This is the perfect gift to make when you take up a cash collection at church, school, or at the office and want a creative way to present it!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I totally love your Novelty Money Plant Seed Packet. Can I print it, fill it with creative seeds, and sell it to people at craft fairs or other places?

A: Sorry, no. Thank you for your compliments, but you may not profit from my work. The Novelty Money Plant Seed Packet MAY NOT be used for any commercial purposes, including selling it as a gag gift for profit (or no profit at all) at craft shows or anywhere else. It may be printed without alteration for your personal, non-commercial use only. Please respect these terms of use and my copyright.

Q: How did you make the origami-like dollar bill plant featured in the photo on the front of the Money Plant Seed Packet?

A: What, you don't think it really grew out from the ground?! C'mon, where's your imagination? Oh, all right. You can find my easy step-by-step Money Plant making instructions in the project e-book.

Q: Is there a story behind your Cashius monetarius Dollar Bill Money Plant invention?

A: Absolutely! It's also in the e-book and includes a fun anecdote about how I got back at a money-grubbing co-worker with this delightful gift as a memorable retirement present.

Q: What can I put inside of the Money Plant Seed Packet to complete the gag?

Anything you'd like! People have filled the packet with pennies, real seeds, and their own "home-made" seeds. If you're an artist or crafter, you can get very creative with making your own "seeds" from paper, clay, buttons, wood, modeling compounds, or anything else your imagination conjures up. Some magic and novelty shops sell tiny replicas of minted coins (pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes) that would also work well with the theme of this joke.

“I just wanted to say how wonderful I think your website is. So many time I am looking for simple craft projects to do for the kids at church and either have to purchase info or figure it out on my own. It is so great to see someone share their gift of creativity with those of use who aren't as fortunate in this area but can follow simple instructions. My small group at church is making the Money Plant for some missionaries that we are supporting and it will make a great centerpiece for our send off party and well as a wonderful parting gift. Thank you so very much for sharing.” — B.R.
