There is a whole direction in origami - folding figures from banknotes. It even got its name "manigami". Craftsmen put together a wide variety of figures, but the most popular is the cash shirt, which can become a wonderful talisman and an original gift.
Short sleeved cash shirt
To fold the shirt, take a new bill of any denomination. Lay it vertically on a flat surface and mentally divide it into 3 parts horizontally. Fold the bottom up and iron the fold carefully with your fingers.
If you are not confident in your abilities so as not to spoil the bill, first practice folding money shirts on a plain sheet of paper.
Flip the banknote so that the folded side lies on the surface. Fold it vertically in half, iron the fold with your fingers and unbend it, so the middle of the bill is indicated. Fold both sides in half towards this line.
Make shirt sleeves. To do this, bend the bottom edges at an angle on each side. Flip the banknote. Step back about 5-7 mm from the top edge of the bill and fold the strip down. Iron the fold with your fingers.
Now make the collar of the shirt. To do this, turn the note over so that the bottom folded edges are towards you. Then bend the top edges at an angle to the middle.
Fold the bottom edge of the bill up and fold it under small corners that imitate the collar of a shirt. Iron the fold of the paper thoroughly.
Cash shirt with tie
The work can be complicated and make a cash shirt with a tie. To do this, fold the banknote in half vertically. Then fold each half in half towards the midline again. Expand the bill.
A cash shirt with a tie looks very impressive if you fold it out of the dollar.
Bend the top corners towards the middle, as you would when folding an airplane. Fold the resulting triangle. Form a tie. To do this, determine its width and bend it slightly in the middle on both sides of the triangle vertex.
Fold the bill in vertical lines towards the middle, and fold the edges behind the folds for the tie. Bend a strip approximately 5 mm wide from the opposite end.
Flip the banknote. Fold the bill about one third horizontally. On the opposite side, fold the corners towards the middle, forming the shirt collar.
Bend the bill horizontally and place it with a tie towards you. Bend the sides at a 45-degree angle on either side of the resulting horizontal line. There should be a kind of notch in the middle.
In the same way, bend both sides at an angle on the opposite side of the note. Fold the structure horizontally at the folded corners on the collar side. Align the edges, iron all folds carefully.
Turn the workpiece over with the tie away from you and bend it in half. Then flip the cash shirt right side to you and straighten the corners of the collar.
