My spouse Helen recently stumbled across the fascinating world of moneygami, origami using paper money. Some of the more clever designs even highlight the portrait of the person on the bill.
It seems to be one of those niche hobbies that the Internet facilitates, although I am sure it far predates the Web. Helen has collected a number of moneygami links over at her site, though she usually deals with more serious financial matters. Check them out just for the clever designs, or try one of the how-to videos yourself or with the kids.
Helen suggests leaving tips in moneygami shapes. I’m thinking the next time the Tooth Fairy visits our son, she just might leave a tooth-shaped gift. (Or maybe a toothbrush. I could probably handle that.)
