Cube

Dollar bills are close to having three-by-seven proportions, and this cube takes advantage of that fact. There is a lot of precreasing for most of the steps, but once the folding begins, everything collapses quickly into place. The repetitive wrapping sequence creates two faces with a fancy pattern.

1 Lightly precrease.

images

2 Place a light pinch mark halfway along the top edge.

images

3 Precrease from the corner to the crease, folding sharply where indicated.

images

4 Valley fold the bottom edge up at the intersection indicated by the dot. This should be at one third the width.

images

5 Unfold.

images

6 Precrease the top section in half.

images

7 Precrease along the angle bisectors.

images

8 Precrease where the step 7 creases hit the edge.

images

9 Precrease along the diagonal.

images

10 Precrease where the step 9 crease hits the edge.

images

11 Precrease through the intersections of creases.

images

12 Precrease along the angle bisectors.

images

13 Valley fold toward the vertical crease. The edges will not line up perfectly.

images

14 Swivel the sides in, allowing the edge to come up at 90 degrees.

images

15 Swivel in the sides again, pulling the box section inward.

images

16 Swivel in again as in the previous step.

images

17 Continue the swiveling process.

images

18 Form another set of swivels.

images

19 Roll the cube section over one last time.

images

20 Tuck the flaps into the side pockets.
