Easy and fun for ages 10 and up, June 2, 2010
This review is from: Easy Dollar Bill Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
I brought this book home at the start of a 3-day weekend at a cabin without TV or Internet. It helped keep both kids happy for hours. Most of the models my 10 and 11 year old's could do without any help from me. While you can cut pieces of paper to the right size and shape to practice with, using actual dollar bills is more fun. At one point, I was running out to the store to grab something we needed for dinner, and my 10 year old wanted me to pick her up a candy-bar on the way. She handed me a dollar-frog to a pay for it!
Younger children could do these models also, but would need guidance as precise folds make the outcome better looking.

Easy to fold simple models, May 10, 2010
This review is from: Easy Dollar Bill Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
Easy to fold simple models. 22 of the models require 12 or fewer folds and the most complex, 18 folds. The resulting model is usually a caricature of the item. Two exceptions are the butterfly and the jumping frog. Both look as good as others I've seen, while still being easy to fold. As a plus, I should be able to remember a few of the designs for on the spot folding. This is a good book for beginners, but I wouldn't call it a beginner book. It is a good addition to the dollar bill origami library.

Worth Every Penny!, January 5, 2011
This review is from: Easy Dollar Bill Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
I purchased this book with a little gift money and I'm really glad I did.
I wanted QUICK, SIMPLE but RECOGNIZABLE money figures that I can give to our porters on the cruise ships I entertain on. This book makes giving dollar bill gifts fun, for me AND for the porters/waiters that receive them.
I was thrilled to find out how many figures are taught in this book: 32 models! For $5.00, to me that is an excellent bargain!
I will be recommending this book to all of my origami friends, due to its easy-to-follow instructions, and how nice each item turns out.
