Paper Wallet

Step 7: Zipper Folding

I finally figured out an easy way to explain this

you will lock both ends separately.

starting from the inside, and going to the outside, there will be a flap, then a pocket, then another flap, and another pocket. We'll call these 1,2,3,4 respectively. Fold the inner flap (3) into the inner pocket (2), then fold the outer flap (1) over 2 and 3, and into the outer pocket (4).

do the same to the other end.

i would suggest taping flap 3 inside the pocket to hold the wallet together better.

I love this instructible! Once I made one, the process seemeed MUCH easier! Just make one of copy paper, then use something durible, like construction paper. Mine turn out a little odd, and you all might have odd ones too, but if you cut at the right places and sizes, it makes it work. :D

and on steps 6 and 7 theres a way to interlock both sides ill try to post a picture of it

i did this wallet and it is great but i made mine with taped together monopoly money and then put clear tape all around it and made it waterproof i was gonna do a different one but then it was to hard so then i had a big sheet of monopoly money so then i used this design but it works very good for me and since mine has tape all over it its waterproof and it has lasted me about 3 months now.very very good design

love love love this instructable!! i got confused on this step because i didnt get that each side was a 1,2,3,4 series, i had the wallet folded up and couldnt understand the order of flaps and pockets. if you take the directions for each side, it was super easy! thanks!!!

[mcgyver0012]

once you get to here it should be really easy and thanks to him my wallet is great!

[instructa-fan]

making it a little easier, fold the outer flap to the hole on the inner one, and the inner one on the hole in the outer one.

hi u noe i have trouble with this mostly step 7 it was hard i actually threw the paper because it was a ll confusing can u make it easier???

[mizzoufan96]

HOW could this be confusing
My 5 year old brother asked what i was doing and made one all by himself!

[theRIAA]

if I made it easier all the technically-minded people would be confused.

[MrCreator]

lol i think it's easy enough

[d22]

i cant make it

[runrun265]

I needed a clear pocket on the inside for my bus pass so i took syran wrap and taped it in. working quite nicely

[cccdub]

this makes no sence to me at all...

[bondini]

thanks 4 that i just made a prototype from lined paper in 5 mins... now onto bigger and better things (its time to CUSTOMIZE!) props 2 ya 4 the gr8 design

[dangermarc]

I figured out that the confusion here, for me, was in the folding. If you fold it right, the zipper fold is easy to understand. Fold the paper inwards in the order shown here: 1) Top crease 2) Bottom Crease 3) Middle crease

Thanks- this is the part that I kept having trouble on.

[fadbum]

[gomerbarkley]
