Easy Money Wallet

Easy Money Wallet
This is a duct tape wallet with a built in calculator. I built it for my younger cousin as a Christmas present. I thought that it would be a useful present because as a younger kid I hated doing math to find out how much something costed with tax. Also I knew he would think that it looked cool.

If you have any suggestions or any errors to correct please comment so I can fix it.

Step 1The Materials

The Materials
I made this entire project with materials laying around my house, and even if you don't have one of these things, they are pretty cheap to buy, probably totaling under $10.

Materials List
________________

Duct tape (I used gray. Get creative! Use whatever, however many colors you feel like)

Scissors

Standard sized card

A straight edge (I used a note card, a ruler probably would have worked better)

Pencil

Marker

Construction Paper

Calculator (Small and skinny preferably)

Cash to fill it!

I love the calculator idea as well. The only thing I would have done is to use an exacto knife to cut the excess from around the buttons to give it a more polished look (I know-polished and duct tape in the same sentence).

I made a duct tape wallet before looking at this site and i put a built in a fold out stride gum container thing in it.

that would actually be a great idea to add a duct tape version of a stride gum case into a wallet, just so you an buy a pack of stride or similar gum and fill it up with those.
