It doesn’t get any more creative than using currency to craft creations with this money origami collection by Won Park.
Won Park is an artist hailing from Honolulu, Hawaii, and his simple concept of using money instead of regular paper to fold origami pieces really shows his outside-the-box approach to art. Park’s attention to detail is second to none as he carefully picks out the appropriate-colored currency to correspond with the pieces he’s making. The results pretty much speak for themselves; they’re great! Park also has a few paper projects in which he makes money origami based on the origin of the bill. An Eiffel Tower from a French franc, anyone?
