Follow these easy steps to make some $tars of your own. You don't need to be an origami prodigy or anything, this is a simple way to creatively give the gift of money. It's also a cool way to try and save money because if it's folded up it may just be too pretty to take apart.
$tars can be made in either a 5 point or 6 point configuration and can use any denomination of bill.
If giving as a gift, an Origami Triangle Box (http://www.instructables.com/id/Origami-Triangle-Box/) or Origami Gift Box (http://www.instructables.com/id/Origami-Gift-Box/) would make the perfect vessel to present your gift in.
Hopefully the pictures explain well enough how to fold and connect the units but if you get stuck my commentary will be below the pictures. If you don't need to read it then don't, explaining origami is weird and will probably just get in the way if you understand the pictures already.

This on the other hand....
Are your "money trees" the flat kind that looks like a tree made of triangles or the 3D kind that looks like branches that you tie money onto?
What I did to get the coins to hang neatly was I made circular loops (slightly larger than the coin) out of very thin wire, twisted the ends together for about an inch and a half, and then trimmed and curved the twisted part in a J-shape, like a Christmas ornament hanger. Then, I dipped the loops into that really stinky tool-handle dipping stuff and hung them up to dry. I think I just taped them to the edge of the table. So, when they were dry, I set the coins in the middle and twisted the loop shut. Now to find the time and combine the two styles! :D

I do not see how this is not a copy of that one. I guess you have 2 designs but please credit people for their work.
I had searched if a star like this had been posted since I prefer to share projects that I haven't seen on here but nothing came up when I searched. I checked out the other person's Instructable and there are enough differences between the two to warrant both to exist. This is definitely not the first time to have multiple Instructables on essentially the same end product and I think it's a good thing because everyone learns differently and one may explain how to do it better than the other for that individual.
