Looking for a unique and fun way to gift money for graduation? The Money Roll, a clever twist on the traditional cash gift, is sure to impress. This engaging presentation turns a simple monetary gift into an interactive experience, making it memorable for both the giver and the receiver. This guide will show you how to create your own money roll using a tissue box and a free printable.
Crafting the Perfect Money Roll
The money roll’s charm lies in its simplicity and the element of surprise. By rolling dollar bills interspersed with decorative paper and inserting them into a tissue box, you create a seemingly endless stream of money that the graduate will enjoy pulling out.
This DIY project requires minimal supplies:
- A square tissue box
- Printable arrows and decorative toppers (downloadable online)
- Approximately ten dollar bills (or any denomination you choose)
- Scissors
- Tape
- A few tissues from the box
Step-by-Step Guide to Assembling Your Money Roll
Follow these simple instructions to create your own money roll graduation gift:
- Prepare the Printable: Print and cut out the arrows and decorative topper.
- Prepare the Tissue Box: Carefully open the side of the tissue box and remove all the tissues. Reseal the opening with tape. Attach the graduation-themed gift label to the front of the box.
- Assemble the Money Roll: Start by taping the decorative topper to the first dollar bill. Alternate taping dollar bills and decorative arrows until all bills are used.
- Roll and Insert: Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the connected bills and arrows. Insert the rolled money into the empty tissue box, ensuring the decorative topper protrudes from the opening.
- Secure the Topper: Use a few tissues to gently secure the money roll in place and prevent it from unrolling inside the box.
Making it Personal
While this guide provides a basic framework, feel free to customize your money roll. Consider using different denominations of bills, adding personalized notes alongside the arrows, or decorating the tissue box to match the graduate’s school colors.
