Money Origami

There’s always someone on the internet who knows how to do something cool or interesting and is willing to share it with the rest of the online world. Take, for instance, Sherwood Clay Randall Jr. or just “Clay” as he prefers. His site looks a little old, like maybe it’s been there since the mid 90s, but it’s just as entertaining and informative as when he put it there.

It’s true that I enjoyed reading his mom and his family but my favorite part of his site is his Money Origami page. Seriously, this guy has step-by-step instructions on making a pair of glasses, a serpent and a spider, a Christams tree or gift box, all using a dollar bill or two or five. How cool is that?

My first thought when I saw this was that my younger kids would love learning Origami using a dollar bill. Then I realized that the little gift box with a candy kiss inside would be a cute birthday party favor. Heck, even most promotional products cost more than a dollar each and aren’t nearly as fun. Oh, and then my older kids started practicing money origami because they said it would be a cool bar trick. Ha!

If you’re looking for a fun project for the kids when they’re hanging out being bored or you need a cute party favor or even an interesting bar trick, check out Clay’s money page for more than a dozen cool things to do with a dollar or two or five.
