I’ve also folded a framed picture of George Washington from a dollar bill, that even includes Washington’s name on the frame. If you’re interested in folding some of Won Park’s money origami designs, check out Extreme Origami on Amazon, but be warned – these are not for the fainthearted! Won Park, who is perhaps the best known money folder in the world, uses this technique on some of his models, including his Koi, which uses swirls in the pattern for the eyes. This would be quite a smart design anyway, but the inclusion of ‘In God We Trust’ on the horizontal arm of the cross makes a massive difference to the finished model. One of the advantages of using banknotes for origami paper is that you can use the design on the bill as part of the finished model, as in this case. It was originally designed by Charles Bast, and Jeremy Shafer came up with this variation on it to simplify the folding sequence and make it stand up. The traditional emblem of Remembrance Day is the Poppy, but this year I’ve folded this Origami Cross made from a US dollar bill.

It’s a little different in the United States – November 11 is known as Veterans’ Day – an opportunity to recognise the service of all military veterans (other than those discharged dishonourably). In the UK, it’s also known as Armistice Day and while people are encouraged to observe a two minute silence at 11am to mark the time the guns went silent, many of the services and ceremonies of remembrance take place on the Sunday nearest to the 11th, known as Remembrance Sunday.
In many countries around the world, that’s the date that is used for Remembrance Day, an occasion to honour the memory of members of the armed forces who have died in conflict. “Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear.”ġ1am GMT on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year is when the armistice took effect at the end of World War One.
