Money Origami Heart
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear “St. Valentine’s Day”, is of course heart-shaped cards and ornaments. And of course, if you make it with your own hands, it will transmit even more of your love.
For a day that celebrates love, you can make a paper heart in the origami technique. Red or pink will look cute but casual. In search of something special? Then you are in the right place. We suggest you fold a heart out of a dollar bill. It’s easy and very unique! You will definitely impress your significant other.
By the way, in the art of origami, there is a whole current in which figures are made from money bills. And it even has its own name — monegami. So, let’s start folding your very special monegami!
Take a banknote, lay it face down, and fold the bottom edge under.
If you are using a dollar bill, the denomination should be visible on the back.
Fold in half crosswise, and then return to its original position.
Bend the right and left edges to the center fold line so that they meet on it.
Turn the shape over.
Make two folds diagonally in the central part of the shape. The contour of the heart is already visible!
Make two more folds, this time with the outer corners.
Fold corner A and corner D so that points A and B, C and D meet.
You can now see the distinctive contours of your future heart. Check well with the photo below.
Finally, the last step: turn the figure over.
A wonderful gift is ready! If you make several of these hearts, you get a whole garland!
