Dollar Bill Animals in Origami Review & GIVEAWAY

Fold some green! Dollar Bill Animals in Origami by origami expert John Montroll features over 30 animal models folded with dollar bills. No US bills? Make some! On page 10 there are several easy ways to approximate the US dollar's proportions using square or rectangular paper. For example, make 3 rectangles for folding by dividing a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch printer paper into equal thirds. This very simple technique is shown below. Another option is to use 3 x 7 inch rectangles. I recommend making your own paper because learning the folds is easier with larger paper. There are 32 designs in total. Each has a rating of simple, intermediate or complex. Most are intermediate. These models are very detailed. They come with large, clear diagram instructions that conform to the internationally approved Yoshizawa-Randlett system. It's a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Essential pages on origami symbols and basic folds are included. The folding sequences of all designs are illustrated with white and gray paper, not dollar bills. Dedicated folders will love the challenges of this non-traditional origami! Dover Publications released the 128 page paperback on April 18 2018. Get your copy below!

  24. Look at the way my partner Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

    THESE are the exact same tactics many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know how you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that thought has even taken place INSIDE your own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years ago, while driving a non-registered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3 in his bank account.

    "I'm very fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've been a part of those those thoughts, right?

    Your very own success story is waiting to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
