An Illustrated Guide to Making an Origami T-Shirt

Hi. My name is Zack and I will be assisting you with the construction of the origami T-shirt dollar. Just follow my simple instructions and you will be on your way to doing whatever it is you want to do with an origami T-shirt. These extraordinary works of art aren't just plain dollar bills molded into T-shirts, they are bite sized miracles. Once they are folded they become the most useful pieces of equipment known (and unknown) to man. Don't believe me? You'll see. ;)

But seriously. Just follow my steps to make your Origami Tee. They shouldn't be that hard ;p

Have Fun!

These are the steps to create your very own Origami Tee! Dun dun dun.

Get a nice, crispy dollar bill.

Fold that nice, crispy dollar in half "hot dog style" or long ways. (Make sure portrait is facing upwards.)

Unfold it and take the top edge and bring it down to the middle crease you just made. Do the same to the bottom edge.

Flip it over and fold the left edge along the border.

Flip it back over and angle fold the upper and lower left corners toward the crease you made in step 2. Now you have the collar.

Fold the right edge a little less than 1/3 toward the left.

Fold the right edge again toward the left and tuck it under the collar. Now you have a sleeveless shirt.

This step is more difficult than others. To make the sleeves, unfold steps 6 and 7 and reverse the creases made in step 6. Pull the folds out to make the sleeves. (Make sure the sleeves are nice and neat.)

Now that you have the sleeves fold it back up and tuck it under the collar.

The next step would be to invite your old chaps over for tea and show off your wonderful, new origami creation. ;)
