Duct Tape Card Wallet

Make this easy No-Sew Duct Tape card wallet in no time flat!
It's thin enough to slip in your pocket and made to sport your favorite prints.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You'll need:

• Fabric 4 1/2" x 6" (11.5cm x 15cm or so)
• Duct tape (color of your choice)
• Stapler + staples
• Scissors
• Business or ID/Bank card (for measuring purposes)
• Tiny magnets (opt) not for use with credit cards

Step 2: Tape Your Fabric

Prepare the back of your fabric with strips of slightly overlapping strips of duct tape

• Cut strips of tape to extend slightly beyond marked lines
• Overlap rows of tape a small amount
• Cut off edges of tape flush with fabric

Step 3: Tape Back Raw Edges

Finish the two short edges by taping them back on themselves.

• Cut a tape slightly longer than the short edges
• Lay tape underneath fabric (on the right side)
• Fold over edge about 1/2" (1.25cm)
• Repeat on both sides

Step 4: Add Magnets (opt)

Now is the time to add magnets if you choose to do so.
They're SO not necessary, but do offer a satisfying snap to the final product.
do not use if carrying credit cards

• Fold the now-taped edges over the business card to give yourself a good idea of where the new edges will occur, and crease.
• Place a magnet in the center of crease to the outer edge.
• Use a small piece of tape to secure
• Repeat on other side, making sure magnet polarities are properly aligned.

Step 5: Create Pockets

Time to make the pockets!

*Turn the fabric over so you're looking at the fabric side.

• Fold the duct taped side back over your business card to form the pockets (yes, you're doing this inside out right now)
• Staple once on each side to hold folds in place
• Now go back and staple along the edges (leaving enough room for the cards to slide easily in and out, and for there to be a stack of them)

Step 6: Tape Back Edges

Now you'll tape over the stapled edges

• Cut tape slightly larger than the edges you just stapled.
• Lay the tape over the staples on the side with the pockets
• Fold toward the duct taped side along the line of staples
• Tape down firmly
• Repeat on other side

Step 7: Turn Wallet Right Side Out

Turn your wallet right side out!
(that was pretty self-explanatory)

• Use a closed pair of scissors to work the corners out and make sure no tape is sticking to itself.

Look how thin it is!

Step 8: Fill With Your Cards and Those of Others

This is a cool accessory to whip out when it's card sharing time.
Keep a handful of your cards on one side, and keep other people's in the other side!

Or use it as a regular wallet and keep your license and bank cards on one, and cash money on the other!

I'm going to make a ton of these to go with all of my outfits.
This one obviously goes with my deathskullbandana outfits.
