Money Origami Ninja Star Tutorial -Dollar Bill Shuriken

Money Origami Ninja Star Tutorial from Dollar Note
A very fun way to throw your money around!
There are already quite a few Instructables showing how to make origami ninja stars but none that I could find using dollar bills. Though making these with dollar bills is pretty much the same as with paper, there are a few differences so I decided to show how I make them.
Hopefully the pictures and captions explain how to fold these but I've provided written explanation as well. If you can fold them just using the pictures then don't read the text (it's boring) but know that it's there incase you get stuck.
Usually when I make a ninja star I start from the ends of the bill and work in. When I tried to make one out of dollar bills I realized that they have to folded from the center instead because of the different dimension of the bill versus a 1:2 sided rectangle. To get the 1:2 ratio, part of the bill has to be doubled up. I thought of folding this part from the start but I later figured out a better time to do it that provided a fold guide.

Once he pulled out a second one I gave up

[@Yourlocalidiot14]

Same💀

[@Skild_]

Absolutely 😂!

[@aiciduwu]

i didn’t 😭😭

[@nazzmy3934]

Same 😂😂😂

[@omarvaldez3465]

It,s

[@mich5131]

When you’ve finished folding the paper at 3:20, than u realize u gotta do it *once more…*

[@B3anKing]

The pain is real even if the ninja star isn't

[@UrLocalVS]

I hated my life when he pulled up that one

[@FoldnCrease]

It can be a bit of a surprise when tutorials require additional folds or steps, especially when you're already invested in the process. But think of it this way-each fold is a new opportunity to refine your skills and create something beautiful. Take it one step at a time, and remember that the end result will be worth the extra effort! 🌟📐

[@cooterclappa3441]

I tried this with a 5, finished the first one then got sad because I only have one bill on me fmL... I was all excited too.. stoned vibing

[@FoldnCrease]

It sounds like you were really getting into the groove of folding! Don't worry, origami is all about creativity and adaptability. Perhaps you can try again later when you have more bills on hand, or even experiment with different paper types or sizes. Plus, it's all about enjoying the process, so keep vibing and having fun with your origami adventures! 🌟🎨

[@squaresoralfetish]

Omg. I came here because I wanted to make something cool to put inside my two boys' 13th Easter egg. I'm now irritated with myself at how long this took me to make two of them. And also irritated with every boy I've ever met including my husband for making a bazillion of these, launching them directly at me and then never showing me how to make them. 🤣 All I knew how to make were hearts and the fortune telling device. 😂

[@squaresoralfetish]

Thank you for making this video, btw.

[@FoldnCrease]

I understand that it can be frustrating when things take longer than expected, especially when trying to create something special for your boys' Easter eggs. Remember, your effort and intention behind the gesture are what truly matter. Take pride in the fact that you took the time to craft something unique for them. They'll appreciate the thought and effort you put into making their Easter celebration extra special. Keep up the good work, and don't be too hard on yourself! 🌟🥚

[@Jay-uo3cc]

frustrated at how slow this guy was, mad because i realized i needed to make multiple, maybe a few years later lol i dont got the energy for this rn

[@aiciduwu]

😐😐

[@FoldnCrease]

It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when faced with unexpected challenges or realizations during a tutorial. Remember, crafting should be a source of enjoyment and relaxation, not stress. If you're feeling overwhelmed or lacking energy, it's perfectly okay to take a break and come back to it later when you're feeling more motivated. Your well-being is important, so prioritize self-care and tackle the project at your own pace. And who knows, perhaps in a few years, you'll feel more inspired and ready to take on the challenge again with renewed energy and enthusiasm! Take care! 🌟💖

[@joseanimates1269]

I remember a friend who used to make one for me back in 2008 I was like 13 yrs. who knew these origamis are that old.

[@FoldnCrease]

It's amazing how memories of origami creations can bring back nostalgic feelings! Origami has been around for centuries, with roots in various cultures around the world. It's incredible to think that something as timeless as paper folding can evoke such fond memories. Who knows, maybe it's time to pick up some paper and try folding one yourself for old times' sake! 🌟📄

[@FoldnCrease]

Indeed! It's amazing how origami artistry endures over time. Thanks for sharing that nostalgic memory! Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

[@guskohlin5347]

strip clubs will never be the same now that I know this

[@FoldnCrease]

Haha hope you like it

[@FoldnCrease]

Watch out strip clubs, there's a new currency in town! Introducing the Shuriken Showdown - where dollars become deadly weapons! 💸🥋💥" 😂

[@benricePDXHustle]

YOU NEED 2!

