My son was recently invited to his first Bar Mitzvah. After asking around, I quickly found out that money was the desired gift to bring. I guess that makes it easy, but at least I wanted to make the packaging a little fun. So I came across this website and started folding. 
It was quite easy, and the folded-in-half rolled-up bill fit in nicely.

My son had a nice time, and I hope his friend enjoyed his special day and gift. For a different occasion I guess the box could hold a piece of jewelry, too?! Or some candy?!

What a Great Idea! I am attending a wedding soon and will consider this for the money gift there as well.

I think this a great idea that everyone that's going to a wedding and want to give money instead of a gift. It's the cuties idea I have seen in a long time.

I love this idea. I still have several graduation parties to attend... and this will be my new gift topper.

This is also a great idea for a stocking stuffer &/or to put under the "Money Tree" that my family uses at celebrations

Hi Mistie, Hi Darlene,
This website seems to be a good alternative: http://www.origami-resource-center.com/dollar-bill-origami.html.
I've also heard great things about the book Dollar Origami by Won Park: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607102811/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=acoj-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1607102811
Thanks!
Laura
