When thinking of ideas for this week’s project I decided to do something a little different from what I usually do for this blog. While I was searching for this week’s project I came across a few origami projects that used dollar bills. So I decided that for this week’s post I would try something different. With this, I am happy to say that this week’s origami project is an F-18 Jet made from a dollar bill. Making origami from a dollar bill was a new experience for me but I enjoyed the challenge and will most likely do more of this kind of origami in the future. As always I will put the link to the video that I used at the end of the blog so if you as a reader are interested in giving this project a try you can.
For this project, all you need is, as you may be able to guess, a dollar bill or a piece of paper with a 3:7 ratio. For this project, I used a 1 dollar bill. However, if you are a little more high class than I am you could use a 2, 5, 10, 20, or dare I say it, a 100 dollar bill to make this project. Or, you can just print off a copy of a dollar bill.
Overall I would rate this project as a six out of 10 stars in difficulty. This project is probably one of the more difficult projects that I have done so far. While the instructions in the video were extremely specific and easy to follow, a dollar bill is pretty small, and some of the folds were difficult to do with such a small area to fold. So if you as a reader are feeling a bit adventurous or are ready to try a harder project then this is the project for you to expand your horizon.
If you as a reader are interested in making this project the video is linked below.
