Step 1Gotta have cash money

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.

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?
May 30, 2009. 7:22 AMrelay says:
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 $1 and 2$)

I'm planning on never washing the shirt in hot water and going on some sort of shrinking binge involving saran wrap, salt, and moonlit dancing. I'll wear that shirt one day! Does anyone have a "how to get smaller" instructable?
