Dollar dollar bills y'all, or how to make a dollar into a tiny shirt.

Massive credit goes to Clay, who put up the idea originally, along with much other money art.

Step 1: Gotta have cash money

Get a dollar.

(Don't steal it though, as that would be wrong, and I'll judge you. Begging is okay, but if you're going to beg, you should do something for people in return, like hum the national anthem.)

Place dollar face up.

One word: How?

Great pictures, thank you! I've been meaning to look these up for some time, but keep forgetting. Logged onto Instructables, and here you are!

Wonderful for making up a batch ahead of time in different denominations for tips.

Thanks!

Ooo neat. At first I thought it was an actual tea shirt.

But I guess it would go well on a mouse or a Barbie doll or something.

First off... I don't remember what I meant in that comment... and second off, how the frig is that annoying?
Flumpkins says: Apr 17, 2009. 8:22 PM
Oh yeah, because I was using a 5.
darth acexxacer says: Apr 17, 2009. 11:13 PM

Flumpkins says: Apr 18, 2009. 7:29 AM
What the hell are you talking about? I only posted on that one.
darth acexxacer says: Apr 18, 2009. 9:20 AM
I overexagerated you posted on one other step but still neither one of your posts were helpful in any way
freakyqwerty says: Dec 11, 2010. 11:09 AM

I had known how to do this for a while... however i forgot and this reminded me. It makes and excellent tip. We usually use another dollar bill to prob it up by making a stand of some type to prop it up. We actually had a waiter run out the restaurant.. and asked us about it.. anywho... great instructable, thanks for the reminder.

do u think it would work with a 5 dollar note cause i live in Australia and our notes dont fold as good
relay says: Nov 22, 2007. 2:19 AM
I made mine with a $20 Australian (I also live in Aust.) our money is made of plastic so its hard to fold

Is our money made of plastic?
relay says: May 30, 2009. 7:22 AM
Yep, aust was the first country to use plastic notes. Australia also prints money for other countries

more info: http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/currency.html

@jeffreyf our notes are all the same height but get longer as the value increases $5 is our shortest and the $100 is the longest (we have coins for $1 and 2$)
Jsquared24 says: Feb 2, 2012. 12:01 PM
Im amazed! I live in australia, and i cannot believe how you made that! Aussie money is hard to fold!
jeffreyf (author) says: Feb 7, 2007. 1:23 PM
It would work with any US note. They're all the same size. I don't know about the Austrialian dollar, but I'm sure you can play around with it.
Devan campbell says: Oct 19, 2010. 6:49 AM

Vertigo666 says: Feb 7, 2007. 3:44 PM
