Mousepad Wallet

I went to this great place in Sydney and picked up a mixed bag of stuff including some mouse pads. They get things destined for the dump and stock them. You can buy a whole bag full of anything you want from around the place for 5 bucks (Australian)!!!
I saw the wallet comp and thought "Thats an idea! I can show how green this recycled wallet is"
It may look a little stingy though because mine was a rush job. If I make another I will post it because it will have a decent hour spent on it...... Enough intro, lets go!
Also my camera wouldn't focus on title shot. Sorry!

Step 1: What you'll need.

You should gather the following:
1. a few mouse pads, though you can make do with 1
2. A stanley knife
3. A ruler - I didn't use one so mine is messy
4. Hot glue gun or another effective glue
5. a 9v battery or battery clip
6. A credit card or similar to measure the card holder

just curious, what was that place that you are talking about in sydney?

The battery thing is totally cool. Couldn't have even dreamed of it. Like nagutron said, mouse pads have cool textures and are cheap enough to get many. So you can make many wallets to impress your friends. Nice!

Good idea. Mousepads have all kinds of cool textures, so this could turn out really well. The inside liner layer could be made out of something thin so the wallet turns out less bulky. Also, using a 12V battery connector as a snap closure us cool. I'd never thought of that...

Thanks! It turns out a duct tape wallet had done it too but around the side there are lots of the clips so I thought Id use one. Thanks for the feedback!
