How To Make A Money Origami Shirt

Origami Guru Sam Tsang demonstrates how to make an impressive and adorable t-shirt using nothing but a bank note and some finely tuned origami skills.

This is how you make a bank note T-shirt. Now, we're going to fold a bank note and we're going to make a T-shirt out of this. In origami, you don't need to use square paper - you can fold it from any shape and certain models are quite good being folded from bank notes.

First of all, take a nice clean bank note and fold it in half lengthwise. Open it up, then fold the edges into the middle so you get quarters. Open it back up.

So, so far, we did half and then quarters. Now, we're going to fold a third, so you're going to fold a third this way, about one third of the way down. Turn it over, and now we're going to fold these parts back in.

Now, we're going to concentrate on this side of the model. Turn it over, and we're just going to fold about five millimeters up. Turn it back over.

Now, we're going to fold the collar of the T-shirt and we're going to do that by folding these two points into that line there. We're not folding into a sharp point, we're actually folding it so the top is flat. So, we want to fold that point to there, like so.

Repeat on the other side so they meet in the middle. Now, we're going to do the sleeves. We're just going to fold this point outwards and along that point to that point.

Repeat on the other side. To finish it, I'm just going to fold this collar to meet the top of the T-shirt. Just fold it in half and then push this part into the edge of the collar, then we're just going to pinch at the bottom to make the fold and you have a ten pound T-shirt.

And that was how you make a bank note T-shirt. .
