    Nice to stop by and see the updates on your dollar bill origami lens, Kimberly. Its been so long that the blessing had worn-off, but I blessed it again! - I do like to do origami on bills that I gift to friends and family, and they do think its great fun.

    Dollar Origami rules! This is a great resource to, cool videos too!
    There is an iphone app that has 3d dollar origami instructions. The app is for Balloon Animals but has some dollar origami shapes with 3d animation. I guess they will have a dollar origami only app sometime in the future.

    Totally awesome! My little brother died when he was 8.5 years old, cystic fibrosis. Because he had such difficulty breathing he found things to do that didn't require much energy. Origami was one of Ronnie's hobbies as a little boy. I can still picture that book that he used to teach himself how to make these amazing things from squares of paper.

    Thanks for bringing those memories back into focus. Nice lens!

    It is really fun to leave one or two of these as part of the tip when you eat out, the place always seems to remember you for years afterward. Ive even seen them on display near the register.

    It was one of my son's birthdays yesterday and I did some dollar origami for him as a gift. It really does start a whole conversation. Was thinking of this lens and wanted to thank you for giving me the idea Kimberly, it was a big hit.

    The only origami I can do from memory is a paper boat that my father taught me to make many many years ago. My daughter is always coming to me with bits of paper asking for a boat. I guess I should really learn some other origami as boats get a bit boring after a time.

    Great lens.
  • BritFun Mar 21, 2010 @ 12:31 pm | delete
    Haven't really done origami before (well not since I was a kid anyway) - but I tried it the other day: The game Heavy Rain on the PS3 is a mystery about finding the "Origami Killer" - and they give you some origami to do while the game installs. I nearly got stuck a couple of times - but managed it in the end. It was fun - so I might try some of these - (when I've finished playing the game!).
