Book of Money

Bibliophiles will love spending these pages on a book of their own choosing.

Book of Money How-To
1. To create binding, you'll need two grades of paper: one that is lightweight, such as wrapping paper; and one that is medium weight, such as card stock. With a glue stick, affix together one sheet of each, back-to-back. Once dry, cut out a 6 1/8-by-2 3/4-inch rectangle.

2. Find the center (lengthwise), and use a bone folder to make two vertical creases, 1/16 inch to either side of it, to create the spine of the book. Cut a piece of linen bookbinding tape (available at crafts stores) the length of the spine, and affix. Fold dollar bills in half, one at a time, to crease; open, and stack together. Fold entire stack in half.

3. Use string to bind money to book, wrapping it around book's spine and across center fold of all the bills, and knotting. Punch one hole in front and back cover, and slip a piece of grosgrain ribbon through to tie book shut.
