How Do You Make A Duct Tape Wallet?
Everybody needs a wallet, right? If you have a taste for the unconventional, or you’re simply a stubborn do-it-yourselfer, then whip out that roll of duct tape and make your own wallet! • Rip a strip of tape at least 10 inches (295 mm) in length and place it sticky side up on your working surface. • Rip a second piece of equal length and place sticky side down halfway over the first strip. Fold the rest of the strip facing up over the second strip. • Flip over the two strips and place a third strip sticky side down covering the remaining sticky part of the second strip. Flip the sheet again and continue extending the size of the sheet until you’ve created a large sheet of duct tape that is 8.5 inches (215 mm) by 10 inches (175 mm). • Trim all the edges so that they still fit into the size requirements. • Fold the wallet in half and tape 3 sides (bottom and two sides) to create a large pocket to hold bills. • To create credit or business card pockets, make another sheet that’s 4 by 3.5
This is a great craft project using materials from around the house to create something useful–in this case, a wallet. Duct tape wallets are also perfect activities for summer camps or after school programs. Step 1 Pull 6 strips of duct tape off the roll. Each strip should be about 12 to 16 inches long. Step 2 With each strip sticky side up on the table, gently overlap the strips onto one another (the overlap should be about half an inch) long ways so you have one big rectangle of duct tape. Create another rectangle in this same fashion, as close to the same size as you can, and place it on top of the original rectangle with the sticky sides stuck to one another. You should now have a big rectangle of duct tape with the darker side exposed on each side of the rectangle. Step 3 Fold the rectangle and trim it so that it is approximately the size of a regular wallet when it is completely open. Some wallets fold into thirds, some in half, so create it the way you would like. Once you have
