Butterfly origami: a simple scheme from a bill and from modules with photos and videos in photos.
Already in kindergartens, children are taught to make various paper crafts. One of these products, which are very common, is products made in the origami style. For small crafts, they should be simple, so the master classes provided in this article show how to make an origami butterfly. A simple scheme will help to understand even those who have never met such creativity. And with such interesting and bright butterflies you can decorate any room by sticking it on the wallpaper, attaching it to the curtains. Such an activity with a child perfectly develops his fine motor skills and fantasies, which is undoubtedly important for the baby.
In addition, such moths began to be used to decorate bouquets of flowers, greeting cards. And now let's move on to simple lessons with which you can learn how to make very bright and beautiful origami butterflies.
banknote insect
Many people know butterflies in the origami style from ordinary colored paper, but there is no limit to the fantasies of creative people. And so moths made from banknotes began to appear. Of course, one should not think that such jewelry is made from real money, they are most likely from fakes, but they look quite interesting.
In this master class, it is proposed to make a manigami butterfly from a banknote. Not only ordinary colored paper can become the basis for beautiful products, but also money.
Let's start creating a butterfly. We take the selected banknote and bend the upper part diagonally in half, as is done in the photo below. Next, unfold and do the same, but on the other hand, look at photo number 3. Now we need to bend the bottom strip of paper.
Then we unfold and bend the two folds that have formed. Denyushka should become shorter. Now fold in half and across, and also along.
Now we need to bend the corner of the bill, which is the left one, raise the upper part and open the pocket on the right at this time, turn the product over. Having done what is indicated in photos 9 and 11, we can repeat the same variations on the other side. You should get a detail in the form of an arrow. Now the right corner needs to be bent to the left, while we outline the horizontal fold mark, then unbend. Further along the diagonal, you need to bend the upper left part, we see the top of this detail in the photo at number 15. Next, we bend the strip, which is vertical. Always look at the photos below.
We open the pocket and do repetitions, which are indicated in photos 14 and 16, but already fold from the parallel side. It should turn out so that the butterfly should open its wings. Now we need to form a fold that will separate the upper wings from the lower ones. And we bend the middle corners of the wings. Now we make the body of our craft. We need to bend the product in half. We bend the corner in the back and the middle strip, while opening the corner on the left side. Now we do the same action on the other side. Then we make the head, for this we need to bend the corner of the head - we round the body. Now we bend two corners at the bottom of the wing, it should turn out, as in the photo at number 25. We open our product, while bending the wings along the body. And so we got our butterfly from a bill.
Moth from modules
Modular design is one of the simplest, but when making a butterfly, the main thing is to choose the right color scheme. It is the color of butterflies, both in nature and in creativity, that is very important. Origami from modules always turns out to be quite bright, voluminous and beautiful.
To complete the butterfly, we first need to make the torso. We take 4 modules and connect them in pairs. We debug to the side - this is what we got the first and second rows. Now we make the third row: we take 3 modules, we connect the middle modules. Fourth row: 2 modules. Fifth: we fix 3 more details, while we need to capture the corners of the last and penultimate rows. In order to fix the wings, we insert the modules into two pockets that are located at the edges.
Now we make the right wing, which is located on top.
Put outer pockets on the extreme corners of this pattern. To get a drawing, you can alternate color modules or lay them out on a flat surface. When you get 8 modules at the bottom in a set, then the wing must be rounded. We do this like this: in each row we decrease one by one. But when there are already 12 modules on top, we also begin to round off. The second wing is done in the same way.
When assembling the left wing, you need to remember that this assembly must be mirrored in order to make it beautiful and correct. Now we need to put the resulting wings on the protruding corners from the body. You can glue the wings to the body. But the antennae are made of two modules, which are twisted with a pencil.
Here is our butterfly and ready!

The attitude towards monetary gifts is ambiguous. Many are of the opinion that gifts of this kind are cold and soulless. Indeed, a cash present is unlikely to be called “lovingly selected”. However, if you wish, you can put your soul into it. For example, prepare an interesting and original way of presenting.
If the donor made an original postcard-envelope for money with his own hands, having previously bought everything necessary for creativity, such a gift cannot be called a “soulless gift”. In addition to the usual postcards and envelopes, there are many other options. Consider 10 ways to give cash gifts.
Money as a gift: how to present? 10 ways
1. In a candy box
This is a surprise gift. The hero of the occasion receives, as he thinks, only a box of chocolates, but in fact the present contains a sum of money for which you can buy several (or a lot) of such boxes.
So, an empty candy box with a correx (a plastic insert with recesses for sweets) is taken. Some of the sweets, by the way, can be left. For a cash gift in a box, both banknotes and coins are suitable. The banknotes must be carefully folded and placed together with the coins in the candy slots.

The box can be wrapped in transparent film to make it look like new, but this is not necessary. If the box will be presented without a wrapper, it is worth tying it with a ribbon so that the lid does not open.

2. Money as a gift with an umbrella
Everything is simple here: an umbrella is bought, to the knitting needles of which banknotes are tied. To do this, use braid or ribbons.
The umbrella can be opened during the presentation of a gift or presented as a surprise. Let the gift recipient open the umbrella himself when he examines the gifts received. He will be surprised!

Presenting an umbrella with money, you can say: “May you always be accompanied by showers of money!”.

3. Money in a box with butterflies
This option of donation will be relevant if the money is intended for newlyweds or the fair sex, especially the young. The present looks gentle and romantic.
So, you need a fairly deep box with a lid. You can buy it at a gift wrapping store or in the housekeeping department (cardboard storage box). A tall box of shoes, sweets, toys, etc. is also suitable. If the color and / or the presence of inscriptions does not suit you, the box can be pasted over with colored paper of a delicate shade. In addition to the box, you will need: thick thread, thin braid, adhesive tape and, if desired, other decorations.
Butterflies are made of paper money. One butterfly is made from two banknotes. Between themselves, the bills are fastened with an elastic band or thin braid.

