A classic Michael LaFosse butterfly, adapted specifically for folding from a US dollar bill - it takes advantage of the designs on the bill to create markings on the wings, with a color-change for the body, too.

Supplies

One US dollar (if available.) Otherwise, thin, strong paper of proportion at least 2:1. (Actual dollars are close to a 2.35:1 ratio.) If you're less experienced with money folding, or with folding from small paper, for the class you might consider using something larger, just make sure it's at least 2:1 proportioned! The design takes advantage of the decorations on the bill, though, so it's recommended if you're up to it!
