Step 3: Basic Wallet Piece
Ok the first steps are seting up he basic wallet parts
2 pieces that are approximately 9 by 4
These will be made out of 9 by 2 ducktape pieces
You can see that its only 2 duck tapes pieces wide but there is 3 pieces why? to cover up the seem between the original 2 pieces and make it that mush stronger ;)
Note: You will need 2 of the finshed 9in by 4in pieces

Step 4: Combining the 2 Side Pieces
Here are my basic steps for making the $$ holder part of the wallet
Step one place both sides on a flat surface duck tape facing up
It helps to put small pieces of tap on the back to hold it still
Now tape down the seem or line in the middle of them as pictured
Make it longer then it needs to be you can cut of the left overs
Second pic is the finished taped sides

Step 5: Taping the Sides Shut
So now you have an 8in by 9in piece of duck tape and tin foil. People will ask why not just hack made a 8in by 9in piece in the start? Well the pieces of duck tape and tin foil help to make the piece stronger and easier to fold ;)
Ok so fold the 8 by 9 in half with the grain as in it should make a nice and sharp fold not a bent one See Pic
Now pull off a piece of tape that is about 4 and 1/2 in long ( you will need 2 of theses)
At the end of the folded 8 by 9 but one of the strips half way off the edge and fold it over to the other
You will have or should have small taps left over as pictured

Step 6: Tapeing Lose Edges ;)
Ok now that we are done with the sides we need to smooth the tops by adding a duck tape edge
Get a piece of duck tape about 9in long
SEE HERE!!
Ok if you are trying to save duck tape use only one 9in long piece cut down the middle with a ruler and razor plade as shown
If you have tape to spar just use 2 9in pieces of tape
cut them to the length of your base so far See Pic
Tape them to the out side half way over the edge and then fold then in wards
