"Want to know a great way to leave a tip and really impress. This is how you do it. By doing an origami t-shirt. Hi my name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to take my tip here and I'm going to go ahead and fold it into a t-shirt. And to start this what we are going to do , as you can see it's already pre-creased. So I can do this really quick. What I've got here is we are going to take it and we are going to fold it in half along this edge like so. And that's going to give us our center crease. With that center crease, if we open it back up, we are going to take our ends and fold it in to meet that center crease. Now what we are going to do is we are going to take our bottom edge here and we are going to fold it up somewhere around the d in the, actually lets do it from this side over here. So we can get Lincoln's face in on the shirt. Fold it up this edge right up here to where his neck is, fold it like so. That's going to be the bottom part of our shirt. And what we are going to do is we are going to fold this top white part here, and that's going to be the collar, so what we do is we, actually fold it on this side. Fold down, collar of the shirt like so. Now flip it back over to this side and we are going to take, we're just going to kind of fold a little angle here like so, it doesn't really matter, your trying to emulate the collar of the shirt. The angle isn't really all that important just make sure that both sides are equal. Now we have this folded like this, we are just going to go ahead and bring this side up like this and tuck it under the collar as best as possible. Go ahead and crease it down here to give it the look and what we are going to do is we are going to open this back up and then open this bottom part here and we are going to grab these corners and reverse fold them out, our mountain fold them as it would be, and crease them out like so. To make these, are going to be shirt sleeves, just mountain fold this one out over here as well, it's going to be a little hard to do because this is so small, small working space. There we go. Now we have our sleeves and we are going to take it and fold it back up, and tuck it under the collar and there you have it, there's your origami shirt for your dollar bill. And my name is Robert Segundo and enjoy folding your origami money."
