  • In this tutorial, I'll provide instructions on how to fold a $2 money or dollar origami graduation cap & diploma. This dollar origami graduation gift idea requires 2 dollar bills and is a perfect surprise for a graduate.
    If you're giving money as a gift, this project is perfect for you! The best part about it is that it does NOT DESTROY the value of the currency in any way. So, fold away!! :-)
    P.S. I know that there are other ways to the fold the graduation cap, but this is MY OWN method of folding it.

    I folded it! Very clear instructions! I like how you pause at the end of the more difficult steps and show it from different angles. I'm going to try to do that more in my tutorials. Notice the four flaps inside the hat... I just discovered that if you fold these four flaps apart, you end up with a secret George Washington picture frame, and, for extra kicks, you could insert a picture of the honored graduate! Folding these flaps apart also helps lock the hat to the big square top.

      Peek-a-boo with President Washington. :-) Yeah, I like to give different angles of the folds. I'm sure there are people who think it's annoying and too "slow," haha. Can't satisfy everyone. :-)

    I like this tutorial the best for making the cap. For mine, I used a tiny piece of tape to bring those loose ends together.
    Also, made a tiny hole in the center, made a knot in the embroidery thread, brought it through the cap to the top...tied again & cut the thread like she did. Looked real pretty. I also use the school colors for my graduate cap.

    Loved this! For my daughter's friends, I made these and put them in a Chinese food container from the $1 store with some school-colored crinkle paper. Then I ordered some 'custom' fortune cookies with motivational, college-related fortunes, and decorated the outside of the box with a bow and their name! Perfect gift, and I could determine how much $ I wanted to give. Thank you!

    Use two short twist ties to hold the square of the cap together! Push them through inside that fold (just like you first suggest with the thread) and then you can bend the four corners and make the square super secure!

    I Tie a knot in my needle and bring it up under the center of the cap through the top do it three times the glue the knots to the underside of the cap. No one sees it and the tassels in the center of the cap

Thank you so much.
