Most couples would like some money from their guests for their wedding. The money can simply be placed in a card, or as in this tutorial it can be hung decoratively on a metal ring. The metal ring was decorated with various dried flowers and the banknotes were folded into butterflies. In this way, you can create a beautiful wedding gift in no time at all!

Decorative wedding money gift

1. Fold several banknotes into butterflies using wire and beads. For a butterfly you need two different sized banknotes (e.g. 5 and 10 € note, or 10 and 20 € note). The butterfly consists of two individual parts that are later tied together with wire.

The banknotes are folded as follows:

Place a banknote across in front of you and fold it upwards once.

Unfold it again and fold the corners inwards to the crease that has been created, so that there are two points on the sides.

Now fold the banknote from bottom to top like an accordion.

Now fold it once in the middle and put it aside.

Proceed with the second banknote in the same way as just described.

Once both notes are folded, place the smaller note down and the larger note up. Connect the notes in the middle with wire.

For the butterfly's antennae, cut another piece of wire, attach it to the centre of the butterfly and glue beads to the ends. 

2. String the metal ring with wire in a criss-cross pattern.

3. Tie various dried flowers to the edge of the metal ring. Take some wire for this as well to attach the flowers.
4. The butterflies are also attached to the metal ring and the wire mesh with wire. Double-sided tape can be used for extra hold.

5. Finally, cut satin ribbons in different lengths and knot them at the bottom of the metal ring.
