  29. I've done the shirts, but these are wonderful! I'll ahve to pass them on - there's another teacher at my work who does flowers and diapers - she'd love this!

  31. That is such a good idea! Giving money pretty much lacks a personal touch so to do something like origami with it would give it that little extra something to make it more thoughtful. I must remember this for when my baby nephews eventually reach that age!

  32. Genius, I wonder if I could do the first one with the queen?

    did you also know you can fold a koi from a dollar bill? It even had scales, it's totally crazy! Took my husband several days to fold his first one. Here are the instructions:

    Jo, my husband makes BOTH of these, plus a "dime-in-ring," a folded ring from a dollar bill that includes a bezel setting with a dime in it. He's so cute! (and mad talented!)

    Haha! That's cool :)

    I'm from Australia and I remember from childhood a rude thing you used to be able to make with our $5 note...very rude! You could fold it so that it made Queen Elizabeth's neck (with her pearl necklace) look like a whale pleasing a man's you-know-what...very strange but true! haha...wow...must've been 15 years since I thought of that!
