Moneygami: Origami from Banknotes

Posted 6 Feb, 2008 under Art by Chris Baskind

Back in November, we introduced you to the gentle craft of moneygami — folding banknotes into interesting shapes — with this image of a U.S. $5 bill:

Now we’ve found a series of similar moneygami works which may actually be from the same creator. Take this fanciful treatment of a $1 bill:

George Washington

Another version of Abraham Lincoln, this time with a hat that looks a bit like the top of a soda can:

Abu Lincoln 2

Alexander Hamilton gets a clever hat:

It’s not all American money. Gandhi peeks out from within an Indian banknote:

And Lawrence of Arabia would be proud of this look:
