Origami: the Playboy Bunny ®

The buck rabbit was first shared with readers in the December 1979. (Yes. Ppl were horny back then too.) It was created by Bill Caruba, author of "The Magic of FoldingMoney." If you're less interested in folding money than in making it, move on; we can't guarantee our legal-tender lapin will multiply like you know what. (rabbits!)


Diagram One

1.Begin with a crisp dollar bill. Moisten your fingers for optimum grip and go to work. Place the bill before you. Bringing the top down, toward you, fold the bill in half. Then fold the corners up along dotted lines A-A and B-B.


Diagram Two

2.Next, fold the corners up along dotted lines A-C and B-C. Note that while the drawing shows C as a point, you should leave about a quarter-inch gap between folds.


Diagram Three Diagram Four

3.Now flip the bill over and rotate it to a vertical position with the straight edge on the left. Turn the first ear down as shown. Make an accordion-like fold along lines E-E and F-F, bringing the upper fold backward and the lower fold forward so that fold F-F lies just under the R in DOLLAR.


Diagram Five

4. Fold the lower point of the bill behind and upward so that it just takes the edge off the E at the bottom of the bill and forms the right ear


Diagram Six

5. Shape the rabbit head by tucking in the corners and the protrusion at the base of the forward ear (G) (below). Adjust the left ear to desired size by pushing it down or over slightly. The corner of the N in ONE forms the rabbit's eye.


your very own bunny!
