Where do you cut off the 1/4 inch? On one of the short sides? And why do you need to do this?

Wait... you lost me at "Now lay another eight roll width long strip of the first color down..." Help??

Sep 26, 2010. 11:58 AM999592 (author) says:

Lay a strip of tape down that is the length of eight rolls set side by side

This is a tad difficult to follow

i made the coin pocket into a id pocket by just cutting the middle out and putting in clear vinyl, or if you wanna keep the duct tape look using masking tape.

Sep 10, 2009. 6:44 PMLimeaid says:

ok um i got you until the second or inside panel where did it come from

Sep 15, 2009. 2:46 PM999592 (author) says:

could you rephrase that in the form of a question?

Aug 13, 2009. 3:46 PMmake_it_or_leave_it says:

Question. When say 5 or more coins in the change pocket, does the wallet get to thick to fold together?

Aug 14, 2009. 4:49 PM999592 (author) says:

fold the coin pocket on the OUTSIDE... works alot better...

Aug 15, 2009. 5:11 AMmake_it_or_leave_it says:

ok great!

Aug 13, 2009. 3:46 PMmake_it_or_leave_it says:

one more thing, this is the best wallet i've seen on Instructables to date!

Aug 13, 2009. 6:37 AMmake_it_or_leave_it says:

wow i think that is really great! i am TOTALLY going to make it! Nice clean design, very original, and super boss. I make duct tape wallets for my friends similar to this, and sell um for a good price. You could make loads off this design!

dude that is sooooo awsome :)

thanks

I started over 4 times with the weaving (!^%$)
so I just made a solid core and added the pattern on the outside :)
It looks much smoother and nicer than just weaving it.

hey i never said it would be easy

Jul 30, 2009. 11:38 PMREDphoenix374 says:

Flippen sweet dude! this is probably one of the best duct tape wallets i've ever seen! NICE!

Jul 31, 2009. 12:52 PM999592 (author) says:

well you know... i try and keep things fresh

Jul 26, 2009. 7:48 PMSigno says:

This is SICK! I made one in about 3 hours, i restarted twice though, the weaving of the duct tape takes a lot of practice to get right, but it's AMAZING results are well worth it. I couldn't resist going to Walmart and getting some black and red duct tape to do it. 5 Stars and favorited, I'm definitely going to tell my friends about this... This is without doubt the best Duct Tape wallet instructable around... P.S. I took the picture with my cell phone, it's camera sucks, so it looks like pink instead of red
