Duct Tape as Fabric

Step 3: How to Make a Duct Tape Wallet (1 of 3)

There's no need for that $129 wallet from Coach, Fossil, or (insert designer name here). With a $4 roll of duct tape any size of wallet is possible. Plus, if it every did rip, break, or tear, you can use more duct tape to make a quick repair or just make a new one.

Step 1: Make a sheet of duct tape

Cut eight (8) strips into 10 inch strips (image 1). Lay four of the strips parallel (lengthwise) to each other and then slightly overlap the long edges to create a sheet (image 2). Repeat.

Take the two sheets and stick the sticky sides together (images 3 and 4). The edges will not perfectly line up, that is ok. It is also possible there will be air bubbles, that is ok also.

Trim the edges to create a rectangle that is about 9 by 6 inches (image 5).

Cut one more piece of duct tape, 10 inches, then cut it in half lengthwise (image 6). Use the two pieces of cut tape to cover the two long edges of the 9 by 6 inch sheet (image 7).
