Michael G. LaFosse - Money Origami Kit eBook: Make the Most of Your Dollar!: Origami Book with 21 Projects and Downloadable Instructional DVD

X-Wallet Designed by Richard L. Alexander, 2006 This simple, 2-piece design is my handy way to hide the majority of a generous cash tip, while making a neat, decorative presentation. Despite its simplicity we are amazed by the number of people who learn it, only to forget how to place the third fold, so do practice this fold! You will need two crisp dollar bills for this project. Begin obverse side up. Fold the right edge up to match the top edge and the left edge down to the bottom edge. Fold in half.

Look ahead at figure for the shape. Make another so that you have two identical units. Assemble by inserting the top, back corner of each unit into the top front corner of each. You can insert more cash, a note or other small item. Close completely and turn over.

Monkey Face Ring Designed by Richard L. Monkey Face Ring Designed by Richard L.

Alexander, 2006 This version of the funny face is a crowd pleaser (especially if your crowd is very young, and they are getting wise to the Ive got your nose! trick). Use this talking monkey ring to practice your ventriloquism. (Hint: The farther you hold the ring from your mouth, the more successful your performance will be!) Begin with the obverse side up. Fold in half, long edge to long edge. Unfold. Turn over. Mountain-fold along the open edge of the letter E in ONE. Mountain-fold along the open edge of the letter E in ONE.

Move the folded edge up to the level indicated by the red line in the drawing, just below the two eye-like scrolls. Mountain-fold along the midline of the letter O in ONE. Move the folded edge up to the level indicated by the red line in the drawing, just up to the horizontal line of the letter E. Form the band by tucking the bottom end into the top. The Monkey Face Ring.

Jumping Frog (With Eyes) Designed by Michael G.

LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander, 2006 This version of the jumping frog is one that Michael and I worked out together. We wanted to make a simple frog that jumped well, and still sported a pair of distinctive eyes. You can continue to refine the shape, folding more details into this design to make exquisite renditions that perform better than the currency from which its folded. To make best use of the color and to end up with eyes on your frog, begin with the obverse side up. Fold a short edge of the bill up to the top, long edge and unfold.

Fold the same short edge down the bottom long edge. Unfold. Repeat with the other short edge of the bill. Turn over. Fold in the left and right edges by matching corners marked A to the crease ends at B. Using the installed creases collapse each end of the bill into triangle shapes. Your bill should look like this. Turn over. With the bill positioned as shown, fold the bottom point up at the level of the lower left and right corners. Your bill should look like this. Turn over. Fold the top right corner flap over to the left. Fold the right edge in to the center.
