I FINALLAY FINISHED after 4 hours.....I love you for this instruction, not hard at all and my wallet came out awesome. I had to use scotch tape for the id however (didn't have any packaging tape) ^_^

[farmerboyk]

You could use a plastic sandwich bag.
Put your ID card in the sandwich bag to the bottom corner of one side, then trace it with some extra space(For the tape to hold it).
Now, cut inside the lines you drew, and use that instead :)

Wow that looks amazing! congrats and enjoy

[OldShotgunYoungShooter]

Lets hope I have enough for this whole project.

[Electronics Man]

Wow this is awsome! I really like the clear wallet, in fact I think I will make one now.

[simlerdood]

I really don't understand what you did here so I went ahead and completed the wallet by myself. Try explaining a little better in the future.

I'm just wondering... what's the point of that flap on the coin pouch?

[Doganie]

I love this instructable, I think this might be the first one I have ever actually used!

So I made a regular duct tape one, but couldn't do the coin pouch because I ran out of tape :(

So I made another one! This one completely out of packaging tape :D I feel like it's kind of counter-productive to have a clear wallet, but I don't really care, it looks cool.

Sick wallet, and wat type of duct tape do u use

[chicdrummer47]

@cullen: How do you make the bi-fold? what is different? i dont really need the card places on both sides, and i wouldnt mind it being smaller ^^ what should the dimensions be of the first sheet and did you need to make the ID pocket or the card holder smaller?

[cullen]

Sorry for the late reply, but the beginning sheet is 6.75 inches in width and 8 inches in length, I think. The ID holder is not different but you can't add change pouch. The ID holder is the right height but the card holders you can only hold 2 cards instead of 3. But the overall design is the same just less of it.

I was doing pretty good until step 4 (#12-16) it is sooooo confusing. i have no idea how it measured 4.25 at the end????????

[CODO69]

check out the new video on step 4.

[thinkle]

i made the four squares and now i am REALLY confused do u tape the squares together? what do u do?!

[CODO69]

I've added several new pictures. hopefully this will better illustrate what i meant.

[Jib391]

Hey you should post a video on how to do this.

[CODO69]

done

[thinkle]

sorry but i still cant quite get it.... whats the yellow? whats the gray? im sorry for the tublr ;_' i rlly like the wallet so i rlly wanna make it

[CODO69]

i finally posted a video for step 4.

[CODO69]

I'm not really sure how else I can clarify the step for you. I noted that the yellow and gray that you mentioned (the ones i think your talking about) were an old credit card and a piece of paper covering up the numbers on it. I used them to make sure the tape that was folded back was folded properly. Let me know if that helps at all... or not.

[bero2]

i love the wallet itself but i lost it on step 4...

[CODO69]

i posted a video that should help.

[Drogean]

ok figrued it out Corrections: 4) Using your ruler, make the WIDTH of the tape sheet exactly 2.75" after applying the 4th piece and folding it over. The length should stay 3.75" 5) Repeat Steps 1-4 again so you make 2 more tape-rectangles. 6) Repeat steps 1-4 once more, but this time the length of each strip should measure 3.5". This will make another, shorter box. The Width will still be 2.75" 7) Skip this 8) Skip this 9) With your ruler, measure the 3 sheets of equal size to 3 3/8" length, keeping the 2.75 width, score and cut. The one sheet that was 3.5" long, measure and cut to 3" in length even. 10) Cut 4 strips of tape measuring 2.75" long each. Place one piece over an end of each tape sheet. This will be to seal the edges basically and look nice. Hope this helps.

I don't think people were having issues with this section... I'm having difficulty starting with #12. but thanks for clarifying! Any help with #'s 12-21??

[CODO69]

i posted a video if it'll help.

[carlys216]

Never mind. I get it! I'm think that for #12, you are supposed to put a piece of tape 2.75 inches long on the other end of the sheet (the end opposite of the one you already should have covered with tape). You only put half the tape on the bottom and rather than folding it over onto the other side, you fold it back so the tape faces up... If you understand this, then the rest should make sense. :)

[jaketb]

 some of these steps are confusing u should clear them up and if u can put a video on  it would be less confusing

[CODO69]

video has been added.

[hornbadoing]

You should most definitely make this into a two or three part video on Youtube

[CODO69]

just added a video how to if your interested.

[CODO69]

I think I will here in the near future. lol I'd like this to be one of the most viewed duct tape wallet instructables.

[cullen]

Woo-Hoo finally finished my two wallets I modified your original design and made it into a bifold smaller wallet for one of my "clients". Tell me what you think. (Oh and the blue wallet has been in use for a while so its kind-of dirty haha.) Sorry I took a lot of pictures haha...

[CODO69]

They look great. someday when I take a break from my many other little hobby projects, I'll get around to updating this tutorial and answering all those questions people have asked me. Maybe finally make a few vids for the areas people seem to have the most trouble.

[cullen]

They end up GREAT wallets but they do take a while and its kind-of confusing but nonetheless amazing instructable and wallet. :)

[carlys216]

These are fantastic! Just wondering... how much are you able to sell them for?

[CODO69]

I was selling them anywhere from $10-$15. I use to make 3 different designs, this one sold for $15. For an extra $5, i use to customize them for people, like putting the pouch else where or adding other features. It was some extra quick cash for my time in korea.

[mopzerone]

hi well i`ve done one and is kind of huge and it doesn`t stay closed
lol

[randomguy96]

Try laying some books on it for a while. That should help.

I was looking online for colored duct tapes to use in this amazing project. And I found this guy selling them for really cheap on ebay. 2" x 10 Rolls all kinds of colors. I bought all 7 colors he had and made wallets for my whole family! My friends actually want me to make it for them lol I;m gonna be charging them 15 dollars for one ;P
