How to fold a bill into a shirt: step by step instructions
The process of making a shirt from a bill is pretty simple. Take a suitable bill and conditionally divide it in width into 4 parts. After that, fold the two outer parts to the center.
Fold the bill on the right 1/2 cm. This is more convenient and easier to do, focusing on the border between the white edge and the pattern on the banknote. Such a lapel will serve as a collar for a future shirt.
Then fold the right and left corners of the collar towards the center. Divide the bill into 3 equal lengths. Bend the bottom third up. Make sure that all the borders of the banknote are clear, then your craft will look neat.
Fold the bill again so that its lower part goes under the collar as much as possible. Its corners will hold the resulting rectangle. As a result, you should have a sleeveless shirt. In order to make this detail, once again lower the rectangle down, then straighten the side parts in its lower third. Then fold the sleeves over the fold line on the bill and fold the piece back to the collar.
So, your gift item is ready. If you have a few more minutes to spare, you can decorate it with a tie. To do this, take a small piece of brightly colored, contrasting color or a colorful note with sticky tape. Then cut off a narrow strip. Its width should not exceed the width of the collar. Gently fold back the collar and insert a strip of paper under it. Cut a tie out of the same sheet. You can make it long and narrow or wide and short as you like.
Now start decorating the shirt from the bill. Use a paper clip to make it easier to decorate. With it, you can fix both the sleeve and the collar. Using glue, join the two ends of the colored paper strip. This must be done very carefully, since the glue, when it hits the bill, can damage it. That's all, it remains only to glue the tie to the shirt from the bill.
If you plan to present the craft to a woman, you can omit the stage with the sleeves of the product and the tie. The collar of the resulting sleeveless blouse can be decorated with a small cute bow.
There is a popular belief that any money should be handled carefully and accurately. Of course, someone might say that handicrafts made from bills are blasphemy, but such a shirt can turn into a bill again in just a few seconds.
This product can be used as a key fob by placing it in a plastic case. You can also wear a shirt from a bill in your wallet as a talisman that attracts the energy of money to you.
