3 wedding money gift ideas

Summer seems to be filled with weddings and other occasions where people would expect to receive gifts. Knowing how difficult it is to shop for a gift, the most reasonable gift sometimes seems to be a money gift. But not always gift in an envelope is the most creative gift idea.

I have listed my 3 most favorite money gift ideas how you can make money gift look more interesting and memorable


Vasara šķiet piepildīta ar kāzām un svinīgiem notikumiem. Ļoti bieži kā dāvana tiek izvēlēta naudas summa aploksnē. Bet bieži vien ir vēlme izmantot savu radošumu un padarīt šāda veida dāvanu daudz interesantāku.
Esmu apkopojusi manuprāt 3 visinteresantākos dāvanas veidus:

1. Origami gulbji rotaslietu lādītē
2. Origami sirsniņas rotaslietu lādītē
3. Orogami jaunlaulātie fotorāmītī

1. Origami swans in the Jewelry box

You will need:

• Jewelry box or box of your choice, I purchased mine in local Wood furniture and house interior store for £8. But I can guarantee you can find something similar almost everywhere, there is some ideas from online stores; etsy or Zara Home.
• 2 Money bills, here you can choose a different currency or amount you are willing to gift.
• Craft paper, I used some paper from my craft supplies to line inside of my box. This part can be optional.

How to fold origami swan:

• 

After your paper swans are folded place them into box, secure them with some blue tack and you have a nice gift for the newlyweds.

2. Origami hearts in the Jewelry box

You will need:

• Craft paper of your choice
• Jewelry box, some ideas etsy or Zara Home
• At least 2 Money bills, I used American dollar bills, but my favorite is euro, since they come in different colors.

There is video how to fold an origami heart

You can have 2 or many hearts I choose to have 2 since it is a wedding gift.

3. Origami newlyweds in photo frame

You will need:

• Craft paper, of your choice.
• Photo frame, of your choice and color, I used 13x18cm photo frame.
• 4 Money bills, I prefer using euro bills, since they come in different colors.

There is a video how to fold a money dress

There is a video how to fold a money shirt and trousers

In the videos they use dollar bills, but I used euro bills and it works just fine.

Now you have to cut your craft paper to fit into photo frame, place your folded dress and shirt + trousers in center. and close the photo frame. It should stay in place with no attachments, but if it does not you can use some blue tack to secure your money origami in place. This project has endless variations, you can use just one (dress or shirt) for graduation gift or Birthday, for someone you find hard to shop for.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Please leave your ideas and suggestions at the comments bellow.
