Origami divide paper into US dollar
The US dollar bill measures approximately 6.6 cm x 15.5 cm, which is a 1:2.35 ratio. You can measure and cut the paper to the appropriate size. Or you can use the origami technique below to cut the square-shaped paper into pieces about the size of a US dollar bill. The size of the paper will have the same ratio as the dollar bill.
The scheme you will find below is more of a mathematical experiment, which will be curious to make with the kids of school age. It is kind of a magic, where you will not need a ruler to make up a perfect paper rectangle of the exact size. You will only need a piece of regular or origami paper, your hands, and a couple of minutes for this interesting craft. Shall we start?
Take 15cm x 15cm square-shaped paper. (You can use the same steps for 21 cm x 28 cm paper)
Fold the paper in half along the diagonal axis. Fold well.
Then fold the top layer of paper so that its edge matches the diagonal on the right side.
Iron the fold again.
Unfold the folded paper.
Fold the fold horizontally from the bottom as shown.
Carefully work out the folding line, making up a rectangle.
Fold another fold horizontally from the top as shown.
Iron the folds, accenting the bend lines.
Unfold the paper and cut it as shown.
You have gotten 3 rectangles out of your square paper. The first 2 rectangles are in the same approximate proportions as a US dollar.
The top rectangle can be discarded.
Now you can use these 2 rectangular-shaped papers, similar to a dollar bill, to fold origami.
