My wallet from these instructions lasted two whole years. It's beat up now - sure - but it far outlasted my expectations. That one was pink; next one is orange...

Thanks!

Here's mine based off your instructions.
Once you the hang of how to make pockets in duct tape you can make any style of wallet you want.

for all you magicians out there: you CAN make a fire wallet from this. I don't know
if I have anything that can be applied to duct tape to make it non flammable, so I won't be making an instructable on that anytime soon.

out of all of my brainpower at that moment, I was stupid enough to forget about a chef's best friend: tinfoil. it's almost physicality impossible to burn.

I just made one, it took me an hour but that could be because i'm only 15 years old and i have no experience at all with taping things :P
Good instructable :D

this is great! but i must have done somnething stupid...my first card pocket makes my cards stick to it when i put them in...just the very end of the card sticks

Feb 7, 2011. 4:20 PMethoo says:

you left an open, uncovered part of the pocket, a sticky side, way down at the bottom

It is a good wallet. I suggest though you work on keeping everything smooth and neat. I guess I could consider myself experienced considering I'm merely 13 and have the neatness part down. If you aren't already, try using an exacto knife, a ruler, and a more efficient process.

best of luck...

I'm going to buy some digital ACU camo duct tape at Walmart. (Hopefully)... And I'll let you all know how it turns out.

i made mine out of gorilla tape, very good ible, 13 and very experienced at duct tape wallet (have 7) and overall, good instructions, vague at times, but seems like it will last long, thank you

May 3, 2010. 5:22 AMlost_sanity says:

yay! i just made one but i ran outta duct tape half way throught :S

i haz clear pockets!

Aug 31, 2009. 10:20 AMJasonMyers says:

I think I'll make mine with a few colors, or make a blue wallet and throw some multi colored stripes on it.

Jan 12, 2010. 5:04 PMjstephens908 says:

Or you could just buy the "tye dye" or multi-coloured styles of duct tape

Dec 25, 2009. 12:56 PMmacs_rock says:

For a first time duct-taper, my wallet turned out great. I skipped the second card pocket, because I really don't carry many cards with me. Thanks for the directions!

Feb 12, 2009. 10:43 AMkeithsachs says:

mine came out reallllyyyy bad.

Jun 3, 2009. 7:20 PMPastTheVoid says:

keithsachs: Let me see it then. Mine came out so that I had to cut the top off!

Nov 22, 2009. 6:59 PMr0ker says:

Jul 25, 2009. 2:58 PMFiremanDave says:

Thanks for taking the time to create this instructable. I can think of a couple minor improvements that I'll post next time. My fingers hurt from all the duct tape pulling. heh.

Jul 23, 2009. 10:21 PMsingerinsouthwest says:

haha i made mine a lil diferent with clear duck tape and put comics inside and it turnes out great lol im just good with duck tape ^.

Jul 19, 2009. 6:41 PMbenboy444 says:

thanks heappps. i didn't have any duck tape at home, so i just used some wide, cheap masking tape. i really hope my wallet lasts, coz i spent like an hour on it.

Jun 24, 2009. 9:55 AMmichi123123 says:

it took my like 1:10 mins to finish and i screwed up on the second pocket

May 30, 2009. 5:56 PMriver140 says:

Hi! Well, it took me longer than half an hour to put together, but it is beautiful! I've made a few other duck tape wallets but they always end up getting sticky and falling apart. This one seems like it'll last. Thanks!

Feb 2, 2007. 11:26 AMducttapesam says:

Theres a better way to do it.

May 11, 2009. 7:31 AMnutsandbolts_64 says:

If your talking 'bout how to present it, video. If your talking about how to make the wallet, I've got no idea.

Mar 20, 2009. 8:45 PMpixiefix says:

I like the color of your duct tape.

Jan 15, 2009. 11:32 PMsymesy says:

All you people who are saying there is a better way, then show us, don't just say it. I think this was a good Instructable, but could have been explained better. I still had no idea how to make one though. Stop saying and start doing it!
