MONEY ORIGAMI TOWER OF PISA
I designed this model for a book with folded money
models.
Other banknotes can be used for this model too, like 10 euro notes,
or fake-money which goes with the book.
Step 1:
Make
a valley-fold over this line, it's just a little above the center
line.
Step 6:
The
piece below is the one which is folded until step 3. Turn the piece
above. Then slide the edge undicated by the upper arrow behind the
edge at the arrow below.
Step 5:
Make
4 of these pieces, one of them only needs to be folded until
step 3 (without step 4).
Step 2:
Make
a valley-fold over this line.
Step 4:
Make
a valley-fold over this line.
Step 3:
Fold
the piece above the black line to the backside of the model by
making a mountain-fold over this line.
Step 10:
Make
a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 8:
Repeat
step 6 with the other 2 pieces
Step 9:
Prefold
the model over this line.
Step 7:
Here
a part of step 6 is already done.

of the tower of Pisa
Step 16:
Make
a valley-fold over these 4 lines. The 4 pieces on the left, between
the black lines, are all of equal size.
Step 15:
This
euro note is for the base of the tower. Make a mountain-fold over
these 2 lines.
Step 12:
These
lines are already prefolded. Now, make a valley-fold to get them in
the right direction.
Step 11:
And
make a valley-fold over these 2 lines. Then unfold the folds of step
10 and 11
Step 14:
The
main part of the tower is done now...
Step 13:
Slide
the edges indicated by the arrows on the right behind the edges
indicated by the arrows on the left. The two orange lines show the
length of the pieces which are slided behind the edges on the left.
Step 21:
And
the base of the tower is ready too...
Step 19:
Push
the piece below the black line to the inside of the model by making
a mountain-fold over this line.
Step 20:
Push
the piece below this line to the inside too. Note: This is a
diagonal line, we're making the tower of pisa. Make the same fold on
the other side of the model, see upper arrow.
Step 18:
Push
the flap indicated by the arrow on the right inside the opening at
the arrow on the left.
Step 17:
Make
a mountain-fold over these 2 black lines.
Step 22:
This
note is for the top of the tower. Fold the paper in half over this
line.
Step 28:
And
the top of the tower is done too...
Step 25:
Hold
the model on a table, the same as I do here. Press the inner layer
of the edge downwards, see arrow.
Step 26:
Press
the inner layer downwards on more places, see arrow as example.
Step 24:
Slide
the piece indicated by the arrow below inside the piece at the upper
arrow.
Step 23:
Roll
the model up by pulling the pieces indicated by the arrows towards
each other.
Step 29:
Push
the top of the tower in the main-piece, see arrow.
Step 27:
Press
the edge of the model flat between two fingers at the places
indicated by the 2 arrows. (This is on the place where you've
connected the 2 ends in step 24). Now the model can't open by itself
anymore.
Step 30:
And
push/slide the main-piece in the base of the tower.
Done!
