Awesome Duct Tape Wallet

Note- This is my first actual instructable so don't be too harsh

Also after i make it neat and add decoration i will add the new pictures

This is a wallet I made for myself based off of one i previously made. It has 1 main pocket, 1 pocket for an ID card and 6 pockets for normal cards and 1 secret pocket for anything that wouldn't fit in the card pocket.

also all measurements do not have to be perfect.

If you like it rate it and comment. if you make it post pictures.

I made one of these previously, and i am considering making another one with some minor adjustments. i have found that cards can often fall down insode the pockets, or get stuck on tape at the bottom of the pocket depending on whether you follow picture 3 (as i did with some) or whether you overlap a bit at the bottom (as i did with others). i would suggest possibly another bit of tape at the bottom folded so that the waxy side is facing "inwards", towrds where the cards will sit.

I've used two peices of clear packaging tape place against each other to for a clear "cover, just do that twice and you've got this!

Apr 26, 2012. 12:30 PMalindley says:

another way is to use a piece of OHP or similar plastic, thats what i'm planning on doing (although using tape makes it a "proper" tape wallet lol)

do u have to use tin foil or paper? why do u use it?

Apr 26, 2012. 12:28 PMalindley says:

it just allows you to get the right size peices without having to worry about the duct tape sticking to everything while you measure it

I see what your "extra piece and hole are for. you would tuck it in as a latch. Right?

just use different duct tape for the different parts, i.e. use a different color for the credit card slots

Mar 14, 2010. 2:04 PMjagnat4000 says:

should I cover the back as well?

May 31, 2009. 2:56 PMMongo Of Fire says:

why not just make two outer ones? why does one have to be smaller?

Mar 13, 2010. 2:25 PMjagnat4000 says:

so that the outer one folds over the inner one neatly without overlapping at the edges.
