A duct-tape wallet is simple craft that you can create in less than a half hour.
Creating a duct-tape wallet can be an easy way to express your individuality and artistic skills or simply a way to carry around your money without spending money. There are many ways to create a duct-tape wallet, but most ignore longevity. Avoiding exposed edges by simply sealing over the wallet will give you a personalized money holder that will last.
Instructions
1. Rip off two pieces of duct tape at least an inch longer than a dollar bill.
2. Overlap the two pieces of tape along the length by at least half an inch, laying the tape face up on your cutting board. Be sure the height of the combined pieces of tape is slightly larger than the height of the dollar bill. You should end up with a rectangular combined strip of tape.
3. Rip off three more pieces of tape about a half inch longer than your original pieces. Stick to the combined strip, overlapping the edges all around the original rectangle.
4. Flip over the combined pieces so that the sticky edges are showing. At each corner of the exposed sticky tape, make a cut at about a 45-degree angle down to the edge of the non-sticky side.
5. Fold the tape down all along the edges and seal it at the corners.
6. Create a second rectangular piece by repeating steps 1-4. When overlaying, substitute the half-inch measure with a quarter inch to create a shorter piece.
7. Fold the tape down along only the top edge.
8. Wrap the other edges around the first rectangular piece, creating a pocket. The top of the wallet and the top of the pocket should be staggered.
9. Fold the combined rectangular pieces in half to create the wallet.
