Origami with Dollar Bills: Another Way to Impress People with Your Money!

Hey, big spender--pull out that bill and...fold it. Duy Nguyen, the popular author of Dinosaur Origami and many other books, presents a creative new way to make the most of your money.

Why spend your bucks buying origami paper--when the money itself can be the paper? It adds a unique twist to traditional origami projects, plus you don't have to look any further than your wallet to find crafting materials. The clever projects, which range from a Jedi to a horseshoe crab, an American Eagle to an Oriental dragon, are absolutely fantastic. Some use a single dollar, while others need two or three bills and demand a little more skill--but with practice, patience, and Duy Nguyen's detailed illustrations of every fold, you will undoubtedly master all the techniques. For a little extra fun, amazing facts about U.S. currency appear throughout...such as how many times you can fold a dollar bill before it will tear--but don't worry, these projects will keep your money intact.

The book includes 1, 2, & 3 bill projects, some are better than others but they all are possible to make with a...

Turn your hard-earned dollars into art!

Origami With Dollar Bills is a spiral bound book that will help you beat inflation by using the dollar bills in your wallet for something useful and decorative that will amaze your family and friends. If it had a few more designs, I would have added another star, but what the hey -- it's a cheap...

Origami

Not as good as I thought it would be. Too difficult for a beginner. Thought it would be a good gift for children, but more for adults.

SOME GOOD, SOME BAD...A MIXED REVIEW

This is not what you would call a "bad" book, it is just one that did not live up to my expectations. The author gives us around 15 folding projects with a single dollar, a number of projects with multiple bills. I was looking for a book with only single bill folds. Some of the designs are...

Incomplete and Obscure

This is a cute little book, but I was disappointed because it contains only 15 figures to make with dollar bills -- five using one dollar bill, seven using two, and three using three bills. Also, I don't consider most of the figures to be interesting ones or anything that most people will...

Folding Money

A better way to give kids money than just handing them a bill. Plus you get a history and fact to repeat while folding. Makes you look like you know what money is all about.

Middle of the road...

As another reviewer noted, the spiral binding format is nice, but the models aren't very exciting. Instructions on many of the models are ambiguous to downright confusing, and could have been much clearer with just an extra sentence or two to explain how a particular fold is made.This book is...

save your money

some of the designs looked really fun, however, after 2 hours and the brains of 2 college graduates, we gave up. not all of the diagrams are accurate. nor are all of the techniques explained. they will explain a simple technicue in the beginning of the book and then use an advanced variation...
