HOW TO MAKE A SHIRT OUT OF A FIVE DOLLAR BILL

This was the only blog of mine anyone seemed to enjoy or care much about, so it's the only one I'm restoring.

here's a link to more money origami

i tired to do it
i failed miserably
i think the bills need to be crisp

numbb on Apr 04 '06 at 11:21pm

OH MY GAH

that is so cute. useless, but cute.

rrich76 on Apr 04 '06 at 11:22pm

very useless :)

loserbeech on Apr 04 '06 at 11:26pm

I don't understand how you get from step 4 to step 5 without ripping it.

rholliday on Apr 04 '06 at 11:27pm

It's almost an airplane, with some last minute changes. I like it. :)

rrich76 on Apr 04 '06 at 11:29pm

loser beech....I did rip it to make it flat for the scanner, the idea is you fold it back on itself like that to be able to do the sleeves, but you can't actually get it that flat, nor do you have to

loserbeech on Apr 04 '06 at 11:32pm

Ahhhhhhh, I see.

Well my attempt turned out laughably. I would blame the fact that I'm using a £10 note instead of dollars, but my friend can do it perfectly well with our funny money. It's just me.

rholliday on Apr 04 '06 at 11:36pm

Yeah, mine was rough, too. It had triangular sleeves. Oh well, origami was never really my thing.

rrich76 on Apr 04 '06 at 11:37pm

I like your money better, ours is boring

loserbeech on Apr 04 '06 at 11:41pm

Yeah, I like ours too. My shirt has half a hummingbird, a flower, and a ship on the front, and Darwin on the back.

I don't get what's supposed to happen between step 4 and 5.

loserbeech on Apr 04 '06 at 11:44pm

Ignore step 5, just go from step 4 to 6 by opening it a little bit and pulling the sleeves out, then closing it.

if anyone trying this has troubles, go to that web page I put under the picture, his instructions are better, plus you can learn to make a sweet spider

ha, that was fun.

I wish I had a benjamin shirt.

Please note that this will NOT work with singles, tens, twenties, or any other bills.

numbb on Apr 05 '06 at 12:12am

whaat? why will it not work with the other bills?

rrich76 on Apr 05 '06 at 12:18am

facetiousness, pure facetiousness

ShineOfObscurity on Apr 05 '06 at 12:20am

I was lying. I tend to do that.

numbb on Apr 05 '06 at 12:22am

i did it! i found a 5 in my backpack and i made one and boy is it cuute :)

jpiatt on Apr 05 '06 at 12:41am

Dude, if you turn this idea into a design, $5!!!!!!!

India on Apr 05 '06 at 12:41am

um. i made a long sleeve.

how the fuck did i manage that.

rrich76 on Apr 05 '06 at 2:31am

I'm going to sleep. but here's another look at this silliness for those who are staying on

mindtrance on Apr 05 '06 at 7:31am

You should have seen the face of the lady when I paid for my dry cleaning with a $20 like this.

stingerstyler on Apr 05 '06 at 7:38am

hey, that's pretty neat!

0rchid on Apr 05 '06 at 10:49am

excellent :)

works great with thai 20 baht notes too, since you end up with a group of men standing sideways along the shirt, aligned near-perfectly to the righthand side. and also the two sides of the note in step 1 have a continuing image by design, which is rather nifty.
anyway, you'll see what i mean if you have a 20 baht note!

(optional extra: the ability to tell people you can make a thai shirt for less than 30p (or just over 50 cents) without even a hint of a sweatshop)

amigovirgen on Apr 05 '06 at 10:50am

i can do that whit a cigarret box

RyanSargent on Apr 05 '06 at 10:52am

if you run a crease up the edges that are in the middle it puts cuffs on the sleeves.

I've seen those "hidden" 20$ things before. Somehow I find myself unable to believe there's any kind of connection... call me skeptical, but I put them in the same category as newspaper horoscopes and that "money house blessing" air freshener.
