Dollar Bill Ring Bling

Dollar Bill Ring Bling
How to create a ring out of a dollar bill, or any other US money, for that matter.

This is a continuation of my money origami series, started here. As with the previous one, massive credit goes to Clay, who put up the idea originally, along with much other money art.

Start with the side that reads "ONE" facing towards you on a flat surface. Like all money origami, a crisp bill will work best.

Flip the bill over, and fold the "white" edges on the top and bottom inward. Crease those folds, and return the bill to its original side.

I've been making dollar rings for a while, but i couldn't figure out how to make the 1 in the center of the ring... Then again I never put much thought into it. But thanks! :D

Pretty rad. I've done this before but I totally forgot - thanks for reminding me. It turns out the only crisp bill I had in my drawer was... a $2 bill! Glad the instructions worked for the $2 as well :) I found a benji in there that's pretty crisp as well. How about a hand full of rings of different denominations? AFAIK there would be seven. That's a lot. I suppose the 3 digits from the 100 would not fit very well (maybe on the thumb?).

I like taking things apart and figuring out how they work. I generally loose interest after that.
