iLegal Paper Wallet

Step 8Personalize it!

You don't really have to do anything else to your wallet, but why wouldn't you?

Here are a few ideas:
  • Strengthen the wallet with an iron-on denim patch. You can probably find this at your grocery store or a fabric store.
  • Write some financial wisdom on the outside of the wallet. You can start with these money quotes.
  • Print all your club cards bar codes on the back. You'll want the codes to print about 11 1/2 inches down on the paper so they end up in the right place when all is folded up.
  • Write grocery shopping lists on the outside, When there is no more space, discard and make a new one.
  • If you are a mac user with access to Omnigraffle, use my omnigraffle template to add personal photos to the outside of your wallet.
  • Strengthen the wallet with Duct Tape!
  • Make a few, paint them with water color to match your favorite shirts. (ok. i'm lucky when my socks match, but someone might do this --- maybe?)
  • Doodle on it.

I too owned a Creative, and the only thing "creative" about it was how creatively they ripped me off with a piece of junk. I still have my 1st gen iPod, and it works (unlike my Creative-hunk-O-junk). iPods rule, Creative drools. Actually, it doesn't drool. It does nothing. It might be cool, if it drooled, but it doesn't. It just sits there and does... nothing, and not very creatively either. Meanwhile, my iPod keeps on playing music and not doing what the Creative does, which is nothing. You don't have to ask a Creative to "please die", they do it without being asked. Which, you might consider "creative"... to die without being asked. If so, boy do I have an MP3 player for you.. my Creative Hunk-O-Junk. Perhaps it's biding its time... lying in wait, to one day suddenly work and THEN be creative. I doubt it though, and if that is the case, I'm sorry, but I consider my iPod continuing to play music much more "creative" than my Creative not playing music, and lying in wait... not playing... anything, creatively or uncreative-ly. "Creative, please live. (meanwhile) iPod rules".
