How to Make a Money Origami Rose

These instructions produce a small rose with a single leaf from one dollar bill. Because there is a crumpling, twisting step, some purists might say this isn't technically origami, but it does produce an interesting result. I adapted it from a paper napkin origami technique. These could be useful for tips, or wedding and graduation presents.

1. Fold the money in half and crease. Then unfold.
2. Fold half the bill in rough thirds using the first crease as a guide. You want the top third shorter than the other two to stagger the petals. The measurement doesn't have to be exact.
3. Fold under the corners on the short section.
4. Fold over the corners on the longer section like this.
   
   
5. Fold the corners you just folded inside like this.
6. Turn the whole dollar over and turn up the corner like this.
7. Roll the whole thing like this. You should keep it about loose enough to wrap around a pencil.
8. Pull out the corner you turned up in step 6 to form a leaf. Then start carefully twisting between the flower head on the right and the leaf on the left to form a stem.
   
   
9. Continue twisting to form the rest of the stem.
10. Do a little arranging to the petals and the leaf, and you're done.
