Step 3Folding
This part is a bit tricky to describe but actually makes a lot more sense once you start doing it. By popular demand, I have added diagrams to my original pictures, I hope they help.
1) Lay out your envelope with the side you want as the outside of your wallet facing down. I wanted some colour on the outside so the white inside is facing up. (In the diagrams, this is the red side)
2) Fold down the big flap on one side along the envelope's pre-made creases. I chose the logo side for aesthetic reasons. This is Fold 1.
3) Use your preferred currency to mark out the necessary height of the wallet. In my case, poverty has forced me to choose Mr. Washington of the USA but you could use Euros, Rupees, Kronurs, Monopoly money, etc. If you will be using currency that have different heights (e.g. Euros), make sure to use the biggest bill for this step.
4) Fold up the envelope along this new line. This is Fold 2.
5) Use a credit card to mark the appropriate height from the bottom for the next fold. Fold this inwards. This is Fold 3 and will create the outside of the card holder pocket.
6) Fold 4 brings the paper back up and Fold 5 completes the inside lining of the card holder pocket. In the diagrams, length A corresponds to the width of a bill while length B is the height of a credit card.
Please note: You can repeat Folds 4 and 5 at this point with the flap at the end of Fold 5 to make as many additional pockets as you wish (or length of envelope material will allow). In this instructable, I'm going to keep it simple and stick with just two pockets - money and card.
7) Tuck the excess flap from Fold 1 under the remaining flap from Fold 5 -- I'm calling this Fold 6. Trim off anything that doesn't fit.
Your finished strip of folded wallet material should look like the last photo.

I am really having trouble understanding this. Can you specify if the folds are mountain or valley folds when you say "fold?"
