Wow, I’m on a roll! 2 blogs in 2 days? I guess I have proven how into origami I really am.  I figured since I make around 5-10 origami pieces a day, I might as well blog about them soon before they begin to pile up all around me.  So here’s what I did today.

Who loves money??? I’ve seen a few money folding websites around so I decided to get my dollar bill out of my wallet.  I don’t know how waiters like receiving bills folded in pretty shapes.  Money is money right? ^_^ I got my designs from this website.

Here’s a simple yet pretty way to leave your tip on the table.  I love the way the face on the bill pops out.  The designer made sure that this is the way it’s going to look in the end.

boots

This is a nice pair of boots made with 2 1 dollar bills.  They are really cute aren’t they?

Here’s another origami made of a dollar bill.  It unravels very easily, and the instructions for it are easy to follow.

pentagon box

I’m pushing myself to learn a new way of making boxes all the time.  This one is made of regular size yellow paper.  I had to cut it in half to make the box and the cover which is also a pentagon shape. It’s a nice box to place little presents in.

Crowing Butterflies

After all the warm up origami, I dove into my complicated origami for today.  This design is called “Crowding Butterflies” by Shuzo Fujimoto.  I used the tutorial made by Sara Adams which can be found in her website.  I plan to learn a lot more designs from her videos.  I love the way she emphasizes which creases should be mountain folds and which should be valley folds.  If I was able to follow her tutorial, I’m sure you will too.  This was made with 6×6 in square origami paper.  I have no idea what to use it for, but it’s just really pretty. ^_^
