Dollar Origami F-18: Take 2 (Full Video)

Fold an F18 fighter jet from a single dollar bill. Expanded tutorial.

[@joann-jq4dv]

I made it to the 20 minute mark with little to no trouble but those little folds got me. I think I'll watch it through once and go back to try it out myself lol

[@DressYourHorse]

Your instructions are excellent and clear. I appreciate that you drew the lines and repeated some of the steps several times. It's on video so it'll be easy enough to play and replay as often as necessary. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

[@hannahbaldwin7248]

I don't know what everyone else is talking about, this worked great for me! The instructions weren't that clear, but he repeated them several times, and he even drew lines on the model to show us where to fold. Maybe it was easier for him because he was using a bigger, paper dollar, but it was still good. Thanks for this video!

[@babakhanoushii]

This is so, so much harder than it looks. I'm over here sweating over these tiny ass folds. But it's so rewarding.

[@davidxu6877]

Then get a bigger paper times the length and width of the money by 2 onto a blank paper

[@Yedude408]

This is awesome! Great instructions. It's not complicated at all. Unlike most people, I don't get frustrated. So thanks!

[@OldManEagan]

Love this origami model, it's a real eye catcher and conversation starter. Directions were clear, and not rushed, which is nice, because it's origami! I have made this model for years now and added a few improvments; 1 or 3 point landing gear, and a reshape on the horizontal stabilizers. 10/10 Tutorial. Thanks.

[@thebigbluevan]

@thebigbluevan If a part seems confusing, keep watching. I usually explain a step several times.

[@nanoswithabackbone232]

Not sure how you can explain better than that. I made one with ease watching your video. Super awesome!!! Thank you!!!

[@Jenna7241986]

You're a really good instructor - everything was so clear and you took your time explaining this complex folding project -thank you!

[@deelugo6837]

VERY good tutorial!!! I tried this one before and failed-a different video-you talking us through it really made it easier. Thank you.

[@dipensor]

I have this saved in one of my playlist for over 8 years now

[@spidermike98]

everybody shut up, damn, this guy was nice enough to us this cool stuff to show off ourselves, not to argue. Grow up.

[@Spicecarius]

If I didn't pay attention I would of been watching you fold for half an hour.

[@jrr4god]

This tutorial is so great and super helpful! I LOVED and was so THANKFUL how you explained every detail so clearly. The markings helped a lot! This was my first time trying it and I nailed it perfectly because of your instructions! I am gifting this plane to my Father; who, loves planes and I know he will be blown away! Thank you.

[@vinxsphinx8253]

Dude.

[@zippypenny]

Thank you so much. .I just made it and it looks awesome! Now to make it with a $20 for a 5 year old little boy stuck in the hospital with Leukemia. I know he will love the distraction, the money and the plane. Thank you for such clear directions!

[@GetSmartydontcha]

I hope the little boy recovered.

[@tchurlockdraggin]

You lost me in the turn, Maverick.

[@BrianO2A]

NO NEED TO PAY 30 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A F-18 KNOW,JUST A DOLLAR!THANK YOU!!!Now I shall fly my F-18.

[@thebigbluevan]

@nonkeybomb222 A US bill is about 6.7 cm x 15.7 cm. Doesn't need to be exact.

[@bibittanamansemarang770]

Awesome jet plane partner

[@trexStagemanager]

Love these videos I was giving money to a teenage boy and did not want to just give money so I decided to make it more creative.............Thanks

[@TheJTSniper98]

@thebigbluevan, thanks for the concern, it was a VERY clear tutorial but when it came to the wing folding step at 20:00, I tried to watch several times but still couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure what you could to fix that though. Thanks :)

[@mariovega2936]

U don't suck. I just cant do it with the bill I have... Ur an artist

[@swamp6825]

This is the first origami I’ve ever made! Turned out super cool thank you :D

[@tcakes4u]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Our Tooth Fairy brings origami dollars, and my son finally lost a tooth. She had no problems following it, and appreciates your time :D

[@jaron_ferrara]

Your son is a she?!?!?!?

[@robertmemmons]

+jaron ferrara Lol... No son lost a tooth fairy princess aka the mother 'SHE" made the airplane and her son appreciate it very much..! But that comment even though you already k were everything I just told you still cracked me up..Lol.

[@Сергей777-ф1б]

thanks for the video,this is the best that can be made from money,very accessible all showed,I even not knowing the language,as from Moscow,I understood everything,thank you again

[@AngyDragonfly]

I made 200 of these over the past 12 days......you can see a big difference from the first one to the last one.....I need a new hobby.

