Idea 1: Santa Clauses from banknotes

A particularly playful and cute money gift idea are the Santa Clauses made from 10 euro bills. These are best suited because their color matches the Santa Claus outfit well. To make Santa Claus out of banknotes, you also need a little cotton wool for the beard and red and black craft ponpons for the eyes and mouth. The money Santa Clauses also cut a good figure as Christmas tree decorations in addition to colorful Christmas balls.

Hohoho: At Christmas, the money doesn't always have to be given away in an envelope, but can also be delivered by a little money Santa Claus.

Idea 2: Small branch with folded banknotes

This little tree has it all: the banknotes are attached along a small branch. It should be noted that the notes are folded ever smaller towards the top, so that a Christmas tree silhouette is created. as a "trunk" you can of course also use craft wire instead of a branch.

If it should not be a voucher from the nursery, you can also present a plant grant with this creative idea.

Idea 3: garlands from banknotes

A garland of banknotes is a nice and valuable addition to a book gift or other attentions. All you need is a string, a few pearls and banknotes. Fold the banknotes so that a triangle is created and you can thread it on the long side with a cord. Then thread one pearl each. Repeat this until the garland has reached the desired value.

This fancy banknote garland is not only valuable, but also very decorative.

Idea 4: monetary gifts as a valuable butterfly mobile

How tender and lively the banknotes seem in our fourth idea! Use any glass and any banknotes - it will be particularly colorful with different banknotes. You fold the banknotes evenly so that you get a kind of accordion. Now tie a bill together with a cord in the middle. Repeat this process until you have reached the desired number of butterflies. Attach the beginning and end of the string to the lid of the jar so that the butterflies float at the desired height as a mobile.

The ideal money gift for weddings: small money butterflies hover in the middle of a glass.

Idea 5: Rolled banknotes as stylized candles in the picture frame

Banknotes are also very decorative in the form of stylized candles in the picture frame. Of course you need a small picture frame, banknotes and a yellow and orange pen. The banknotes are rolled and carefully glued to a white, suitably cut cardboard box - ideally with a removable adhesive (e.g. Fixogum). Now paint the flames at the top. When you have rolled enough money candles, put the cardboard in the picture frame - you can do without the glass plate on the front.

Did you recognize the banknotes immediately? We think these candles look particularly luxurious.

Idea 6: bill mobile from birds

Another really unusual idea is this mobile made of paper birds with wings made out of banknotes. Obtain a little craft paper in your desired color in the craft supplies. Draw a bird and cut it out. Cut a small slit at about the bird's middle belly height, insert the bank note in the middle and spread the wings open again slightly at the ends.

Tip: If you cannot draw birds by hand, simply search for a template on the Internet, print it out and match it. You can decorate the mobile with other elements - for example with homemade cookies.

A self-made bird mobile with banknotes doesn't just make children's eyes shine.

Idea 7: Doll money card

If you want to give children money gifts, but don't want to pack them with a simple envelope, you can make a doll money card out of the money notes. For this you need a coin, five banknotes and some wool. The coin represents the head, the wool the hair, a banknote the body and the rest of the limbs. The banknotes are rolled for feet and arms. Fold the last bill into a triangle so that it is a kind of dress. Of course, you can also make a male version with a slightly trapezoidal upper body instead. Finally, fix everything on the card with removable adhesive.

Refined money gifts: Instead of putting the money in an envelope, this year Anna has a doll money card for her birthday.
