Show and Share: Duck tape wallets

Three boys plus one craft loving Momma... let's see what we get into!

Duck tape wallets


Okay so I had a moment in the store the other day. When I was a kid, duck tape came in one color. Can you believe all the different types of duck tape out there?! There are different colors, patterns even some with cartoon characters on it. We HAD to play with it. There are so many different crafts that are out there that you can do with duck tape. We choose to make wallets!

what you need-
ruler
duck tape
scissors

steps-
1. Cut or rip four 9" pieces of duck tape.

2. Overlap the four 9" pieces just cut.

3. Cut or rip four more 9" pieces of duck tape.

4. Take the previous four strips that you overlapped and oeverlap on top of those. This makes a duck tape sheet.

5. Trim the edges up!

6. Cut or rip one strip of 9 1/2" piece of duck tape, then cut it in half long ways. This is going to be the trim for the top on the the wallet.

7. Take one half and lay it midway and fold over. Do the same on the opposite side. Trim the ends off.

8. Cut or rip three 14" pieces of duck tape. This is for the pockets.

9. Take two of the 14" pieces and lay them sticky side to each other.

10. Take the last piece of 14" duck tape and cut it in half long ways.This is the trim for the pockets.

11. Take the 14" layered strip and put it half way on the 14" strip, fold over. Do this for both of the long sides.

12. Trim the sides.

13. Take the strip and cut it into four rectangles. If you have a ID card to use to measure how long to cut, that works best.

14. Take your sheet of duck tape fold it in half long way. Lay this down with the long open slit at top.

15. Take your four card slots and lay them down on top of the folded sheet. Stagger them so that you can get cards in. Make sure to put the trim side up.

16. Tape the middle of the cards down first with duck tape.

17. Then tape the sides. Make sure to tape the cards and the sides of the wallet down.

18.  Tape the bottom of the card slots.

19. Trim any excess tape.

20. Fold your wallet in half!
