Magic Duct Tape Wallet

Magic Duct Tape Wallet
It's a magic wallet, made out of duct tape. The magic wallet has been done before, but I decided to make one, dirt cheap. This should last a while, and if it gets destroyed, just take another fifteen minutes and make another one.

The story behind it...
Well, I was watching QVC, and I saw that they were selling "magic wallets" for 20 dollars for a set of two. I thought, OMG, who in their right mind would pay that much for something that they can make with stuff around their house?? So, I decided to make one, on the cheap, with stuff in my bedroom. And I came up with this.

There is a magic wallet instructable out there already, and it is good, if you know how to sew.

If you like my Instructable, rate it please!!

Step 1Crap You Need

Crap You Need
Don't need much, you need:
-Duct Tape (for colors, go to Wal-Mart, they have every color imaginable)
-Stiff Cardboard (I used an old Converse shoebox)
-Scissors
-Pen
-Altoid tin (trace this for wallet shape)
- You don't need an altoid box specifically, you could use a playing card, or anything wallet shaped that will fit cards into it.

Just love duct tape wallets
made lots in the past but lost my instructions
We made our fishermen friends some as leather doesnt fair to well if it gets wet they just loved them and very cheap to replace.
Looking forward to constructing more!!!

First you cover the cardboard then you get two pieces of duct tape then you fold them in half I cut them again but you dont have too you connect them together and tape it off ( I hope this helped you im not a very good explainer) :)
