Folding an angel from a Euro banknote is a magical idea for the Christmas season. This festive version of folding money combines the Japanese art of origami with Christmas tradition and turns a money gift into something special.

A folded money angel is perfect for colleagues - it not only shows appreciation, but also brings a Christmas atmosphere to the office. With family and friends, this heavenly money messenger brings a smile to their faces, as it shows that you have taken the time to create the gift lovingly. A money angel is especially suitable for the Christmas season, but also for baptisms, communions, or confirmations. You can place it in a transparent Christmas bauble, hang it on the Christmas tree, or use it as a gift tag along with a beautiful star.

Folding an angel from a banknote: Step-by-step guide with photos

As you can see in the video above, with some skill, a Euro banknote transforms into a beautiful angel. We filmed the video ourselves and also took all the photos for the following instructions. This way, you can follow each step precisely.

Tip: If you have no experience in folding banknotes, practice beforehand. Cut paper to the size of a banknote or get play money for practice. As with origami, take your time and work carefully so that your angel will look beautiful later.

Step 1: First fold the note vertically, then horizontally. Then fold the two corners in, as if you were making a paper airplane.

Step 2: Now fold the two corners along these lines inward. Watch the video for guidance. Then turn the note so that the "legs" form at the bottom. Next, fold the sides so that the upper corner becomes sharp.

Step 4: Done! I also cut out a head from paper and attached it with office glue, so it can be easily removed later. Do not use glue that cannot be removed. The banknotes should not be damaged.
