Step 1:
Grab a crisp dollar bill. Fold it in half lengthwise, then unfold it to make a nice crease down the middle.
Step 2:
Next, fold down both top corners so they line up with that middle crease we just made.
Step 3:
Fold both sides in toward the middle line and then turn the whole thing so the tip points left.
Step 4:
Fold it in half along that crease you made earlier.
Step 5:
Now, fold the left corner up, make a crease, and then unfold it again.
Step 6:
Use that crease to flip the left corner inside out. It’s called an “outside reverse fold.”
Step 7:
Time for another outside reverse fold on the tip. This makes the swan’s fancy head.
And there you have it! Your dollar bill has now turned into a sleek origami swan. Pretty cool, right?
