These days, a dollar won't get you very far, but—in the right hands—a dollar bill can become a work of art.
In LaFosse and Alexander's Dollar Origami, the world-renowned origami artists and co-founders of the eminent Origamido Studio share twenty incredible creations specifically designed to be made out of dollar bills. Folded money models are wonderful gifts and conversation pieces, and this book makes it easy for you to get started with projects ranging from "very simple" to "challenging". In addition to the unique and exclusive collection of twenty paper folding projects, the book includes:
It's no wonder that more and more people are realizing how fun dollar bill origami can be. Printed currency is easy to fold, remarkably durable, intricately patterned, and readily available. Whether you're making The Windmill Pillow, Prosperity Bamboo, The George Washington Knot, or Drahcir the Dragon, you—and your friends—will be delighted with the results!
