Little Wallet With Cardboard for MP3 Reader/Phone

Hey everyone! This is my first Instructable. I found something similar on Youtube but I wasn't satisfied, and I decided to do it myself. I used my own MP3 reader but you can take your phone, your tablet if you are courageous.

I'm french and 14 so I don't speak english very well, sorry.

Have a good tuto and enjoy !

Don't hesitate to ask me whatever you want in the comments!

Step 1: Step 1: Tools

You'll need:

- A piece of cardboard

- Some scotch/glue stick

- Some pens and felts

- A ruler

- Three sheets of paper

- A cutter or cisors (I prefer cutter)

Your MP3 reader or phone

Step 2: Step 2: Draw the Outline of Your Object and Cut

Draw the outline of your object and add another outline (to five milimeters). Then, cut the exterior one.

Step 3: Step 3: Do the 'step 2' Three Times and Cut

Step 4: Step 4: Cut the Interior Outline

Step 5: Step 5: Prepare Your Base

Take 3 sheets of paper, overlay them and cut out the shape of your pieces of cardboard.

Glue it. Do it 2 times and take one for later.

But you can use a Canson Paper of the color of your choice.

Step 6: Step 6: Add the Cardboard

Place the cardboard in the middle of your sheet with the MP3 reader.

Glue the three floors to the sheet and adjust. Be careful to let a little space between your device and the cardboard.

Step 7: Step 7: Cover the Cardboard

Cover the cardboard with some paper outside and in front of the future wallet (1 or 3 thickness).

Step 8: Step 8: Make and Add the Opening System

Take your second base (from step 5).

Cut (always your 3 sheets overlayed) a piece of paper (the length of your base X 5 cm of width) and glue about 2 cm on each face. You can use tape to secure all.

Step 9: Step 9: Make and Add a Clasp

Cut 2 pieces of paper (12 X 0,5//14 X 0,5) and fold it in two. Glue it and fold again in two.

Take the 12 X 0,5 paper and glue one face entirely. For the other face, just glue the end (to let something slide inside).

Take the 14 X 0,5 and glue the end on the back of the wallet. The beginning should slide in the other paper.

The clasp is finnished (you can decorate it).

Step 10: Step 10: Decorate

I did it before the clasp (that was an error).

Do whatever you want, you can vary the colors of the papers, the clasp, the opening system.

Step 11: It's Done!!

My model is really simple, but the frog one and the BMO one are a bit more complicated.

Thanks for reading me !
