MONEY ORIGAMI GREEK TEMPLE

This is how to fold a Greek Temple out of Euro banknotes, I made one out of
eight 10 euro notes and one out of 50 euro notes. If you're using dollar notes,
they should be folded a little shorter first.

Step 1:
Prefold over this line.

Money Origami model, Greek Temple with six columns

Step 6:
Make a valley-fold over this line.

Step 5:
Unfold the model

Step 2:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

Step 4:
And make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

Step 3:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

Step 10:
Hold the model the same as I do here. The outer layer fits exactly on the inner layer of the model. Make sure that the pillar gets 5 edges, see arrows. Roll the model up completely.

Step 8:
Here a part of the folds from step 7 is already done.

Step 9:
Roll the model up, see arrow.

Step 7:
These lines are prefolded in step 1 to 4. You don't have to make new folding lines now. Start with the valley-fold on the left, then make a mountain-fold over the line on the right of it. Continue making valley- and mountain-folds until you reach the line completely on the right.

Step 16:
Make a valley-fold over the center line of the flap, see short black line. Make this fold over both layers in once.

Step 15:
Make an inside reverse fold over the 3 black lines. You almost automatically make a valley-fold over the 2 (prefolded) red lines when you do this.

Step 12:
Make 6 of these origami pillars.

Step 11:
Press the edges indicated by the 2 arrows against each other, to get sharper folding lines. Do the same with the other edges of the pillar. The model won't open by itself anymore after you've done this.

Step 14:
This picture shows the prefolded lines of step 13

Step 13:
This banknote is for the base of the temple. Prefold over these 4 lines.

Step 21:
This note is for the roof of the temple. Prefold over this line.

Step 19:
Make the folding lines of step 13 a little sharper. Then, turn the model.

Step 20:
And the base of the temple is ready too.

Step 18:
Repeat step 15 and 16 on the other 3 corners of the model, see arrows.

Step 17:

Step 22:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

Step 28:
Press the edges indicated by the 2 small arrows against each other. Then, fold the flap indicated by the large arrow to the inside of the model by making a mountain-fold over the short black line.

Step 25:
This picture shows all prefolded lines.

Step 26:
Press the 2 outer lines against each other, see arrows. Do this by making a valley-fold over the line in the middle and a mountain-fold over the 2 outer lines. The outer lines are prefolded in step 22 and 24
