Origami with Dollar Bills:
Another Way to Impress People with Your Money!
Book Review by Brian Cirulnick
Firstly; at 6 bucks, this book is cheap — and with the money you save on the book and *NOT* buying origami paper, you can instead use those extra dollars to fold and make come entertaining origami. You don't have to look any further than your wallet to find crafting materials, because dollar bills themselves become all the materials you need to create some clever projects.
 The projects, which range from a Jedi to a horseshoe crab, an American Eagle to an Oriental dragon, are absolutely fantastic, full of imagination and are easy to do, once you go through the book and use the easy to understand, clearly illustrated, step-by-step instructions that are the hallmark of this amazing book.
Just think, with all the money you're saving, your wad of cash to fold will seem even more impressive, and what better way to attract the ladies at the local hot spot? For a little extra fun, amazing facts about U.S. currency appear throughout the book...such as how many times you can fold a dollar bill before it will tear — but don't worry, these projects will keep your stack intact.
And, after you unfold these projects, you can still use them as money!

Easy Origami
Book Review
For those of us that can barely make a paper airplane, this is the place to start learning the unique craft of Japanese paper folding. Armed with some colorful origami paper (you'll need lots to practice with), you can create a crane, a frog, a sailboat and more! Although this is a children's book, it's a great value for adults as well, as I'm sure very few of us can perform the intricate folds required to make some of these shapes.
At this price (4 bucks!), you should order multiples for everyone in your family and turn it into a bonding activity with the kids! The book covers 32 different folding projects and then when you think you've got it down, try more advanced projects in other origami books. Hey, if you can fold a cocktail napkin into something beautiful, maybe you can use it to pick up chicks at the bar!