[@andycane.]

😂😭

[@nocryzone7586]

thanks for the info

[@MrRapperj]

Bruh I need 2 bills????? People kept asking what I was doing and I told them “just you wait” while I sneaked to watch and follow the steps till he brought out a second bill. Now I’m sat here having gone through several steps to make a rhombus 🤦‍♂️

[@FoldnCrease]

I get it, sometimes these steps can catch you by surprise! 😅 For this particular design, you only need one bill. Let's get back on track and complete it together. Feel free to pause and rewind the video as needed. Thanks for your patience and happy folding! 🌟

[@gmax758]

😊

[@Lilli_taylors.version_]

I DID IT! I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED

[@FoldnCrease]

[@imboredsonowimdirt7049]

I made this for my great grandparents

[@WizrdLord]

Well done! Easy to follow and very similar to the paper ninja star instructions.

[@FoldnCrease]

[@TheAncientOak]

[@FoldnCrease]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and found the lesson helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy folding! 🌟🎉

[@fenwaabifarin5625]

Cool Ninja star

[@stevensantana4552]

Once I made the 2 pairs was very hard to see how he combined them gave up.

[@FoldnCrease]

I totally get that. Sometimes, the combination step in origami can be a bit tricky to follow, especially if the instructions aren't clear or if it's your first time trying a particular pattern. If you ever decide to give it another shot, you might find it helpful to pause the video at key moments or look for alternative tutorials that break down the combination step in more detail. And remember, practice makes perfect! Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out the first time. Keep trying, and you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Plot Twist 3:20

[@FoldnCrease]

Ah, the plot thickens at 3:20! Plot twists can add an unexpected layer of excitement to any tutorial. Whether it's a surprising fold or an unforeseen turn of events, embracing the twist can make the journey even more thrilling. Keep watching and see where the unfolding story takes you! 🌟🌀

[@jadelopez8728]

I really despise clickbait. Why would you put easy and it requires two separate bills

[@FoldnCrease]

I apologize if you found the title misleading or if it didn't accurately reflect the difficulty level of the origami project. Titles are often used to attract attention, but it's important for them to be clear and truthful. I understand your frustration with clickbait, and I'll make sure to pass along your feedback. If you have any other concerns or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, please let me know. Your feedback is valuable!

[@lucyolivia8733]

I just ruined 2 dollar bills for a christmas gift. Thanks a lot for making this as hard as u possibly could.

[@helens5946]

I actually thought the directions were pretty simple and straightforward. was able to make in 10 minutes.

[@aiciduwu]

@@helens5946 it really was simple

[@user-zk5hp3iz2t]

Chill out. It’s not that deep

[@Ananya9553]

chill you could've used half a square paper it works the same

[@FoldnCrease]

I'm sorry to hear about your frustration. Origami can be challenging, especially with valuable currency. Remember, practice makes perfect, and mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. If you're open to it, perhaps you could try again with regular paper until you feel more confident with the folds. Don't be too hard on yourself-keep practicing and you'll improve over time! 🌟📄

[@tntcanon911]

I only have one dollar dammit!!!

[@FoldnCrease]

Having only one dollar on hand can certainly pose a challenge when attempting origami tutorials that require multiple bills. However, don't let it discourage you! You can still create amazing origami designs with just one bill. Perhaps you can explore other tutorials that are tailored to single-bill designs, or even get creative and invent your own unique creations. Remember, limitations often spark creativity, so embrace the challenge and see where your imagination takes you! 🌟🎨

[@aiciduwu]

Simple tutorial, nice video overall 😊

[@FoldnCrease]

We're glad to hear that you found the tutorial simple and enjoyed the overall video! Thank you for your feedback and for watching. If you have any suggestions for future tutorials or topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to let us know. Happy crafting! 🌟📜

[@KPE4]

[@Ghosty_VRx]