[@ilovejoelreynolds]

imagine he did not press record

[@snakevenom56]

Not the only one who first thought of it as a Mig-29!

[@spencerhopkins91]

awesome! very clear tutorial. the only hard thing i did was make it with AA Missiles

[@Patrick0Ames]

A) I want to meet the first person to figure this out and shake his hand and B) at 10:31 I came to the same result without doing the previous step you mentioned. I'm not trying to degrade your instruction but rather wondering how that would happen.

[@rhondajumber8739]

i have made three, thus is a great money making process and a very instructional video, Thanks!

[@thebigbluevan]

@reymatt76 Thanks for the comment, but don't count yourself out! Come back again after a couple weeks and try again. Sometimes it takes some time before things click.

[@jambo0204]

I did it!!!! It looks exactly the same as the one in the video. Nice video mate, it took me long, and it aint easy.

[@nanoman172]

ignore the haters. for anyone with a good amount of origami experience, this model is somewhat easy. thanks for the help!! =P

[@thebigbluevan]

@TheJTSniper98 What is the confusing part? Let me know, maybe I can clear things up.

[@Strigon01]

That looks more like a Mig 29 with those wings.... Either way very cool.

[@demover7]

*Starts folding along with the video*.... *looks at video length* *Pauses*.......... *puts dollar aside and click on a new video*

[@thebigbluevan]

@epicookies123 No, this model requires a rectangle. I guess you could fold the square into a rectangle first . . .

[@stevielick5819]

I thought it was a piece of cake!! I had fun making it, if I could upload a picture I would! Great instructions, they were ideal for me :)

[@thebigbluevan]

@808HardCore I'm sorry you feel that way. If you let me know what you found hard to understand, maybe I can help clear things up.

[@LadySyrelyn]

aw man, this is awesome. thank you! can't wait to try this tomorrow! lol i watched like 7 mins of it, i couldn't stop watching..then i snapped out of it and decided it was a good enough video for me to fallow so i hope i actually go through with making one of these tomorrow. again. Thank you! :]

[@LordQueezle]

Well I can't say my F-18 was as nice as yours but I am extremely satisfied with the way it turned out. :) Thanks for the tutorial!! (btw I also really love both tank designs!!!!) I am planning on doing a stop motion war with these. xD

[@Agamerfr0zed]

20mins in and I give up :( But hey I made a dollar snowball :0

[@tcongo24]

Thank you I personally would have to say this is one of the best tutorials I have ever used in dollargami and to and the comment about wasting twenty minutes made me chuckle he must have been fast forwarding through the video since it was 27 minutes long .....So how about a tutorial on the Won Park koy fish.....Once again nice job and thanks for taking the time...

[@clutchgames2165]

That was hard but really cool how the finished project is

[@amyelnora]

Great effort, but as the other commenters have pointed out, the explanations are not very clear. I paused and played, then rewind and do it again just to make sure I have it right. Most of the time I had to rely on what it looks like, rather than anything you said, because it's so confusing. By the time I got to 19mins, everything on mine was so different that I could no longer compare with yours. It was a great idea to use the larger money so that we can see better, but its not helpful for us to see the blank paper when you are folding. We need to know what the other side should look like too.

[@BrandonEnzweiler17]

This was really helpful you did a good job! The drawing of the folds helps alot also so keep up the good work!

[@jessynisa23]

Awesome did it first try and didn't mess up :) nice video thank you.

[@patchiasson7067]

Really wish you would use a real dollar bill the entire time. I have to follow the bill itself and once you turned it over, confusion set it. Yes, I know it would be smaller but easier for some of us.

[@Cams-garage]

That's awesome!! How did you learn to do that?

[@skyrising3832]

mine didn't turn out as good as yours but it was still pretty awesome, thank you :)

[@HeeroXKwon]

Thanks! Only took one try with your tut. Nice job o:

[@FlowSense544]

nice explanations, but origami is hard as hell, i am crying myself out right now because i messed up....thanks i will try this again!

[@thebigbluevan]

@TheBatmansbitch Even though origami is a step-by-step process, it's still an art and takes a lot of practice to perfect. Keep at it but try other models before coming back to one that gives you trouble. Like anything worthwhile, origami takes patience and persistence, but also gives you great rewards for your efforts! Keep folding!

[@lolaj6488]

Bills have different thickness, depending on the denomination

[@squarepotatoe]

This is a masterpiece! you're a genius! thanks.

[@purplehaze6t9]

WOW!!! THATS SOME EXSTREAM ORIGOMI FOLDING BRO. I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS A TRY I HOPE I CAN DO IT WISH ME LUCK LOL. THANK YOU. BEN...

