Abstract: The method of forming a money tree or bush comprises the steps of providing at least two rod-like members; providing at least two bills of paper-like negotiable currency; accordion pleating each bill along the length thereof; pinching each pleated bill in the middle area of the accordion; securing each bill at the pinch to a rod-like member; and fanning out the accordion pleated sections of each pleated bill around the place of securement to one of the rod-like members to form a structure looking like an imitation green and white leaf or flower. The money tree or bush formed thereby includes at least two rod-like members and at least two fanned out pleated bills formed in the manner described.
