Last year my husband attended a business meeting for work and came home with a dollar bill that was folded up to look like a swan. Why you might ask? The employees had to take a course on arts & crafts and how they can be used to reduce work-related stress. From that time forward he has taken an interest in Dollar Bill Origami.
* Complimentary Book Received for Review.
Recently my husband received a brand new book titled “Dollar Bill Animals in Origami” by John Montroll. ISBN: 9780486824062 It’s a soft-cover book containing 120 pages.
Book Synopsis: Using the familiar rectangular shape as a base, Dollar Bill Animals in Origami offers easy-to-follow diagrams for folders at every level of expertise, from beginner to expert. You may use actual dollar bills or any paper cut to the same proportions to create a stunning display of animals of land, air, and sea: giraffe, unicorn, dinosaur, parrot, owl, shark, and many others. Also included are pictures of each completed project and instructions for basic folds. With this innovative book an exciting journey in origami art is as close as the nearest dollar.
About the Author: John Montroll has consistently expanded the limits of the ancient art of paper folding. Now in this exciting volume of more than 30 original models, the world-renowned origami master departs from the traditional square form and crafts each creation from an ordinary dollar bill.
Our Thoughts: My husband sat down with his new book and spent an evening going through it. He read up on the techniques used and marked some of the pages in the book on the animals that he would like to make. One of the things he really likes about this instructional book is the easy-to-follow diagrams. Each diagram walks you step-by-step through making the animal. In the back of the book you’ll find a section that teaches you some of the basic folds used in Origami and he suggests you start there. It’s a really cool book and he’s been having a lot of fun with it. Heck, he’s been teaching our 9 year old granddaughter some of the easier designs to make. She’s loving it too!
