Origami Money Palm Tree

How to make an origami palm tree, teacher gift, Dad gift, Grad gifts, unique gift ideas, best gift ever

Confession: I love giving gifts. I love finding that perfect something that I know will be “exactly what they wanted”! However, sometimes that is easier said than done. Sometimes I fail, run out of time, and opt for a generic gift card. Phew–That feels good to get off my chest! Now one thing that everyone loves is money…am I right?? But money can feel impersonal…so I thought…and thought…and thought…and being the “creative” type that I am I figured out a way to jazz it up a bit! I invented my own Origami technique (DISCLAIMER: I am no Origami expert!) to make a Tree out of Money…and being the Florida girl that I am, of course it’s an Origami Money Palm Tree!
