How to Make an Origami Money Holder

Use some of the bills in your origami money holder to make even more origami.

An origami money holder is a very practical item for everyday use. This origami money holder will hold your bills, cards and even some spare change. If you're in a pinch, a plain sheet of white paper will transform into a functional money holder with a few basic steps and folds. Or, select an ornate style of origami paper for a more durable and decadent wallet. Instead of spending money on expensive wallets at the store, save your bills by folding your own origami money holder.

Things You'll Need

• Square sheet of origami paper

Instructions

1. Lay your sheet of paper on a hard, flat surface, color side facing down.

2. Fold your square in half vertically. Crease and unfold it.

3. Fold the left and right sides into the center. Crease and unfold them.

4. Fold in each of the four corners, lining them up with the first vertical crease line. Next, fold both the left and right sides into the middle again.

5. Flip your project over. Fold the top edge about one-third of the way down. Fold the bottom edge up so that it overlaps slightly with the top edge. Tuck the bottom flap inside the top flap.

6. Fold the project in half to complete the money holder.
