Dollar Bill Shuriken (Origami Ninja Star).Now With Video: A very fun way to throw your money around! There are already quite a few Instructables showing how to make origami ninja stars but none that I could find using dollar bills. Though making these with dollar bills is pretty much the same as with pape. Ninja stars were commonly used to slow down attackers or used as a distraction. There is even evidence that ninjas sometimes partially buried throwing stars in the ground as a way to maim their attackers when stepped on. Shuriken come in many different weights, sizes and styles. In Japan, ninja stars were initially made from everyday items like.

Each star is made from a single dollar note, and here's what they look like up close. I think it's a nice coincidence that the 'God We Trust' bit of the note ends up showing in the middle. Of all the different ways to fold money , this one is quite cool, don't you think?

I'll show you the instructions with a white piece of paper cut to the same size as a dollar bill. The folds are easier to see this way than with a real bill.

Step 1

Fold the bill in half lengthwise and unfold again, to make a crease.

Note : If you'd like 'god we trust' in the middle of your star, then start with the bill this way up:

Step 2

Fold the top left corner down to meet the crease in the center (marked with a *). Also, make sure that the crease passes through the bottom left corner of the bill.

Step 3

Fold the bottom left corner up to meet the top edge, like this:

Step 4

Fold the top left corner down to meet the bottom edge.

Your bill should now look like this:

If you're using US money, the corners will match up almost perfectly, so that the top left corner touches the bottom right corner. With money from other countries, the corners might not meet, but it doesn't matter. All that really matters is that your bill looks like a triangle when you get to step 6.

Step 5

If you look closely at the bill, you'll see that there's a sort of pocket in it now. Tuck the loose flap into the pocket and fold it in place.

Step 6

Your bill should now look like a triangle with all sides of equal length.

Fold and unfold your bill in half all three ways, as shown by the dotted lines below. The reason we're doing this is to mark the center of the triangle

Step 7

Fold the top point down to meet the center of the triangle.

Fold the other two points to meet the center of the triangle too, so that your bill looks something like this:

Step 8

Turn over the bill. Then fold the top edge down to meet the center point (marked with a *). As you make the fold, let the tip of the star flip out from underneath. You'll see what I mean in the next photos.

Now fold the bottom right edge to meet the center point, like in the photo below. Also, see how the tip of the star is showing from the previous fold?

Now fold the bottom left edge to meet the center point, as shown below. (Ignore my finger that's in the way.)

As you fold in this last edge, tuck it under the top flap. It's a bit hard to describe, but see the photo below.

If you want to be a true ninja, you need to be able to make your own weapons because they're really expensive. Throw a ninja star and if you can't recover it, you just threw away $20. That's why I made this tutorial to teach you how to make an origami ninja star so if you lose it, it's just paper and you can fold another one.

Money Folding Ninja Star

The origami ninja star is fun and easy to fold. The weight, form and shape is even and balanced all around making it also fun to throw. However I have to warn you that the corners are sharp and can poke an eye out or cause injury. This origami ninja star is no ordinary toy. You have been warned. Now fold it and have fun.
