Shape the V-shaped base of the money heart
Lay a crisp dollar bill flat in front of you on a table.
The next step is to fold 1/3 of the bottom part of the dollar bill upward. Do the same for the upper edge. Great, now it's time for the next set of steps.
Fold the dollar bill Into a pentagon
Next, fold the dollar bill in half as illustrated above. Crease the dollar bill well and unfold.
Bring the left and right edges to the top. Do so by diagonally folding along the dashed lines. See next steps for guidance.
Diagonally fold the left bottom corners upward to the center.
Then do the same for the right edge. Now it is time for the last set of steps. Good job!
