Folding a Christmas tree from a Euro bill is a wonderful idea for the holiday season. This festive version of folding money turns a cash gift into a small Christmas surprise and combines the Japanese art of origami with the most beautiful time of the year.

A folded money tree is ideal for colleagues - it not only shows your appreciation, but also brings Christmas spirit. This creative way of giving is well received by family and friends, showing that you have taken the time to give a personal gift. A money tree naturally fits perfectly with the Advent and Christmas season. You can use it as a gift tag, insert it into a transparent Christmas ornament, or place it on the gift table along with a small star.
