Make a unique gift box from money

twenty dollar billsEvery special someone in our life deserves to have a special gift. If you don't want to give just any ole gift to your teenage daughter, why not wrap her Christmas gift in money?

I say teenage daughter because that is what this instructional reminds me of. What teenage daughter or young child wouldn't love to be given a gift that is wrapped in money?

Using two crisp one dollar bills, the author shows us step by step how to fold a one dollar bill into a box, and then use another one dollar bill for the cover. The author doesn't like a "traditional" cover, so he (or she?) has made the cover to go around the box, so that you slide the box in and out as you wish.

If you are giving this homemade money gift box to a person under the age of eighteen, I suggest using money in larger denominations. I think that the only time I would use two one dollar bills is if I was giving the box to my spouse.
