How to Make a Money Clip That Looks Like a Hand

When I decided to design a money clip, I was thinking about how it should look like. Then I looked at my hands and then came the idea: let's make hand looking money clip. Here it is how I made it.

Making the Base

First of all, you should make the base. I made a rectangle and then drew a finger. Then drew another rectangle pointing upwards. After that I drew a smaller and a bigger arc and pushed to the other side and pulled the drawed the finger up to the level of the arc. After everything a erased the unnecessary lines.

Making the Top Part

In this you have to make the top part by connenting the fingers end to the end of the arc. On the third picture I'm cutting a bit from the bottom of the top part, so when it's 3d printed it doesn't stuck together.

Making the Fingers

I drew three guide lines to help me to separate the fingers then drew four arcs. I drew long rectangles next to the guide line and pushed it downwards (only about one milimeter), because it separates the fingers visibly. I erased the unnecessary lines here too.

I painted everything green. I really liked the idea, that was shown in the 3d money clip tutorial, so I used it too. It helped holding the money in place.I used a rectangle solid instead of the round shape. I put the rectangle solid to the top part and pushed a bigger rectangle shape downwards carfully to make sure the two parts don't touch each other. 
Congratulation! You have made you money clip! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial as I did making it . :)
