This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)

Ever leave a tip for a waiter? Ever hand a hairdresser a couple bucks? Ever forget to get that "special gift" for someone's birthday?
This book is what you need. pull out a buck and fold one of these designs and impress all around. (Because some of these shapes are rather complicated, try what I do. I learn one shape a week and keep them foleded in my wallet as to be for quick and easy retrival. And when there is free time, fold some green!)
I have learned a Camel, Rooster, and Penguin so far and use them for almost any occasion.

This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)

This book has a terrific variety of animals that can be made out of dollar bills, assuming you already have some knowledge of origami

Finally you can whip out a bill at a bar and produce a realistic-looking rendition of your favorite horse, rabbit, gazelle or dinosaur.

This book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST OF ALL ORIGAMI BOOKS, Jan 14 2002

By

Ann Pate (Plainfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)

I received the Dollar Bill Animals in Origami by John Montroll as a gift and its one of the finest books in my collection. I want to make all the animals shown in the book and display them. I tried the elephant and found the instructions to be crisp and clear. I am sure the kangaroo, camel and the giraffe will take some more effort. But the trick is in doing a few steps at a time and repeating them over a few times and then proceeding. That way the steps are automatically memorized too!
