5 Pointed Modular Money Origami Star Instructions

Welcome to our origami money star guide. The first step is to get a dollar bill of your choice then find a flat surface wherein you could begin folding the bill. Then make a horizontal crease mark by folding the bill in half crosswise and unfolding after.

Fold the dollar bill lengthwise in half. Crease it well but don't unfold.

Make another vertical crease mark by fold by bringing the right edge of the topmost layer to the left edge. See image above on how it should look like.

Then unfold the dollar bill. The creases made should look something like this. Bring the corners of the right side of the dollar bill to the middle crease made in the first step.

Bring the right corner to the leftmost vertical crease line. Follow the yellow dots as shown above.

Once folded it it should look something like this. Flip the dollar bill to the other side.

Bring the right corners to the horizontal crease line. Fold it along the dashed lines as shown.

Bring the top and bottom corners to the horizontal crease line again. Diagonally fold the corners towards the middle.
