Money Bouquet Tutorial - Inspiration Made Simple (2024)

Posted by Kim Morgan | Dec 17, 2011 | gift ideas, holidays, tutorial | 9 |

Gifting money isn’t my favorite because I like to put a lot of thought and effort into the gifts I give. It’s not about the monetary value for me – it’s about showing the person how much I care for them by listening to them and really knowing who they are. I can show them that I value you them by creating a gift tailored to their likes, dislikes, etc. But sometimes, cash IS the way to go and there is now way I’m going to just put it in an envelope! I came up with this Money Boquet Tutorial on the fly and am pretty happy with the result!

Quick Update: I’ve been introduced to Washi Tape since first creating this tutorial and would recommend using that over a clear tape option as it is less likely to rip the bills!

SUPPLIES:
Bills of any nomination
Lollipop Sticks
Washi Tape
Flower Pot or other dish
Shredded Paper

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1 – fold the bill accordion style.

2. Fold the accordion folded bill in half.

3. Where the two sides of the bill meet, match together and secure with tape.

4. Do the same on the other side, creating a circle or “flower”.

These are really cute ideas! We give cash a lot because we have mostly teens to give gifs to (nieces and nephews). I’m always looking for a creative way to give it.
We recently mastered the dollar bill bracelet for a friend’s bat mitzvah gift.

Great ideas! I want to give away money just so I can make these. Maybe when my kids are a little older 🙂 I would love it if you would stop by and share at the crafty link party going on right now at Lines Across.
I hope to see you soon,

Great help!! I want to make a money tree to give my daughter & son in law at their wedding. These will look wonderful in the tree along with the ribbons and gold dollar “ornaments” I’ve made!!
