Coffee Bag Wallet

Step 6 Sew up those loose ends.

The final step to you coffee bag wallet involves a bit of sewing. Use a thick thread, and I find a curved needle makes this step easier. Starting at the inside bottom, press your needle through close to the edge of your folded wallet, making sure to pierce all four layers of the coffee bag. Pull the thread nearly all the way through, tie a knot in the end and snip off the excess. Now continue to sew the edge of the wallet in a spiral towards the top. Once you reach the top, reverse gears and spiral your way back down the edge for a nice criss cross pattern. At the bottom, loop the needle through your initial hole several time then loop the needle under the thread to finish your knot and cut off the excess. Repeat on the other side and your done!

I hope you enjoyed this instructable, and I hope I was clear on some of the steps. Contact me if you have any questions.

I think this idea would be such a great gift for a coffee lover, esp.   I'm going to see if my six year old grandson likes this and if he does I might try doing it with those drink bags that are so convenient for trips in the summer.   Thanks, kitty
