I realize that Thanksgiving isn’t traditionally about giving gifts, but all the same I wanted to share this money origami turkey. It’s pretty easy to fold and it’s a fun way to give cash –if venmo hasn’t removed your use of cash permanently. — I saw this fold originally as an origami peacock. But obviously I liked the idea of making it as a Thanksgiving dollar origami turkey.
What you’ll need to fold this dollar origami turkey:
- video above
- 1 US currency bill any denomination
- a little bit of patience
- a pencil to poke the tiny corners and press folds when needed
What do I do with a money origami turkey?
This is probably the most reasonable question you can ask. So I thought up a couple of uses for this that I think are useful for Thanksgiving day:
- use them as prizes for a Thanksgiving Game
- pay back whoever bought the pies you should have brought to dinner
- if you have grandkids give them a turkey if they can share something they are truly grateful for
- bet on the Thanksgiving Football game of your choice.
- Get 100 $1 bills and have the family fold them to donate to a charity that helps those less fortunate than you
- start a tradition of giving Thanksgiving presents (why not we black friday shop that day anyway)
