiful money origami heart, don't despair! Perhaps the video instructions below will make the process clearer for you.Ĭlick the white arrow to play. How did it go? Did it work? If so, well done! The steps are a bit tricky to explain with pictures, so you did well to follow them :-) : Turn the bill over, and your money origami heart is complete! : Fold in the side-corners to finish off the heart shape. Then repeat with the other 7 little flaps. : Take one of the little flaps you folded in the last step, and flatten it into a sort of kite shape, like on the top-right of this photo. Fold in the edges along the dotted lines shown. : Now you have four little flattened squares. : Take one of the little flaps you folded in the last step, and flatten it into a square, like the one on the top-right of this photo. : Now there are some loose flaps at the top and the bottom. Fold the top flap to the right, along this dotted line. : On the left side of the note, there are two big triangular flaps. : Fold the little corner tabs, along the lines shown. (It will fold into this shape naturally anyway, because of the creases you made in the previous steps.) Then fold in half, right to left. : Turn the bill over again, and fold it into this shape. Each fold goes through the centre of a 'cross' from the previous step. : Turn the bill over, then fold and unfold along these dotted lines. Folds are at 45 degrees, so they bring the side of the paper into line with the top or bottom. : Fold and unfold along the dotted lines shown here. Anyway, don't be alarmed by the number of steps. No, wait, it wasn't a wise person, I saw it written on a fridge magnet.

The following tutorial video, showing how to make this dollar origami frog model is available on the Cool Origami Easy Tutorial by Yakomoga YouTube Channel. If you think this one is a bit difficult, you could try folding this traditional frog instead or some other easier money origami models like the money origami duck, dollar bill cross, or the money origami clothes. With the rear legs splayed out, the completed Money Origami Frog is about 6cm (around 2.5”) wide, and about 4cm (approx. Nevertheless, if you’ve done anything box pleated before, this model should be pretty simple to make. This is not a hard model to fold, although it’s a bit fiddly! The detailed pattern on a dollar bill can make it difficult to see where the fold lines are, which can make accurate folding a little challenging. There’s a degree of tension in the legs, so if you squeeze them together against the body, the dollar origami frog will jump (well, slide anyway) across the table. The paper that bank notes are made from is designed to be durable which is fantastic for models like this money origami frog.
