The Three Card Monte - An Origami Wallet

Step 8 Putting Your Card in the Three Card Monte

a) This is how your cards fit into the pockets. The fit should be snug, but not tight. If the cards don't want to go in, consult step 1 again and make sure you printed your crease pattern out without scaling it down.

b) Did I mention how nicely this wallet fits into your breast pocket?

Why not try this again with the trompe l'oeil patterns? If you're in the USA, you'll want the American letter paper version; if you're in a country that uses a nonhumanistic measuring system, you'll want the A4 version.(See below.)

I love this! Best origami project/ instructable EVER! You gave really clear, detailed & easy to follow directions. I did it first w/ just plain lined paper (from your pattern) then printed out the card design & it went really easy the 2nd time. I painted on a lite coat of modge podge (like a decoupage finish) to make it more durable but it takes a while to cure so I'm not sure just yet. I sprayed fixative on it first so the ink wouldn't smear.
Thank you!

You should have won the paper wallet contest. Yours was the most original (yet still very useful)that I have seen and I can't believe the one that looks the most like a normal wallet won. Your card print-out made it look gorgeous.
