This clever model allows you to have a rabbit pop up out of a hat. It is folded out of one dollar bill --- or a bigger denomination is you have money to throw around :). You need a fairly crisp bill, which you need to supply. I will not supply money. It's not so hard to fold, but some patience is required to work with the model to get it to pop up correctly and to learn how to hold it for best effect. Robert Neale, the designer of this model, is perhaps better known as a magician than an origami artist, but he has designed some great origami models. If you are a bit less than an intermediate folder, but you have a lot of patience, please join us!

- This uses non-square paper: The exact same size as a US dollar bill if not able to bring a dollar bill. See above for paper weight suggestion.
- This is not a beginner model, but you can make up for some lack of experience with more patience, so please join if you are willing to be patient.

A crisp US one dollar bill OR a paper cut to that exact size. Kami is too light weight, scrapbooking paper
is too heavy; bring something in between if not a dollar bill.