4. Mini-shield "Emergency"
Banknotes are placed in a deep frame with glass. There are deep frames designed for photos, casts, quilling, etc. You can ask around for such a product in souvenir, decor, and needlework stores.
So, bills are located behind the glass (1-3 pieces, usually no more). If the gift is intended for a friend, you can joke by adding something else to the bills: for example, a blister with aspirin tablets and a condom.
In order for the frame to turn into a mini-shield (like a fireman), it is necessary to supplement it with the inscription: “In an emergency, break the glass!” or “In the event of an emergency, break the glass and use the contents!”.

5. Money wreath
This way of presenting a cash gift is especially relevant in winter, during the New Year and Christmas holidays. With a wreath of money, you can congratulate relatives on the New Year, a friend on his birthday, newlyweds on their wedding, etc.
Wreaths of money are of two types: 1. woven directly from bills (they need to be folded in the form of small triangles with pockets); 2. frame, decorated with banknotes.

How to weave a wreath of the first type is shown in detail in the video (it is in English, but in principle, knowledge of the language is not required to understand the process).
For a wreath of the second type, a round frame is required. It can be built from wire, branches or cardboard. It can be a thin "ring", a wide flat "wheel" or a lush "donut". The frame can be wrapped with tape or pasted over with a cloth. Banknotes must be folded in the form of tubes, butterflies, fans or otherwise.
Figures made of banknotes are tied to the frame with a thin braid or attached to safety pins. In addition to money, a wreath can be decorated with sweets, Christmas balls, tinsel, beads.
6. Money Cake
What gift pseudo-cakes are not made of: from diapers, chocolates, socks, cosmetics, etc. And from banknotes - too.
For the construction of pseudo-cakes, round frames of various sizes are used. The gift is given the form of a cake of two or more tiers. As a frame, you can use polystyrene discs or any cylindrical boxes and tins - empty or filled with sweets.

This gift can also be a surprise. The hero of the occasion is presented with “just” a book, but inside it is a decent amount for which you can buy several good books to your liking.
To hide the money, you need a fairly thick book. It's better if it makes sense. For example, if a gift is given to newlyweds, a work about love will be relevant.
A “hiding place” is cut out in the book, inside of which a gift is placed.

The highlight of this gift is in the inscription on the label. It is personalized and printed specifically for the occasion. The date of manufacture (the day of the celebration) is placed on the label. You can also place on it information about the manufacturer (name of the donor), place of manufacture, expiration date, method of application, etc. The more creative, the better.
Often this "product" is called "dried greens" or "cabbage". But you can always come up with some new name, for example:
- Non-baby mix (mixing of different currencies);
- Canned stash;
- Ketchup in Russian (filled with five thousandth bills).

10. In the form of a decorative postcard
If there is a creative vein and hands grow from where it is necessary, you can make a beautiful gift panel. For example, in the form of a voluminous application using colored paper and banknotes.
You will need a base, preferably with a frame. On the panel, you can depict, for example, a balloon with gifts, hearts, candles, a dress with a shirt, fish, butterflies, etc. Some of the details are made of colored paper and other materials for creativity, some are made of banknotes. Of course, you should not stick money to the base - it is better to fix it with paper clips, buttons or safety pins.

This is how easy it is to create a small heart from banknotes.
Many people want to make a shirt out of money with a tie, but not everyone knows how. Before spoiling banknotes, it is worth taking an ordinary sheet of white paper and practicing following all instructions. From the first time, of course, nothing can come of it, because a shirt with a tie from a bill is a very difficult craft. However, a few serious attempts - and the shirt will be created. A shirt made of money will not only highlight the chic imagination of its creator, but will also delight others. What money is better to take for a shirt?
Having decided to understand how to make a shirt from a banknote, you should immediately check the available funds.
In principle, you can take absolutely everything, but the best and most interesting option will come from the dollar. All because he has the most suitable sizes for this. Shirts from any other banknotes will be obtained in a different shape and form.
So, take a dollar or another banknote. On the left side, fold a little less than a third of the banknote. Then, without unbending anything, bend the paper in half along its long side, and then unfold the fold. Then it will be necessary to bend both sides to this line in the center.
The second step begins with the deployment of 2 bent folds. The material must be turned over and a thin strip no more than 1 cm wide should be bent to the right. How to make crafts from cash, having done everything already described? Turn it over and again fold the long edges to the line in the center. On the right, bend another small strip.
Cuffs and finishing work. The entire left side of the banknote needs to be unfolded, and small stripes should be bent along the edges, which will become cuffs. Then the long edges again need to be bent inward. On the right side, the corners must be bent forward so that their lines connect with the horizontal line in the center. In this way, a shirt collar is formed. And on the left, sleeves are made: the internal valves must be turned outward. At the end of the work, the edge on the left must be bent so that it can be pushed under the collar. The craft is ready. It's so easy to fold a shirt out of a bill.
Shirt options. When figuring out how to make crafts from money, it is worth remembering that you can fold not only a shirt, but also additions to it. For example, trousers from the same banknotes, a skirt, paper flowers, little men. An unusual craft can become a real masterpiece.
You can also make more complex crafts, such as an origami dress. The scheme can help in the creation of many crafts, so it should be given special attention.
If your craft seems unattractive to you, it can be painted in any color that you like. The most important thing in any job is patience and perseverance. If you try hard, you will definitely succeed.