3:35 wait what

[@FoldnCrease]

At 3:35, you might find yourself pausing to catch your breath or to reassess the unfolding steps. It's common to encounter moments of surprise or realization during tutorials, especially when unexpected twists occur. Take your time to absorb the new information, and don't hesitate to rewind or replay the segment if needed. You're on a creative journey, and every twist adds to the excitement of the process! 🌟🔄

[@iceycinco]

I got like to like 2:45 & I was like fuck this I’m thru 😤

[@FoldnCrease]

It sounds like you reached a point where frustration took over, and that's completely okay! Sometimes, projects can feel overwhelming or not align with our expectations. Remember, it's okay to step away and take a break if something isn't working for you. Your well-being is important, and it's better to come back to it with a fresh perspective when you're feeling ready. Take some time for yourself, and don't hesitate to explore other activities or hobbies that bring you joy. You've got this! 🌟💪

[@8Voey8]

3:35 1940

[@jhoematapuncho4327]

Hubiera empezado por decir que se necesita dos billetes

[@FoldnCrease]

Mis disculpas por cualquier confusión. Es cierto que algunos modelos de origami, especialmente los más complejos, pueden requerir más de un billete. Si estás haciendo referencia a un diseño específico que mencioné y olvidé indicar que necesitas dos billetes, lamento la omisión. Para obtener los mejores resultados, es importante seguir las instrucciones del tutorial específico que estás siguiendo. Si tienes preguntas sobre un diseño en particular o necesitas más detalles, estaré encantado de ayudarte en lo que pueda. ¡Gracias por señalarlo!

[@nancykamnitsis9282]

I spent 15 minutes on this only to find out that TWO bills were needed. Why not point that out in the beginning???

[@FoldnCrease]

Hello! apologize for the misunderstanding! We will do in the next video

[@jannybee2012]

Damn. 2 times??

[@FoldnCrease]

It can be frustrating when unexpected challenges arise, especially when attempting a tutorial multiple times. Remember, each attempt is a chance to learn and improve. Take a moment to regroup, breathe, and approach it with a fresh perspective. You've got this! Keep at it, and you'll conquer the folds in no time. 🌟📄

[@mrt846]

Really two… should have read the comments.

[@FoldnCrease]

Yes. I see. I will improve next time

[@carmenchavez8834]

Bro I didn’t know u needed two it’s hard I quit !!$!

[@FoldnCrease]

Hey there! Don't give up just yet! We understand that origami can be tricky, especially when it comes to more advanced designs like the ninja star. Don't hesitate to practice a bit more and watch the tutorial closely. You'll get the hang of it in no time! Remember, patience and persistence are key. Keep at it, and you'll be folding ninja stars like a pro in no time! 💪🌟

[@CocinarYjugar]

On 2:56 ones he turns it around it looks different anyone saw that iam like so the same as him and on that time it looks different ???

[@FoldnCrease]

Hi, You just open the petal then the shape will appear as in video

[@matousnemec9100]

3:36 looks kinda familiar😩

[@FoldnCrease]

It's not uncommon to encounter similarities in folding techniques, especially in origami tutorials. The method demonstrated at 3:36 may resemble techniques used in other tutorials or even traditional origami designs. Origami is a versatile art form with many variations and interpretations. Embrace the familiarity and enjoy the process of creating something unique! 🌟

[@FJfishin]

You need 2

[@PaulK390S90V]

YOU NEED 2!!! WTH! lol.

[@FoldnCrease]

Haha, yes, you'll need two for a proper ninja duel! It's all part of the fun and challenge. Happy folding!

[@henrymartinez3817]

When I get to 3:35 gotta play that back half speed. But I got it within 5-7 min 😊

[@FoldnCrease]

That's great ! Hope you like it

[@charlesschwartz7284]

Damn I suck at geometry :/

[@MegaMega22]

What’s the ninja star made out of for some reason it looks like money😂

[@FoldnCrease]

If a ninja star looks like it's made out of money, it's possible that it's crafted from a dollar bill or similar currency through the art of origami

[@majinblue0111]

I would tear the ends off on paper to make a star lmao

[@7szzhl1]

The swastika:

[@yeseniarodriguez8042]
