Step 21: Answering Four Questions

1. What did you make? A: I made a shirt and tie oragami out of paper money.
2.How did you make it? A: I got this idea that I read online long time ago. It's a very neat tutorial and I would like to share this tutorial through my own words and pictures.
3. Where did you make it? A: I made this oragami at home. This project connects with other activities in my life because I've been making and selling oragami stars. I love making things with arts and crafts. I'm also selling beanies to many students at my high school. I know how to make a plain, domo, superman, glaceon, my school's logo, and bunny beanies.
4. What did you learn? A: I learned that I can make anything if I put my heart into it. The most challenging part of making this oragami is the precise angling and creasing of the dollar. I am proudest of the fact that I put my time to show this wonderful oragami because it's unique and rarely made by people. If I would do it again, I would use a different dollar bill.
