Super Easy Dollar Bill Heart

By Noreen 59 Comments




By Noreen Doll.

A super easy dollar bill heart makes a fun gift.

Super Easy Dollar Bill Heart by Crafty Journal

Sometimes money is the best gift to give, but it seems so much nicer when you wrap it in a fun way or do something special with it.

Super Easy Dollar Bill Heart by Crafty Journal

This is the third dollar bill heart tutorial I’ve done, and it’s very easy to make.

Dollar bill heart origami is here.  And easy dollar bill heart is here.

I found this tutorial here and have enjoyed making the hearts. You can use any denomination of money for it, too.

Materials.

Dollar Bill

How to Fold a Super Easy Dollar Bill Heart.

1. Fold the bottom edge of the dollar bill to the back side about 1/4 inch, or at the top of the words “one dollar”.  Crease sharply.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart1w-278x290

2. Fold it in half from side to side, matching all edges.  Crease sharply.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart2w-270x264

3. With the back side facing you, fold the bottom edge of one half of the dollar to the center fold line.  Crease sharply.super-easy-dollar-bill-heart4w-320x207

4. Fold the other side the same way. Crease.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart6w-290x221

5. Turn the bill over so George is facing you. Fold the center corner of one side down to meet the edge. Crease.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart7w-330x183

Repeat with the other center corner. Crease.

6. Fold each outer corner in to meet the edge. Crease.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart9w-310x235

7. Fold in a small part of each corner that sticks out on the sides. Crease sharply.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart11w-320x244

Turn it over to see the super easy dollar bill heart.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart12w-300x300

And here’s how the dollar bill heart looks if you fold it with the back side on the outside.

super-easy-dollar-bill-heart14w-300x300

Give a super easy dollar bill heart for Graduation, Mother’s Day, a birthday, or use as party favors. It would make a fun stocking stuffer, too.

Tips

For best results use a nice crisp bill.

Creasing sharply is what makes the finished piece look really good.

    I love this idea. I folded along too and have a cute little dollar heart. I love origami and it even better with money 🙂 (seen on VMG206)

    Thanks for the great idea! I’m going to send these to my niece and nephews in their valentine cards.

  24. Barb says

    February 5, 2014 at 10:25 pm

    Ok, now that is a fantastic Valentine’s gift! I’m trying to figure out how mom’s can get one too, not just the kiddies. 🙂 I love anything to do with sending cards or the lost art of letter writing. I bet if one of these were included in every letter it wouldn’t be such a lost art! ha. Visiting via “LovelyLadies” linkup

  25. Noreen says

    February 6, 2014 at 1:15 am

    I think the only way Moms are going to get one is to hope THEIR Mom gives them one. Or show it to DH and tell him how much fun it is to fold $100 dollar bills!

  26. karen says

    February 6, 2014 at 1:52 am

    That will make me a popular grandma on Valentine’s Day! Thanks!

  27. Marla says

    February 6, 2014 at 2:11 pm

    Very creative idea. We have a shirt made from dollar bills that we have for years. I think it took 5 $1 to make. Thanks for sharing. I just might try this. Have a wonderful healthy day!

    As the kids keep getting older money seems to be the best gift, I agree, making it cute/fun makes it more fun to give. This is awesome, thanks for sharing at our party!

    Thanks for posting this! It looks easy enough that even I could make! I want to do 41 hearts and then string them together to make a lei. A gift for my sister.. her birthday is coming up. .. I have lots of time to do it.

  43. Noreen says

    October 8, 2014 at 6:36 am

    That sounds like fun! Everyone would love to receive a lei full of money. You could alternate the dollar bills with messages, or thoughts, or even memories.

  47. Cheryl says

    February 3, 2015 at 6:37 pm

    Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I always put a few dollars in the grandchildren’s Valentine cards and it will be fun to fold them into hearts first.
    I love to do origami so will absolutely enjoy this. Thanks again; new reader but now I’ll be following your blog!

    WOW! What a great tutorial! I used a worn $5 bill and created a great-looking heart on my FIRST try! Being spacially-challenged, this is quite an accomplishment. Thank you. I enclosed it with a Valentine’s Day card to my grand-nephew.
