You should add a step putting aluminum foil in the walls of the wallet, to block RFID.

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
ethoo says: Feb 7, 2011. 4:20 PM
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

I think I'll make mine with a few colors, or make a blue wallet and throw some multi colored stripes on it.
jstephens908 says: Jan 12, 2010. 5:04 PM
Or you could just buy the "tye dye"  or multi-coloured styles of duct tape

 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!
keithsachs says: Feb 12, 2009. 10:43 AM

PastTheVoid says: Jun 3, 2009. 7:20 PM
keithsachs: Let me see it then. Mine came out so that I had to cut the top off!

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.
singerinsouthwest says: Jul 23, 2009. 10:21 PM

benboy444 says: Jul 19, 2009. 6:41 PM
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.
michi123123 says: Jun 24, 2009. 9:55 AM
it took my like 1:10 mins to finish and i screwed up on the second pocket

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!

Theres a better way to do it.
nutsandbolts_64 says: May 11, 2009. 7:31 AM
If your talking 'bout how to present it, video. If your talking about how to make the wallet, I've got no idea.
pixiefix says: Mar 20, 2009. 8:45 PM
I like the color of your duct tape.
symesy says: Jan 15, 2009. 11:32 PM
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!
