I made one but i messed up.It could open up and had the staps but they were not in an x so on the other side of the wallets i added a pocket for coins and stuff .If you had trouble mabey you could add a pocket.

This is awesome im in the field right now and im going to make one out of 100 mph tape !!

Mar 5, 2009. 10:03 AMcddsuperstar says:

Wait, so you put the dollar in without putting it in the straps and then it "magically" appears on other parts depending how you open it? Cool! By the way, do you have a how-to video on this? It seems like a more complex project, even though I duct tape a TON, so a video would help! Thanks! Awesome wallet!
