$8 Flying Disc (dollar Bill Origami)

Video showing how the discs spin when thrown.

$8 is all you need to create this flying disc. I like this one because you can play with the pattern a little based on how you fold the bills. This disc puffs out around the edges and reminds me of a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell. It flies amazingly far and is fun to play catch with.

Materials

You need:
-8 dollar bills
-your hands

Start with the back of the bill facing up and fold in half by bringing the left side to meet the right.

Now fold the bill in half so that the top meets the bottom. Orient the bill as shows in the picture.
Fold the bottom left corner up to meet the top edge. Do the same thing with the bottom right corner. Unfold.

Now reverse fold the creases you made in the last step inward. This is the trickiest part so look at the pictures if you need help.

Make 8 Units

Repeat steps 2-4 to create 8 units in total.

Link 'em Together

Insert one bill into another by opening the flaps on the left one and putting the right one inside. Follow the picture for proper alignment.

Tuck the flaps from the left bill into the opening of the one on the right. Tuck the flaps of the right bill into the one on the left. This will link the two units to each other.

Continue connecting units until the entire ring is formed. Now have from throwing about $8!
