- 1Place the bill on a flat surface, face up. Smooth it out as much as possible.
- If it’s too old and wrinkly, consider ironing it first.
- If it’s too old and wrinkly, consider ironing it first.
- 2Fold the top end down. Do it so that the fold falls just under the white edge. This covers the white edge and makes the finished ring a bit slimmer. Note that the front margins are different from the back margins!
- 3Fold the bottom end up. Do it the same as the top fold, to cover the white edge. The exact width for these two folds isn't critical, but try to keep them parallel with the edges of the bill.
- 4Fold the bill in half lengthwise. Bring the top and bottom edges you created together.
- 5Fold the bill in half lengthwise again. Run your fingernail or a pen over the fold to make it crisp and clean.

- 6Check your folds. They should look like this if you open up the end.
- 7Note that one of the small numbers should be facing out. Place it so that it's on your left, as shown.
- 8Fold the right end of the bill upwards (over itself). Form a 90-degree angle, about one-third of the total length. The placement of this fold can be adjusted to make the ring larger or smaller.
- 9Wrap the tab around the bill. Fold it straight down behind the bill.
- 10Turn the folded bill over, so that it is oriented as shown.
- 11Make the ring. Take the long end sticking out to the right, and curl it in a loop around the back. Pass the free end under the tab that is sticking down.
- 12Take the short part of the bill that's sticking out behind the tab, fold it across, over the angled fold on the outside of the ring.
- Arrange the number so it's on the outside, then tuck the end underneath. This is the "stone" or "top" part of the ring.
- Arrange the number so it's on the outside, then tuck the end underneath. This is the "stone" or "top" part of the ring.
- 13Fold the loose end that's still sticking down under and tuck it in under the "stone".
- 14Admire your good work.
- 15Finished.

What to do with a DOLLAR ? The Dollar Bill Shirt!
Now Seen on Pinterest
- 1Put a dollar bill on a table facing long ways with George Washington on top.
- 2Now, fold the dollar bill in half like a hot dog bun (making sure that the picture of George is on the inside).
- 3Unfold the dollar. Fold both of the sides into the middle crease from the first fold.
- 4Turn the dollar bill over and fold down the white part at the side near the edge.
- 5Turn it over again. At the same end, fold the corners into the middle line that is made by the two folds. This will be the collar. The exact angles are not critical.
- 6Fold the opposite end in as shown. This fold can cross the circular pattern to form a sort of "necklace"; see the front of the shirt in the next step. You can also adjust this fold to control the length of the finished shirt.
- 7Fold the same end that you just folded again, up the rest of the way so the bottom fits neatly under the “collar.” The collar holds this fold in place. You can get the best fit by tucking the end snugly under the collar and then sliding your finger to the bottom to form the crease.
- 8Make the sleeves.
- Unfold both of the folds you just made. Then slightly unfold the two
middle folds for the “sleeves.” Take one side at the bottom of the
dollar where you just made the fold in step 5. Pinch out a corner shape
(reverse the crease made in step 5 on the outer edge).
- Fold the side back into place with the “sleeve” sticking out.
- Make the other sleeve the same way.
- Unfold both of the folds you just made. Then slightly unfold the two
middle folds for the “sleeves.” Take one side at the bottom of the
dollar where you just made the fold in step 5. Pinch out a corner shape
(reverse the crease made in step 5 on the outer edge).
- 9Fold both of the upwards folds back under the collar, and now you have a collared shirt made out of a one dollar bill!
