Step 3Mtb tire origami
fold up the tire so the sidewalls are inside. This is your chance to figure out the sizing. so put a card in there, think about how big you want the wallet to be, play with it, look at it from all angles, etc.
cut out a couple of pieces at the middle where the wallet will fold, as in the photo.
The strap:
You can make a strap to hold the wallet closed with another strip of inner tube. I cut off a circle of tube, then cut it so it's just a long piece rather than a ring. I cut into the end of the wallet as in the photo to make a place to put this strap. For the next one, instead of cutting directly from the end, I'll make a 'plunge cut', by stabbing thru instead of cutting from the end, so that there's just a slit for the strap to fit thru, rather than a cut that goes all the way to the end.
The ends:
the pieces cut out of the sidewalls, from the first photo on this step, are now the little end covers. see the photo to get what I mean.
Assembly:
Don't worry, you'll see more pics of the assembled parts in the next step.
Put in the card sleeves, the end covers, and the strap all together and do more checking and fitting and such. get it all lined up. pin it in place with a tack, needle, or whatever. put the tack thru where you will put the rivets that hold the whole thing together.
Next you're gonna use the hole punch if ya got one, to make the holes bigger where the tacks are, and then start riveting. yay!
