That's how easy it is to create a small heart from banknotes.
Many people want to make a shirt from money with a tie, but not everyone knows how. Before you spoil the bills, it is worth taking an ordinary piece of white paper and practicing by following all notes instructions. The first time, of course, nothing may come of it, because a shirt with a tie from a bill is a very difficult craft. However, a few serious attempts - and the shirt will be created. A shirt made of money will not only highlight the gorgeous imagination of its creator, but will also delight others. What is the best money for a shirt?
Having decided to understand how to make a shirt from a banknote, you should immediately check the available funds.
In principle, you can take absolutely everything, but the best and most interesting option will come from the dollar. This is because he has the most suitable sizes for this. Shirts from any other banknotes will have a different shape and type.
So take a dollar or some other banknote. Fold a little less than a third of the note on the left side. Then, without unbending anything, bend the piece of paper in half along its long side, and then unfold the fold. Then, to this line in the center, it will be necessary to bend both sides.
The second step begins by unrolling 2 folded folds. The material must be turned over and a thin strip no more than 1 cm wide bend to the right. How to make a craft from Money, having done everything already described? Flip it over and fold the long edges back to the center line. Peel back another small strip on the right.
Cuffs and end of work... The entire left side of the banknote needs to be unbent, and small stripes should be bent around the edges, which will become the cuffs. Then the long edges need to be bent inward again. On the right side, the corners must be bent forward so that their lines connect with a horizontal line in the center. In this way, a shirt collar is formed. And on the left, sleeves are made: the inner valves must be turned outward. At the end of the work, the edge on the left must be bent so that it can be pushed under the collar. The craft is ready. That's how easy it is to fold a shirt out of a bill.
Shirt options... When figuring out how to make a craft out of money, it is worth remembering that you can fold not only a shirt, but also add-ons to it. For example, trousers from the same banknotes, a skirt, paper flowers, little people. An unusual craft can become a real masterpiece.
You can also make a more complex craft, such as an origami dress. The diagram can help in the creation of many crafts, so it should be given special attention.
If your craft seems unattractive to you, you can paint it in any color that you like. The most important thing in any job is patience and endurance. If you try, you will definitely succeed.

In addition to the usual postcards and envelopes, there are many other options. Let's look at 10 ways to give cash gifts.

Origami butterfly: a simple scheme from a bill and from modules with photos and videos in photos.
Already in kindergartens, children are taught to make various paper crafts. One of these products, which is very often encountered, is products made in the origami style. For small crafts, they should be simple, so the master classes provided in this article show how an origami butterfly is made. A simple diagram will also help those who have never met with such creativity to figure it out. And with such interesting and bright butterflies you can decorate any room by sticking it on the wallpaper, attaching it to the curtains. Such an activity with a child perfectly develops his fine motor skills and fantasies, which is undoubtedly important for a child.
In addition, such moths began to be used to decorate bouquets of flowers, greeting cards. And now let's move on to simple lessons with which you can learn how to make very bright and beautiful origami butterflies.
Bill insect
Many people know origami-style butterflies from ordinary colored paper, but there is no limit to the imaginations of creative people. And so moths made from the bill began to appear. Of course, one does not need to think that such jewelry is made of real money, they are most likely from fakes, but they look quite interesting.
In this master class, it is proposed to make a manigami butterfly from a banknote. Not only can ordinary colored paper be the basis for beautiful products, but also money.
Let's start creating a butterfly. We take the selected bills and fold the upper part in half diagonally, as is done in the photo below. Next, unbend and do the same, but from the other side, look at photo number 3. Now we need to fold the bottom strip of paper.
Then we unfold and bend the two folds that have formed. The day should be shorter. Now we fold it in half and across, and also along.
Now we need to bend the left corner of the bill, raise the upper part and open the pocket on the right at this time, turn the product over. By doing what is indicated in photos 9 and 11, we will be able to repeat the same variations on the other side. You should get a piece in the form of an arrow. Now the right corner needs to be bent to the left, while we outline the horizontal fold mark, then unbend. Further diagonally, you need to bend the upper left part, we see the top of this detail in the photo at number 15. Next, bend the strip, which is vertical. All the time we look at the photos below.
We open the pocket and do the repetitions, which are indicated in photos 14 and 16, but we are already folding on the parallel side. It should turn out so that the butterfly should open its wings. Now we need to form a fold that will separate the upper wings from the lower ones. And we vginaem the middle corners of the wings. Now we are making the body of our craft. We need to bend the product in half. We bend the corner in the back and the middle strip, while opening the corner on the left side. Now we do the same action from the other side. Then we make the head, for this we need to bend the corner of the head - we round the body. Now we bend the two corners at the bottom of the winglet, it should look like in photo under number 25. We open our product, while bending the wings along the body. And so our butterfly turned out from the bill.
Moth from modules
Modular design is one of the simplest, but when making a butterfly, the main thing is to choose the right color scheme. It is the color of butterflies, both in nature and in creativity, that is very important. Origami from modules always turns out to be quite bright, voluminous and beautiful.
To complete the butterfly, we first need to make the torso. We take 4 modules and connect them in pairs. Debugging to the side - this is the first and second row. Now we make the third row: take 3 modules, connect the middle modules. Fourth row: 2 modules. Fifth: we fix 3 more details, while we need to grab the corners of the last and penultimate rows. In order to secure the wings, we insert the modules into two pockets that are located along the edges.
How to make a butterfly out of money?
To make such a butterfly out of money, you will need two bills of the same denomination and a plastic-covered wire (or packing wire, which usually wraps around the wires or earpieces you bought, also called “twist wire” and “twist tie”), ordinary copper wire will work too.

1 PART:
| 1. We start assembling from the front side of the bill. You need to divide it into four equal parts, for this we fold the banknote in half, then fold each section in half. |  2. Now we need to divide the bill in the same way into 8 equal parts |
 3. And once again divide the bill, this time into 16 parts |  4. Turn over the banknote |
 5. Now we need to divide the bill into 32 parts, this is a very painstaking work! |  6. In this step, you need to fold the bill with an accordion, along the previously made folds. |

PART 2:
7. Starting with the bill back side up, fold the bottom left and bottom right corners of the bill. 
8. In this step, you need to divide the banknote into 4 equal parts, for this fold it in half, then repeat the same for the 2 received parts, then turn the banknote over.

10. Now, using the resulting folds, fold the bill like an accordion. 
11. Arrange your bills as shown in the photo. 
12. Now you need to fasten the bills together using “Twist tie” wire, regular wire or elastic, but if you use elastic, the butterfly will not have such a beautiful antennae, but you can improvise, it all depends on your fantasies. Before attaching the wire, make sure the bills look symmetrical on each side!
13. You just have to twist the ends of the wire and spread your wings, and the butterfly made of money is ready!
