Double Sided Tape

How to Fold Easy Bunny Money.

1. Lay the dollar bill face up.  Fold the bottom edge up to about the middle of the row of bright green numbers on the upper right part of the bill. Crease sharply.

2. Fold the top edge down so it is even with the fold at the bottom of the bill. Crease sharply.

3. Fold the dollar bill in half from side to side, making sure all edges are even. Crease sharply in the middle.

Unfold the last fold.

5. Fold the left side up the same way so there is no large gap between the edges, and the top edges are even.

The bunny money is ready to hide in an Easter basket. Or slip into a card.

Tips

I prefer the bunny money made with the back side of the bill showing, as George’s face is a bit distracting when the front side of a dollar bill is used.