[@MissThinkabunch]

Mine turned out fine. :) Thanks for the video.

[@iisadragon]

If I can throw it, and it goes forward, it’s flying Might be tumbling like hell, but it’s flying to me!

[@DuelPhantom]

Thanks a lot ! Instructions were clear and I made it no problem !

[@roeykey]

thanks allot i already made 3 of them the first two didn't come out as well as yours but the third one looked just like yours thanks

[@markhughes5574]

Now I can burp my worm and go to bed and dream about someone burping my worm

[@thebigbluevan]

@MrAverageJ0E The first one's always a little shaky. Keep folding!

[@GetSmartydontcha]

Too bad they don't fly. I'd make me a squadron of jet fighters and take out some bad guys! This video is awesome. Sorry for the jerks that use the internet forum to voice the idiocracy they'd get pounded for in real-life.

[@SircLiveEvents]

make sure to pause while you fold. if not, you will be saying: Wow! that escalated quickly..

[@wilescoful]

OMG WOW when i saw you video i went and got a $100 and didn't end tail 12:44! and i don't now haw you did that tutorial so good!??

[@666Lexxy]

great video thanks! :D i needed 1 hour to build my own

[@davidcolquitt9981]

Took me an hour (maybe longer) but I finally did it!! Thanks!!

[@Kahnartist112]

See now this is a "TUTORIAL" vid lol No confusion and points out all the parts I would have messed up.

[@lrpisme]

Great explanation. Thanks you made that easy.

[@ramsesbarrios6806]

Cool video it took me two days just to finish it I finish half and the other day I finished the other half cool

[@zhiarsarkawt5649]

YOU MAKE THIS SHIT MORE COMPLEX, DO THE SHIT AND LET US GET OVER IT!

[@adamko28]

i have the exact same picture of the bill printed i even checked the numbers on the bill exactly the same!!

[@Blackgam3r]

This is all the dollar is good for now

[@TheJTSniper98]

Also thanks, the other tutorial was confusing and fast, but this one is good.

[@ryanrm8547]

I think I was doing good all the way up the 18' mark and then it all went to hell on me. I have no idea what happened but I was folding 3 planes at a time and they are all messed up so I must have done the same thing wrong on all them. Thanks for posting these instructions though. I'll have to see if I can try it again or find something else to help.

[@BansheeHallow]

Looks more like a Mig-29, still cool.

[@tythescreamofan1]

got it on my first try AND looked good thanks so much man

[@rycao18]

there is some law with copying money that you have to use fake money and it only can be 1 sided or something like that... it explained the paper swithching paper and stuff

[@rycao18]

he tried to make it legal with all the laws, that explained the paper switching, and yea, it could have gone faster though

[@FlashKenTutorials]

I'm asian and I find this origami model pretty cool and easy :D problem?

[@MemeGnome]

That's a sexy MiG-29 you have there...

[@JEGV.]

The dollar rings impress the ladies more. 8 )

[@JuanCarlos-jv3uh]

Nice origami! I did it.

[@fossil98]

How in the piss do people actually work this stuff out in the first place. I am an atheist but if anything can convert me it is that Jesus was born to tell us the arcane black knowledge of how to make awesome shit with paper.

[@WordUnheard]

To say that my first attempt looks like shit would be an insult to shit.

[@godsofwar43]

good tutorial but many got lost. i did toward the end but i got it done. try talking a little more about what your doing and the purpose it has. also if possible try to make the video a little shorter

[@tylok02]

5 year old folds this and says : ugh so mutch drawing

[@dynamitedavedotcom]

I made one. Looks cool.

[@ZhenLiZhao]

19:50 This seems impossible! Though this guide so far is really helpful and perfect pace

[@lukassmarkovskis5088]

amazing. Looks like T50

[@1loves2laugh]

This is awesome - thank you for sharing :) I think all the little (and some big) boys in my life that get a cash gift will be getting one of these from now on. lol.

[@MakoEve]

How do you guys get confused on the fake bill? It's the same exact steps with just a different side of a bill.

[@PNTHRFKR]

But will it blend?

[@TheJTSniper98]

@thebigbluevan sorry about the earlier comments, i was kinda on a rage. Lol.

[@Jkheretic]

its really hard to get all the small folds at the end

[@KayaKrash]

that was awesome , :D I have my f18 on my shelf , thank u :)

[@fernsehgucker180]

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey

[@briannarizvi]

Got it on the first try :)

[@zzz7tj7zzz]

I LIKE TURTLES

[@briannarizvi]
