Money Twist Tie Modular Flower

This Money Twist Tie Modular Flower is a variation of a traditional design. It is a simple model to make and it generates four different versions of the same flower. Using 3 one-dollar bills, this dollar bill flower is a great tip for a waitress or waiter. To keep the dollar bills together, you will need a twist tie, a pipe cleaner, a piece of string, or something of a similar nature.
