DIY Duct Tape Wallet I 寬膠帶皮夾

Part 1 (The Actual Wallet)

This craft is the ultimate duct tape project.

You need:
-ummm... duct tape!
(of the colors you wish your wallet to be)








Step 1:
        Cut 8 strips of duct tape of the desired color (which will be the wallet's color) and to the desired length. Mine was blue, and about 22 cm, or 8.5 in. long.






Step 2:
        Take one strip and stick it onto another, but leave a little space. Then stick on another strip and try to align it with the space mentioned above. Repeat until all 8 strips are used.

        You should place the strips on top of each other AND leave a little white space between 2 strips, so it will be 2 strips–space–2 strips. The end result is at the bottom picture on the right.

        Fold the resulting sticky parts over. Trim off any non-straight edges, if desired, with a scissor or craft knife. Crease the wallet in half on the white space. After creasing, you should get one longer part in the back, and one shorter part in the front.
Step 3 (optional– for a border):
        Cut a strip of another color to the length of the strips, like 22 cm (I used black). Also, cut this strip in half. Use one half to cut off a tiny, tiny piece. Reference the circled part of the picture to stick it on.


        Stick the other half onto the part on the back, but do NOT fold it over yet.

Step 4 (not optional–
unless you don't want the two parts to stick):
        Cut two strips of the wallet's color to the length pictured (the first part's width).

        Stick it onto the sides as depicted below. Fold over, to stick the two parts. Repeat for the other side.

        Now you can fold over the black strip.
