A thing of beauty and artistry.
This is a fun gift idea that uses sixteen one dollar bills. We used eighteen because it was part of a bat mitzvah gift and the number eighteen symbolizes "chai" or life in the Jewish faith.
It was a little tricky getting started. We followed the instructions on this fabulous blog. I found her instructions the easiest to follow and her photos were a big help with the process.
Once we got the hang of it, the process went quickly.
It would make a fun Sweet 16 gift
or just a creative way to give cash to your favorite tween or teen.
Are you ready to try your hand at one?

Heather, are u guys Jewish? I see you mention Bat Mitzvah but I also see a few Easter posts....
@Chanalesings- no we are not and I love when my kids get to experience other religious celebrations and services.

this is so much better than just giving the cash (but sometimes that's really what they want, I love the added specialness) I'd love it if you'd add this to my link party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com/2011/11/link-party-what-we-wore-and-made_29.html
What a great idea for a gift. I remember making these bracelets with gum wrappers! Happy Seasonal Sunday!
Very cool! My husband makes origami "shirts" and leaves them as part of the tip in the restaurants we frequent.
How clever and you've done a good job showing how to!
