I thought that it would be fitting that since I will become a lawyer in the near future, a bow-tie made from a $1 note would be the perfect origami to make for this Monday Money Magic. Here are the instructions:
Step 1. Find a crisp note that you don't mind folding
Step 2. Fold in half, length-wise with the face on the outside of the bill.
Step 3. Fold corners to the center of the bill.
Step 4. Fold the outer side lengths into the center of the bill.
Step 5. Take the ends of the bill and fold in half
Step 6. Fold the ends to the center, then flip the bill and do the same to the other side so that there are folds on each side
Step 7. This is the tricky part, the folds that you made in "Step 6" need to go on the inside as you see on the right side of the note in the picture
Step 8. Next take the bill and fold over the triangle that you just made (see photo)
Step 9. Fold each of the four ends of the note to the center of the note as in the picture, with 2 of the corners folded to the center on each side.
Step 10. Carefully open the note from the ends, and as you pull the ends you will notice the square "tie knot" of the bow-time coming through, this is also tricky but see the pictures.
Step 11. Once the "knot" is made, flatten it out with your fingers and "tada" you have a bow-tie made from money!
